Parrilla Grill

There are so many ways to cook over a fire, and if you are a BBQ connoisseur, then you would already be familiar with Argentinian grills.

What is an Argentinian Grill?

Argentinian grills are also known by the names Parrilla Grills, Gaucho Grill, Santa Maria and Asados Grills. In summary, they are the traditional Argentinian way of grilling meat over an open fire. They are perfect for cooking big steaks, ribs and other cuts of meat to perfection.

The key feature of an Argentinian grill is the height-adjustable V-shaped grill that is easily adjusted by rotating a large round handle on the side. The grill also consists of a tray to hold the burning timber or charcoal in, and this charcoal tray can also be lined with firebricks for greater cooking efficiency. A brasero can also be used alongside to burn the timber and allow you to shovel the hot coals directly under your height-adjustable cooking grill.

What are the benefits of cooking on an Asado/Parrilla grill?

There are quite a few benefits of cooking with Argentinian Parrilla Grills, and this is due to the grill itself giving you instant control over cooking temperatures. The height-adjustable V shape grill catches most of the fat coming out of your food and drains it away from the fire into a fat catch tray, minimising flare. The grill also has a very generous height adjustment so you can drop it right down low for some hot and fast searing, lift it halfway so you can grill in the fire or have it up high for slower cooking with a smokier flavour. That's right! Who would have thought that you don't need an offset smoker to cook smoked meat?

What are the main Parrilla Grill designs?

There are generally 3 main designs that are available for sale. The key feature of the height-adjustable grill stays the same throughout, but the main difference is in the base of the grill.

The first design is a free-standing Parrilla Grill with firebricks in the base. These come in different sizes and are very heavy but efficient when cooking due to the heat retention of the bricks.

The second design is also a free-standing grill; however, the base is not lined with firebricks, and you usually light the charcoal/ fire in a charcoal tray.

The third design is for those of you who already have a BBQ, or a spit and wish to convert it or add the Asado height adjustment feature to your BBQ. The Asado grill insert is a complete functioning height-adjustable grill insert that you can sit on top of your existing BBQ, spit or fire pit.

At some stage of your BBQ journey, there will come a time when you’ll hear about the legendary Argentinian grill—also known as the parrilla, gaucho grill, Santa Maria, or asado grill. 

This style of cooking is all about grilling over an open fire with a unique height-adjustable V-shaped grill that puts you in total control of your cooking heat. Perfect for big steaks, ribs, and other cuts, a parrilla grill brings the authentic Argentinian asado experience right to your backyard.

Authentic Argentinian Parrilla Grills for Traditional BBQ Cooking

What makes a parrilla grill different from other BBQ grills is its unique and clever design: a height-adjustable grill grate that you control with a large handle, letting you raise or lower the cooking surface over glowing coals or timber embers. This means you can sear hot and fast down low or cook slow and smoky up high—no offset smoker needed for that classic smoke flavour! 

The V-shaped grill also catches fat drippings and channels them away to prevent flare-ups, keeping your meat juicy and your fire steady.

Whether you go for a heavy-duty free-standing model lined with firebricks for heat retention, a lighter base with a charcoal tray, or even a parrilla insert to upgrade your existing BBQ or spit setup, these grills bring authentic Argentinian flavour and flexibility to your outdoor cooking.
