Pros: Great price, good feature set, lots of room Cons: Flimsy construction, lack of after market parts
Summary: For the price, this is one of the best grills you can buy. It is feature-rich, decent-sized, and well-designed. I bought a Santa Fe as a trial grill after my gas grill died. The idea was to cook on a lower-priced grill for a year to decide whether I ... read more

Pros: I really can't think of any. Cons: Lightweight metal construction. Very flimsy.

Pros: The metal may be recycled. Cons: too many to list, don't make the mistake I did.
Summary: I bought a Char-Broil Santa Fe at Home Depot to replace my aged 860 grill. That was a bad idea as it turns out. The Santa Fe construction is cheap and flimsy. The thing leaks air at every possible place and the front door for fire access doesn't seal ... read more

Pros: grill area, capacity under the hood which is excellent for the price. Cons: quality: on the flimsy side. lid, door fit. Needs additional heat adjustment levels.
Summary: I bought after deciding to go back to all charcoal cooking; replaced a high $ propane that burned the rubber hose on a fresh tank. Whoosh! (My fault for leaving it untended.) Material quality is what you could expect for the price. Assembly IS a two
