Part of our Chief Series, the BBQ18SI is a heavy-duty Argentine-style grill with an exclusive black finish and 556 sq. in. of grilling surface. It features manually adjustable round grates with 2 preset positions, a firebox with firebrick lining, and all food-contact parts crafted from 304 stainless steel. Additional elements like a top lid, front drawer, 4 swivel casters, and tool hooks make it a complete backyard grilling station. Simple, bold, and built to last.
Our SI models, like any grills made from cold-rolled steel, are prone to rusting, especially in areas exposed to the highest heat, such as the firebox. This issue is more common in regions with high humidity.
Due to the nature of this material, the BBQ may develop:
- Surface rust (oxidation)
- Heat discoloration
- Patina over time
These are natural and expected characteristics, not defects, and do not affect the performance or structural integrity of the grill.
