Santa Maria BBQ Outfitters, in Santa Maria, CA, manufactures a variety of value priced vertical lift grills. These grills cook over an open wood or charcoal fire using a crank to raise or lower the grates for heat control. There is no lid. The vertical lift design is widely used in Spain, Italy and South America, but was popularized in the United States in Southern California and commonly referred to as Santa Maria after the namesake town northwest of Los Angeles.

They offer some accessories like a side burner, grates and cutting boards. They are distributed at some retailers, like Costco and Home Depot, at select locations out west. Also available direct.
