Yoder Smokers 42″ El Dorado BUILT-IN Santa Maria Grill
🔥 Authentic Santa Maria–Style Cooking
Tradition Refined. Fire Perfected.
At the heart of the 42″ El Dorado Santa Maria Built-In Charcoal BBQ Grill from Yoder Smokers is the time-honored tradition of Santa Maria–style grilling—reimagined as a refined culinary centerpiece for the backyard or professional outdoor kitchen.
Santa Maria grilling traces its roots to California ranches of the mid-1800s, where rancheros mastered cooking over open flames. The El Dorado honors this legacy by giving you complete control over heat the authentic way: raising and lowering food directly over live fire. Sear steaks low over a scorching coal bed for bold crust and flavor, or lift the grates to slowly roast large cuts over wood or charcoal. This is true live-fire cooking—hands-on, immersive, and deeply satisfying.
🧱 Built-In Elegance for Outdoor Kitchens
A Permanent Statement of Craftsmanship.
Designed for permanent built-in installation, the 42″ El Dorado becomes the natural focal point of any custom outdoor kitchen. Its bold yet refined design integrates seamlessly into islands and countertops, blending form, function, and tradition into one commanding presence.
Constructed with thicker, heavy-duty steel and a fully firebrick-lined firebox, the El Dorado delivers exceptional heat retention, even temperature distribution, and long-term durability. This is a grill designed not just to perform—but to endure for generations.
⚙️ Engineered for Mastery
Precision Control. Built for a Lifetime.
Every detail of the El Dorado is engineered to elevate your cooking experience:
-
Chain-lifted grates paired with cantilever arms provide open access from all sides and smooth, secure height adjustments
-
A custom cast hand wheel with ratcheting control allows precise temperature management
-
The insulated firebox and front door minimize heat radiation, keeping exterior surfaces cooler and improving efficiency
The El Dorado’s innovative “tub-within-a-tub” design—a 10-gauge steel inner firebox surrounded by a 12-gauge outer shell with a 3″ air gap—extends the life of the grill while creating a safer, more stable cooking environment.
