FAQs

What is an Argentinian grill? An Argentinian grill is known as a parrilla. A live-fire cooking system built around the principle of cooking over glowing embers rather than open flames. Hardwood or charcoal is burned in a dedicated firebox until it produces a bed of hot coals, which are then drawn beneath a height adjustable grill grate. This gives the cook precise control over temperature simply by raising or lowering the grate. The result is a style of cooking that is slower, more deliberate, and produces flavour.

What is the difference between an Argentinian grill and a regular barbecue? A conventional barbecue whether gas or charcoal cooks food directly over a fixed heat source with limited control. An Argentinian grill separates the fire from the cooking surface, so you're always cooking over settled embers rather than volatile flames. The adjustable grate means you control heat through height rather than guesswork. V-shaped grill bars channel fat and juices away from the fire, eliminating flare-ups while keeping the cooking surface clean. The experience is less about speed and more about patience, flavour, and gathering the asado is as much a social event as it is a cooking method.

What fuel does an Argentinian grill use? The grills in our collection are designed for use with hardwood logs, lump charcoal, or a combination of both. For authentic results, hardwood is the preferred choice, oak, beech, or fruitwood all produce good, clean coals with mild smoke. Avoid pine, softwoods, or any treated timber, as resinous or chemically treated wood produces acrid smoke that ruins flavour and is harmful to breathe. The Barbecook Pedro and Metartal Asador Nino grills are both built for live-fire wood cooking, with dedicated ember-making areas that keep fresh fuel burning while you cook. approved

What can I cook on an Argentinian grill? Far more than most people expect. The parrilla is built for long, slow cooks whole joints of beef, rack of ribs, lamb shoulder, whole chicken but it handles everything from thick-cut steaks and chorizo to vegetables, provoleta cheese, and even pizza. The Metartal Asador Nino goes further still, with an optional teppanyaki hot plate for searing and a smoking chamber for low and slow smoking. Once you have an adjustable live-fire cooking system at your disposal, the range of what you can produce outdoors expands considerably.

Is an Argentinian grill difficult to learn to use? The key shift for most people coming from a gas barbecue is accepting that the fire needs time plan for 30 to 45 minutes to build a proper coal bed before any food goes on. Once you have your embers, temperature control is intuitive: raise the grate for gentler heat, lower it for searing.

What materials are the Argentinian grills at Ice Cold Spice made from? The Metartal Asador Nino grill is handcrafted from stainless steel and finished in chrome. The Barbecook Pedro Asado is built from a combination of corten steel and stainless steel. A pairing that gives it exceptional durability and a distinctive, weathered aesthetic that develops beautifully with use. These are not lightweight garden products; they are professional-grade cooking systems built to last for many years in outdoor environments. We have deliberately chosen not to stock lower-grade alternatives that would not meet that standard.
