The El Dorado's cantilever cooking arms travel through 15 inches of vertical adjustment on a heavy-duty chain drive with sealed bearings.

Drop low to build crust fast, then crank up and let thick cuts coast to temperature without burning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, the firebox and cooking floor are lined with firebrick. Brick soaks up heat and radiates it back, which evens out hot and cold spots and keeps the cooking environment steadier as you add fuel. The firebox is 10-gauge steel inside a 12-gauge outer shell with a 3-inch insulated air gap between them. That double wall keeps heat in the cooking area where it belongs and keeps the outside cooler with family and guests nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard V-groove grates are 12-gauge stainless steel, with channels that steer grease and drippings away from the fire to cut down on flare-ups that scorch meat.

Build a hot bed of coals on one side and a gentler zone on the other. Use the firebrick floor as a cooking surface for cast iron, Dutch ovens, planchas or griddles, roast vegetables right in the embers, and use the hanging system to suspend proteins over the fire.
