Professional-Grade Performance

The Wrangler is engineered for those who demand more from their outdoor cooking equipment. At 36 inches with 1000 square inches of cooking space, this is the model for serious grill masters, professional chefs bringing restaurant-quality cooking home, and anyone who refuses to compromise on quality.

The heavier 7/32" steel construction (versus 3/16" in smaller models) provides superior heat retention and distribution. This means more consistent cooking temperatures, better searing capabilities, and the thermal mass to handle extended cooking sessions without performance degradation. The 130-pound basin weight ensures rock-solid stability even in wind, while the 53-gallon capacity allows for larger fires and longer burn times.

Made in Salt Lake City, Utah by skilled craftsmen, each Wrangler receives the attention to detail that makes it not just a grill, but an heirloom-quality piece of functional art.

Cooking at Scale

With 1000 square inches of cooking surface, the Wrangler handles:

• 50+ burgers or equivalent protein capacity
  
• 25-30 steaks grilled to perfection simultaneously
  
• Multiple cooking zones for different heat levels and techniques
  
• Large-format cooking like whole fish, large cuts, or multiple racks of ribs

The truss-reinforced 3-piece hinged grill is engineered to support heavy loads without warping or sagging. Add wood or adjust coals through the hinged sections without removing food or disrupting your cooking. The 2-piece removable charcoal grate makes cleanup and maintenance straightforward.

For basin cooking, the 53-gallon capacity opens possibilities: massive seafood boils for parties, gallons of chili for fundraisers, or slow-cooked stews that feed dozens. The Wrangler transforms from intimate dinner party to community gathering with ease.

Utah-Made Quality

Every Wrangler and Ranch Boss is handcrafted in Cowboy Cauldron's Salt Lake City workshop. This isn't mass production—it's American manufacturing at its finest. Each basin is carefully formed from a single piece of plate steel, eliminating weak points and ensuring structural integrity that lasts generations.

The aluminum composite rain cover (exclusive to Wrangler and Ranch Boss models) provides superior weather protection compared to soft vinyl covers. This hard cover shields your investment from rain, snow, and debris while maintaining its appearance season after season.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning the Grill Surface: While still warm (use proper protection), brush the cooking grill with a long-handled grill brush. The chrome surface maintains its non-stick properties with regular brushing.

Exterior Care: Wipe outside surfaces with a soft rag dampened with warm soapy water. Never use oven cleaner or abrasive materials. For optimal protection, use Cowboy Cauldron Bear Fat product (sold separately).

Basin Maintenance: The thicker steel develops a beautiful patina over time—this is normal and desirable. Regular Bear Fat application protects against excessive rust while enhancing the natural aging process.

Storage: Use the included aluminum composite rain cover when not in use. For long-term storage, store in a covered area.
