Well, thanks to some great info from some generous forum members, and a patient wife, I have finally got the Santa Maria Pit built. I will still cover the block with a stone veneer when we get the pavers, fire pit, and built-ins for the gasser and pellet grill all done. I can't wait to fire it up and burn it in. Once I fire it and clean the grill really well, I will rub some cooking oil on it to keep it sealed. I see some backyard fun coming up.:mrgreen:

I've never cooked on one, but I have seen some awesome food cooked on them on TV. A show called Man, Fire, Food had a nice segment showing the grill. I hope you enjoy it. Break out the tri-tips!
 
Cooking over fire is the BEST! Beautiful pit.. Now if you can find some kind of lid you'll be amazed how well it can cook that way too.
