Looking for some recommendations on a parilla or Santa Maria style grill. Have a good size offset and a Weber Genesis but want an open flame live fire cooking apparatus instead of using the fire box of the smoker

It would be though to beat a Mill Scale

You can also find a ton of fabricators that can make you one for about 1/3 of the price of a Mill Scale. I know Mill Scale makes great stuff, but that seems like a bit of overkill for a grill that started out as a 55 gallon drum cut in half with some angle iron for framing and a grate raised and lowered by a wheel using bicycle chain.

I've had my eye on something similar by a company called barebones - barebones 30 inch cowboy grill. It has tracks where the grate can circle around the pit and can also raise up and down. Much cheaper at $600 too. There just isn't a lot of info aside from the company's own marketing, and it only comes with a limited one-year warranty, so not very impressive.

I have a Mill Scale smoker but if I were to get another cooking apparatus like a Santa Maria or pig smoker (and I will), I'm getting Backline Fabrication out of Dripping Springs to make it.

Built this one to replace a regular propane unit. The one below it just because. It uses a 1/4 hp electric motor ran through a garden tractor 5spd transaxle and some gearing. It will take the 1725 rpm motor down to 1.5 rpm on the spit rod.

good info. MIll Scale definitely has the pricing benefit of good marketing

Contact The Pit Man that posts on the OB for a quote. Pics he's posted over the years look great.
