Yoder Smokers 60" El Dorado Santa Maria Grill

At the heart of the El Dorado’s design is the time-honored tradition of Santa Maria-style grilling, fused with innovative engineering, heavy-duty American craftsmanship, and proudly built in Kansas, USA. The 60″ El Dorado represents the ultimate expression of this philosophy, creating a live-fire cooking platform capable of grilling, roasting, hanging, ember cooking, and open-fire culinary exploration from a single fire. Built for those who want more than a grill, the 60″ El Dorado provides the space, versatility, and control to unlock the full potential of live-fire cooking.

At the center of the platform is a firebrick-lined cooking floor that serves as the foundation of the entire cooking experience. Designed for exceptional heat retention, efficiency, and fuel flexibility, the refractory-lined floor absorbs, stores, and radiates heat while creating an active cooking surface of its own. Whether utilizing cast iron cookware, Dutch ovens, planchas, griddles, or traditional ember-cooking techniques, the floor itself becomes another layer of cooking capability that extends beyond conventional grilling.

The expansive 60″ platform unlocks the full potential of live-fire cooking by allowing multiple techniques to operate simultaneously. Build independent heat zones across the firebrick floor, suspend proteins from the hanging system while vegetables roast above glowing embers, or combine cast-iron cooking, direct grilling, and open-fire roasting in a single cooking session. The additional space isn’t simply more cooking area – it creates more opportunities to interact with fire and expand what is possible around it. From large-format entertaining to traditional whole-animal cooking, the 60″ El Dorado provides the capacity and flexibility to tackle cooks that smaller platforms simply cannot accommodate.

Buying a grill like this is a big decision, and we treat it that way. When you reach out, you talk to a real person on our team who cooks on this equipment, knows it inside and out, and will walk you through every option before you spend a dime. No call centers, no scripts, just straight answers from people who barbecue.

Once you order, we handle the details personally. Every grill is inspected before it leaves our hands, and if you ever have a question down the road, you call the same store that sold it to you. We're a family-run shop, and our name is on every order. If something's not right, we make it right.
