Top 10 Must-Have Accessories for Asado BBQ

You’ve fired up the parrilla, chosen your favourite cuts, and invited your guests. Now all you need are the right accessories to cook and serve like a true asador. At Parrilla Gaucha UK, we’ve curated professional-grade Argentinian tools and tableware that make every stage of your asado smoother, safer and more enjoyable.

Here are our top 10 must-have asado BBQ accessories — all available from our Asado BBQ Accessories collection.

1. For Perfect Sausages

Set of 6 Chorizo Sausage Skewers (42cm)

Juicy chorizos are a staple at any Argentine asado, but they can be fiddly to manage on the grill. Our Set of 6 Chorizo Sausage Skewers (42cm) keeps your sausages secure and evenly spaced so they cook consistently over the coals.

The double-prong stainless steel design holds each chorizo firmly in place, while the wooden handles stay cool enough for comfortable turning and serving. It’s a simple upgrade that makes service faster and presentation much smarter.

Asado tip: Thread sausages with a little gap between each one to allow the heat to circulate and help the fat render beautifully.

2. Fire Management Essentials

Handcrafted Shovel & Pick (80cm Wooden Handle)

No asado is complete without proper control of the embers. The Handcrafted Shovel & Pick with 80cm Long Wooden Handle lets you move, spread and bank the coals with precision while keeping your hands safely away from the heat.

Hand-forged from mild steel with comfortable wooden handles, this set is built for heavy, regular use — whether you’re grilling on a parrilla, using a fire basket or working with a built-in outdoor kitchen.

Asado tip: Use the pick to pull fresh embers from the fire and the shovel to create “heat zones” on the grill for different cuts.

3. Everyday Grill Tools

Barbecue Tools Set – Black (3 Piece)

From flipping steaks to serving vegetables, the Barbecue Tools Set – Black (3 Piece) covers your day-to-day grilling needs. The set includes a fork, spatula and tongs — all made from durable stainless steel with heat-resistant black handles.

It’s a practical, budget-friendly kit that works brilliantly as a backup set for busy grilling days or as a starter set for new asadores.

Asado tip: Keep one tools set dedicated to raw meats and another for cooked food to keep things cleaner and safer when you’re cooking for a crowd.

4. Show-Stopping Centrepiece

Asado Cross and Adjustable Stand

If you want a truly traditional gaucho-style feast, the Asado Cross and Adjustable Stand is a dramatic and authentic way to cook large cuts, racks of beef or half a lamb over an open fire.

Hand-forged in Argentina, this adjustable iron cross offers several inclination levels and 360° rotation, so you can control the distance from the flames and achieve slow, even cooking with delicious, smoky flavour.

Asado tip: Use a separate fire basket to generate embers, then position the cross to the side for a gentle, indirect heat that cooks big cuts slowly and tenderly.

5. Serving Like a Pro

La Garra para el Asado

Once the meat is ready, you need a tool that makes serving easy and neat. La Garra para el Asado is a sturdy meat-handling claw designed for lifting, shredding and serving hot cuts straight from the grill or brasero.

It’s especially handy for large joints, ribs or slow-cooked cuts that need gentle handling to keep them from falling apart.

Asado tip: Rest your meat on a wooden board first, then use La Garra to pull and portion it in front of your guests for a real theatre moment.

6. For Gooey Provolone

Cast Iron Provoletera 15cm

No Argentine barbecue is complete without bubbling provolone cheese. The Cast Iron Provoletera 15cm is sized perfectly for individual or shared portions of provoleta, giving you that irresistible golden crust and melted centre.

Heavy-duty cast iron holds the heat, so your cheese stays hot at the table — ideal as a starter or side dish while the main cuts are still on the grill.

Asado tip: Top your provolone with oregano, chilli flakes and a drizzle of olive oil before it hits the grill.

7. Rustic Presentation

Wooden Board (Tabla para Asado)

Serving on a board is part of the ritual. The Wooden Board (Tabla para Asado) gives your grilled meats a warm, rustic stage and protects your table at the same time.

It’s ideal for slicing and sharing steaks family-style and works beautifully alongside your knives and Gaucho tableware.

Asado tip: Lightly oil your wooden board with food-safe mineral oil now and then to keep it conditioned and looking its best.

8. Keeping Food Hot at the Table

BRASERO DE MESA (Authentic Argentine Coal-Driven Food Warmer)

Straight from the grill to the table — and still sizzling. The Brasero de Mesa is an authentic Argentine table-top food warmer that keeps your meats and vegetables hot for the whole meal.

Just fill it with a few hot coals from the parrilla, place your cooked food on top, and let your guests help themselves to perfectly warm portions all evening.

Asado tip: Use the brasero for mixed platters of sausages, short ribs and vegetables so guests can graze slowly without anything going cold.

9. Gaucho-Style Wine Service

Artisan Handmade Wine Bottle Holder (Nickel Silver & Cow Horn)

Great meat deserves great Malbec. The Artisan Handmade Wine Bottle Holder is a striking table piece handcrafted in Argentina from nickel silver and polished cow horn.

It doesn’t just hold your wine — it tells a story of gaucho craftsmanship and adds a refined finishing touch to your asado table.

Asado tip: Pair rich cuts like ribeye or tira de asado with a bold Malbec or Cabernet to match the smoky flavours.

10. Asado Anywhere

Asado Picnic Plate Sets

For park meet-ups, countryside grills or beach barbecues, the Asado Picnic plate sets keep your setup organised and stylish on the move. With matching plates and dedicated carry cases, they’re made for travelling asadores who don’t want to compromise on presentation.

Load them up with freshly grilled meats, chimichurri and salads, and you’ve got a mobile asado wherever you go.

Asado tip: Pack your picnic set with pre-marinated meats and a small bag of charcoal so you’re ready to grill as soon as you find the perfect spot.

All of these accessories — and many more — are available at Parrilla Gaucha UK. Build your dream asado kit once, and you’ll enjoy unforgettable barbecues for years to come.
