🔥 Authentic Santa Maria–Style Cooking
Compact Power. Timeless Live-Fire Tradition.
A compact yet commanding addition to your outdoor kitchen, the 36″ El Dorado Santa Maria Built-In Charcoal BBQ Grill from Yoder Smokers delivers the soul of open-fire cooking in a refined, built-in format. Designed for permanent installation, it brings the legendary Santa Maria grilling experience to smaller outdoor spaces—without sacrificing performance, control, or presence.
Rooted in California’s ranching heritage, Santa Maria–style grilling was perfected by rancheros cooking beef over live wood fires. The El Dorado honors this tradition with a design that lets you control heat the authentic way: by raising and lowering food directly over the fire. Sear steaks inches above glowing coals for bold crust and flavor, or elevate the grates to slowly roast larger cuts with patience and precision.
🧱 Perfect for Compact Outdoor Kitchens
Built-In Elegance Without Compromise.
Crafted specifically for built-in installation, the El Dorado 36″ integrates seamlessly into outdoor kitchen islands and custom countertops. Its clean lines, smooth edges, and commanding presence make it a natural centerpiece—whether paired with stone, concrete, or stainless cabinetry.
Beneath the surface, Yoder’s heavy-duty steel construction and fully firebrick-lined firebox deliver exceptional heat retention, even temperature distribution, and long-term durability. Designed for frequent use and serious cooks, it’s built to perform reliably for years of backyard gatherings and elevated entertaining.
⚙️ Engineered for Excellence
Precision Control. Handcrafted Durability.
Every detail of the El Dorado is purpose-built for control and longevity. Chain-lifted cooking grates, paired with a custom cast hand wheel, allow smooth, precise height adjustments—even under heavy loads. The insulated firebox and front door improve heat efficiency while keeping exterior surfaces cooler for added safety and comfort.
