Hand-made by local artisans in Argentina, the Nuke Puma Outdoor Argentinian Grill is a Santa Maria-style grill with a heavy-duty brazier-style fire starter basket where wood is burnt to hot embers before they are slide onto heat refractory bricks under the grill. A control wheel raises or lowers the grill grate allowing grillers to cook from 4 in. to 23 in. from the coals. It's outfitted with v-shaped grill grates, traditional in Argentinian real-fire cooking, to channel fat away from the fire avoiding flare-ups. Combining stainless and heavy-gauge steel, the Puma comes with a wheeled-cart, fire poker and shovel, as well as a cast-iron griddle to overlay the brazier for flat-top cooking.
- Lump charcoal or wood: The versatility of the Nuke Puma allows you complete control for high-heat searing to low-and-slow cooking simply by moving the coals below the cooking surface, or raising and lowering the grill deck.
- Refractory bricks: The heat refractory bricks which line the grill body ensure maximum heat retention and focus all the wood fire on the cooking grate.
- Control wheel: The quintessential Santa Maria-style control wheel raises and lowers the grill grate from 4” to 23” inches to switch from high-heat searing to low-and-slow grilling
- Traditional v-shaped grill grates: The V-shaped grates channel fat and drippings away from the fire to avoid flareups
- Durable: Combining high-grade stainless cook surfaces and heavy-gauge steel exterior give the Puma a durable and rustic look
