Authentic Argentinian Parrilla Grills & BBQs in the UK

Our double wall masonry construction has an inner skin made of refractory fire bricks moulded into heat resistant concrete of up to 650 centigrade (1200 F). This type of construction gives optimal cooking temperatures keeping the burning embers in peak condition at all times. The outer wall which utilises new technologies in pre-cast reinforced concrete minimises moisture absorption so effectively eliminating any chance of cracking even in the harshest of fluctuating temperatures.

The traditional crank handle and chain system allows the grill height to be adjusted quickly and effortlessly while cooking. By raising or lowering the cooking surface over the embers, the Asador can precisely control the intensity of the heat without disturbing the fire.

This ability to manage the distance between the food and the coals is one of the defining characteristics of an authentic Argentine Parrilla and a major difference from a conventional BBQ.

The Enamel Coated V-groove Grate provides a sturdy cooking surface and more even heat distribution than typical wire-grate barbeques. The grilling surface which sits at a slight angle allows the juices that drip from the meat to run down the channel and collect in the drip pan below. This design eliminates any fire flare-ups that you find familiar with wire-grate Barbeques where fat drips onto the charcoal below producing flames causing burning to the outside of the meat while sometimes still raw inside.

The Drip Pan Fat Collector is a complimentary component to the V-groove grilling surface, the drip pan collects meat drippings and prevents them from spilling onto the coals causing fire flare-ups that can burn the meat. It also allows you to baste the meat in its juices throughout the grilling process or reserve them for sauces and gravies.

Not only do the doors give an elegant and stylish finish to all our BBQs but they also have practical uses. The upper cover/door which encloses the grill can also be used while cooking to enhance "smoke" flavours if preferred, and when not in use, protect and store away your grill from the elements. The lower sliding doors form a compartment that is perfect for storing coals, wood and utensils safely away from young children.

The fireside wood basket option is for those who would like the option to grill with wood as well as coals, the wood burner iron basket which can be positioned to one side of the Parrilla will produce your fuel directly from hardwood giving continuous ready supply of perfect burning embers. Once the desired amount of coals has gathered, simply shovel and distribute the coals to the base of the Parrilla. Moreover, because you can make your fuel if you decide to use wood, experiment with the distinct flavours imparted by different types of wood: from oak to Mesquite, Applewood to Hickory, the choice is yours as you customize your hardwood grilling experience to your liking.
