Tagwood Chief Series Grill

4.5

Best wood-fire grill for serious outdoor chefs seeking authentic Argentine results.

This is the ultimate centerpiece for those who treat live-fire cooking as a craft rather than a chore. You sacrifice the convenience of gas for the unmatched flavor of wood-fired embers, but the adjustable grates and firebrick-lined design make managing that heat surprisingly intuitive.
