The Santa Fe is a large grill and seems like a good buy. The adjustable fire grate seems like a good idea but it doesn't fix this poor design. You have to use a LOT of charcoal in this sucker to get it going. If there was something to hold the coals together you could just fire up one side but there isn't. Also, the coals sit on a solid surface with a few holes. So instead of having air flow up through the coals the air flows across them. If the coals sat on a proper grate with proper air control you could control the temps of this grill better.
Good bbq can be accomplished with this grill but it is a LOT of work. I have watched over it tediously for hours. Do yourself a favor and get a kettle style grill with an aftermarket baffle if you want a versatile smoker/grill combo.

We grill all the time even in the winter. This grill is heavy duty and has worked great. I replaced the side shelves with treated 2x12 but that's all the maintenance it has ever had. I really like that mice cannot get into it to make nests that is a serious gross-out and i could not use a grill again where that happened. This grill is huge. You do have to make a coal damn for it I just used aluminum flashing and folded it in half to thicken it up, then formed it into loops works great.We live in a woods, so I have ample access to Maple sticks, and use them to subsidize the coals saves costs but also allows for a much hotter coal. The grill is so large that adding wood is almost always needed to get the heat up. There's plenty of room for logs in this grill it really is huge and the wood gives the food an added flavor and saves cost on charcoal.
We love this grill and I'm finally breaking down and buying another.

After reading all the reviews I decided to get it. I had family coming to visit and wanted a nice large charcoal grill. I have to say it was a B**tch to put together but after it was all together, I really liked it. Very heavy and sturdy. I love the temperature gauge in the front to tell if your charcoals are at a idea temp, Hot temp or warm. I also like the front door on the front so you can check the coals or to move them around. Overall I was very impressed with it and highly recommend it.Honest reviews on Char-Broil Santa Fe Charcoal Grill
Happy to be grilling over coals again! This grill arrived in good shape and ready to assemble; two hours later, I was grilling steak! I'm a woman who has listened to complaints and bandaged bloody knuckles of my husband who had to put together grills in the past. This was so much easier than I thought it might be! Even when instructions suggested I might need an additional person to help, I was able to put it together without any. The only negative is that the coal rack hangs too low, even on it's highest level. I only need small fires most of the time. I have to build a bigger fire than needed to get (and keep) the box hot. But it's great when I need to grill for a group!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Char-Broil Santa Fe Charcoal Grill
Except for the missing parts, which took over a week to get, the grill is everything I expected and does a great job.
