#4426 Portable Split Argentine Grill | Santa Maria-Style Adjustable Grill

Closed-Front or Open-Front Firebox • Model #4426
Free Shipping* • Made in the USA

The #4426 Portable Split Argentine Grill combines the adjustable-height cooking control of a Santa Maria-style grill with traditional Argentine V-grates and drip pans. Two independently adjustable cooking grates allow you to raise or lower each side separately over a wood or charcoal fire, giving you precise control over multiple cooking zones.

Unlike models that use a brasero to produce embers separately, the #4426 is designed for cooking directly over the wood fire or charcoal in the firebox. Adjust heat intensity by managing the fire and independently raising or lowering each cooking grate.

Choose an open-front firebox for easy access to the fire, or a closed-front firebox for a more enclosed look. Heavy-duty casters provide mobility, making Model #4426 an excellent choice for residential outdoor cooking as well as restaurants and professional live-fire kitchens.

Available in sizes from 48" to 72" in your choice of 3/16" black steel with stainless steel grilling surfaces or all 304 stainless steel construction.

Includes a Complimentary Matching Argentine BBQ Tool Set — Up to an $802 Value

Key Features for Model #4426

• Two Independent Adjustable Cooking Grates: Each cooking grate has its own side-mounted hand wheel, allowing you to independently control the distance between the food and the fire on each side.

• Open or Closed-Front Firebox: Choose an open front for direct access to the fire or a closed front for a more enclosed appearance.

Choose Your Construction

3/16" Black Steel with Stainless Steel Grilling Surfaces

Rugged and traditional, black steel provides excellent heat retention and the classic appearance of a live-fire grill, while stainless steel grilling surfaces provide durability and easier maintenance where food is cooked.

All 304 Stainless Steel Construction

Durable, corrosion-resistant, and lower maintenance. All 304 stainless steel construction is especially well suited for coastal or high-humidity environments, commercial kitchens, or customers who prefer the appearance and maintenance advantages of stainless steel.

Complimentary Argentine BBQ Tool Set Included

Every Model #4426 includes a matching 3-piece Argentine BBQ tool set at no additional charge.

• Black Steel Grill: Includes our Black Steel Argentine BBQ Tool Set — a $432 value
• Stainless Steel Grill: Includes our Stainless Steel Argentine BBQ Tool Set — an $802 value

Each set is designed for use with the Argentine V-grate cooking system and includes:

• Fire Poker: A heavy-duty tool for safely moving and managing burning wood, charcoal, and hot embers within the firebox.
• T-Rake: Helps spread and distribute hot embers and charcoal for precise heat management.
• V-Grate Cleaner: Designed to clean between the channels of the Argentine V-grate cooking surface.

Argentine Grilling Meets Santa Maria-Style Heat Control

Model #4426 brings together two traditional approaches to live-fire cooking.

The Argentine V-grates provide angled cooking channels that direct grease and drippings away from the fire and into drip pans, helping reduce flare-ups.

The independently adjustable grate system provides the height control associated with Santa Maria-style grilling. Each cooking grate can be raised or lowered separately using its own side hand wheel.

Together, these features allow you to control heat in two ways: manage the wood or charcoal fire beneath the food and independently adjust the height of each cooking surface above it.

Two Independent Cooking Zones

The split-grate design is one of the biggest advantages of Model #4426.

Each grate operates independently, allowing you to position one cooking surface closer to the fire for higher-temperature cooking while raising the other for gentler heat.

This lets you sear steaks or chops on one side while cooking chicken, seafood, vegetables, sausages, or other foods at a different temperature on the other.

On the larger 60" and 72" models, the differently sized cooking surfaces provide additional flexibility when preparing different quantities of food.

Open-Front or Closed-Front Firebox

Model #4426 can be ordered with either an open-front or closed-front firebox.

Open Front

The open-front configuration provides convenient access to the wood, charcoal, and embers throughout the cooking process, making it easy to manage and redistribute the fire.

Closed Front

The closed-front configuration creates a more enclosed firebox appearance while retaining the independently adjustable cooking grates above the fire.

Choose the configuration that best fits your cooking style, outdoor space, or commercial application.

Optional Add-Ons & Configurations

Model #4426 can be customized to fit your preferred cooking style and application.

Available options include:

• Open or Closed-Front Firebox
• Round Rod Cooking Grates
• Combination of Argentine V-Grates and Round Rod Grates
• Rotisserie Kit
• Commercial and NSF Certified configurations
• Additional custom options upon request

Residential Outdoor Cooking

For the serious backyard cook, Model #4426 provides substantial cooking capacity without requiring a separate brasero.

The independently adjustable split grates make it easy to prepare different foods at different temperatures, while the portable, castered design lets you position the grill where you need it on your patio or outdoor cooking area.

With sizes from 48" to 72", the #4426 can accommodate everything from family meals to large outdoor gatherings and entertaining.

Commercial Restaurant Applications

Model #4426 is also well suited for restaurants and professional live-fire cooking applications.

The two independently adjustable cooking grates allow chefs to maintain different cooking heights and heat levels during service. The larger 60" and 72" models provide substantial cooking capacity, while the split cooking surfaces allow different foods or quantities to be managed simultaneously.

Commercial applications can include:

• Restaurants and steakhouses
• Commercial live-fire kitchens
• Hotels and resorts
• Wineries and breweries
• Catering operations
• Event and exhibition cooking

NSF Certified configurations are available for commercial use through NorCal Ovenworks Inc., our commercial grill division.
