Ñuke Puma Santa Maria Style Gaucho Grill

Description

Meet the Ñuke Puma

The Ñuke Puma Santa Maria Style Grill brings the legendary Argentine asado tradition into your backyard.

Hand-crafted by Argentine artisans, the Puma blends centuries-old gaucho grilling techniques with modern engineering to create a powerful wood-fire cooking system designed for serious grillers.

At the heart of the Puma is its Santa Maria style elevation system, featuring a traditional control wheel that raises or lowers the grill grate from 4 inches to 23 inches above the coals, allowing precise control of heat and cooking intensity. Whether you're searing steaks over blazing embers or slow-roasting ribs and vegetables, the Puma gives you total command of your fire.

The grill’s heavy-duty brazier firebox burns hardwood logs or natural lump charcoal separately before the glowing embers are spread beneath the cooking area. Combined with refractory brick heat retention, this system delivers consistent, radiant heat and authentic wood-fired flavor.

With its robust steel construction, traditional V-shaped grates, and striking design, the Ñuke Puma becomes not only a grill but the centerpiece of any outdoor kitchen.
