Most people treat a barbecue like a kitchen appliance. The Pedro has other ideas. It's a grill, a smoker, and a focal point — the kind of thing people gather around before the food is even ready. That copper-toned corten steel body develops its patina the same way cast iron develops its seasoning: through use, weather, and time. It doesn't fight the outdoors. It belongs there.
Whilst there are optional extras, the Barbecook Pedro Asado Barbecue also arrives fully assembled, and ready to go.
Height is everything
The Pedro's central trick is deceptively simple: a crank handle raises and lowers the stainless steel parrilla grate above the embers. Wind it down close to the coals and you've got searing heat for a proper crust. Wind it up and the heat becomes gentle, patient — the kind that takes a thick cut of beef somewhere interesting over the course of an hour. No fiddling with vents or guessing. The distance does the work. The V-shaped grates channel fat away from the fire rather than letting it flare, which keeps the flavour clean and the cook in control. A pull-out ember drawer lets you rake the coals or add fuel mid-session without dismantling the whole setup.
It handles more than steak
Ribs smoked slowly over beech or oak. Whole fish. Vegetables buried directly in the embers and pulled out when they're yielding and sweet. An optional plancha plate for anything too small or delicate for a grate. The Pedro doesn't have a speciality — it just responds well to whoever's cooking it.
Built to stay outside
Corten steel was originally developed for structural engineering. The oxidised surface that forms on the Pedro isn't corrosion — it's the material doing what it's designed to do, creating a barrier that protects the steel underneath. The stainless cooking surfaces are straightforward to clean, the ash drawer pulls out cleanly, and there's proper storage below for wood, charcoal, and tools — so the whole thing can live in one place and be ready to go whenever you are.
Part of something bigger
The Pedro sits within Barbecook's Nestor modular system, pairing with preparation and serving units if you want to build out a full outdoor kitchen over time. But it's not a component that needs the rest of the system to make sense. It stands on its own just fine.
