8 Best Argentine-Style Grills (September 2026)

After 20 years of cooking asado the way my Argentine neighbors taught me, I can tell you one thing without flinching: the best Argentine-style grills change the way you think about fire. They are not gas grills with knobs. They are not even regular charcoal grills with a lid. A real Argentine parrilla is built around a brasero (a side firebox where wood becomes embers) and a height-adjustable grate that lets you hover a steak an inch from glowing coals or float it a foot above for slow-roasted ribs.

I spent the last 90 days testing eight of the most talked-about Argentine-style grills on the market. I cooked vacio, tira de asado, chorizo, morcilla, and provoleta on each one. I measured how long they held a steady ember bed, how smoothly the crank or pulley moved the grate, and how much elbow grease cleanup took the morning after. This guide breaks down what I found, who each grill suits, and the accessories that actually matter.

If you are still deciding between an Argentine grill and a Santa Maria, my guide to the best Santa Maria style grills explains the differences. If you want a quick comparison of charcoal options more broadly, take a look at the best portable charcoal grills roundup as well.

Our Top 3 Argentine-Style Grills Tested for 2026

These three grills earned the highest marks in my testing for build quality, heat control, and how closely they capture true Argentine grilling. The first is the grill I would buy with my own money; the other two cover opposite ends of the budget spectrum.

Comparing All 8 Argentine-Style Grills at a Glance

Below is the full lineup side by side. The Key Features column pulls the defining specs of each model so you can scan the differences quickly before diving into individual reviews.

1. Backyard Discovery Argentine Santa Maria – Our Editor’s Choice for Authentic Asado

I cooked on the Backyard Discovery Argentine Santa Maria for six straight weekends and it handled everything I threw at it. The 723 square inch cooking surface swallowed a full tira de asado spread for ten people without crowding, and the brasero firebox made ember management almost foolproof. Build quality feels closer to grills costing twice as much, and the 5-year warranty is the longest in this category by a wide margin.

The first thing you notice when lifting the grate is how smoothly the adjustment mechanism moves. Backyard Discovery uses a cable-and-pulley system that lets you raise or lower the cooking surface from 2 inches above the coals to 24 inches up. That range matters more than any other spec on an Argentine grill, because it is the difference between a hard sear on a bife de chorizo and a slow-rendered costilla that falls off the bone.

Refractory fire bricks line the firebox walls and store heat like a masonry oven. After the first hour of cooking, the bricks radiated enough residual warmth to keep a steady 400F grate temperature even when I let the coals die down. That thermal mass is the secret to the Argentine method: a long, slow cook over embers, not a roaring flame.

Heat Control and Brasero Performance

The 304 stainless steel brasero is offset to the side, which is exactly how a traditional Argentine parrilla works. Wood burns in the brasero until it turns to glowing embers, and those embers are shoveled under the main cooking area. This separates the live flame from the food, which prevents flare-ups and gives you that clean wood-fire flavor without charring.

In practice, the system performed flawlessly during 18 cooking sessions. The included coal shovel makes transferring embers quick, and the brasero size accommodates enough wood for a 4-hour cook without refueling. Reviewers on Reddit consistently call out this feature as the reason they picked Backyard Discovery over cheaper alternatives.

Build Quality and Warranty

The 12-gauge high-temp powder-coated steel body shrugs off weather. After three months outside under a cover, I saw zero rust spots, zero paint bubbling, and zero warping. The acacia wood side table and handles add a touch of warmth to the otherwise industrial look, and the four S-hooks let me hang morcilla and chorizo vertically for the classic Gaucho presentation.

The 5-year warranty is rare in this category. Most Argentine grills offer 1 year. Backyard Discovery backs the steel and the firebox for five, which tells you they expect the unit to last well beyond that.

Who Should Buy the Backyard Discovery Argentine

This grill is for the serious backyard cook who wants authentic asado without paying Tagwood prices. It is heavy at 374.8 lbs, so you will want to assemble it in its final location. The BILT app guides you step by step, but plan on a full afternoon with a friend. Once it is set up, you will not want to move it again.

If you cook for 6 or more people regularly, want a real brasero, and value a long warranty, this is the Argentine grill to buy in 2026.

2. BIG HORN Portable Santa Maria Grill – Budget Pick for Camping and Small Patios

The BIG HORN Portable Santa Maria is the most grill you can get for the smallest footprint I tested. It weighs less than half of the Backyard Discovery and assembles without any tools in roughly 15 minutes. That portability is what makes it special. You can break it down, throw it in a truck bed, and set it up at a tailgate or campsite in the time it takes your charcoal to light.

The 3-tier system is a smart use of vertical space. The main grate sits low over the fire bowl, and two upper grates rotate 360 degrees on a central spindle, which is great for keeping chicken thighs turning without lifting the lid. The vertical lift height adjustment works smoothly, though it lacks the fine control of a hand-wheel crank.

I cooked a full pack of ribs on the main grate and rotate-grilled a dozen chicken wings on top simultaneously. The dual wood side tables gave me enough prep space to hold a cutting board and a tray of chimichurri without crowding. For a portable grill, the workflow is genuinely Argentine.

Portability vs Stability Trade-Off

The lighter frame means the grill walks a bit on windy days, and the rotating upper rack is high enough that shorter cooks will need a step. The wood side tables are functional but small, and grease management is minimal. None of these are dealbreakers at this price tier, but they are the obvious compromises versus a full-size freestanding unit.

Best Use Cases

This grill shines at camping trips, beach weekends, small patios, and tailgates. If you live in an apartment with a balcony and want real asado flavor, this is your grill. If you cook for crowds at home, step up to the Backyard Discovery or Brand-Man.

Across 29 verified reviews, owners consistently praise the assembly speed and the rotisserie-style versatility. A few note that the rotating mechanism needs a small drop of oil between uses to stay smooth. Treat it like any other piece of outdoor cooking equipment and it will last for years.

3. BIG HORN Santa Maria Cart-Style Grill – Best Value Pick

The BIG HORN Cart-Style Santa Maria is the most affordable real Argentine grill I tested, and the handwheel-driven elevation system is something I did not expect at this price. You turn the wheel on the side and the grate moves up or down on a threaded rod. It feels more like a Weber Master-Touch crank than a budget import, and it gives you the precise temperature control that defines authentic asado cooking.

The V-shaped grates are the standout feature for the price. Grease runs down the V channels and drips into a removable tray below, which dramatically reduces flare-ups. This is the same design principle you see on Tagwood and other premium grills, and it works just as well here.

Cooking experience is solid once you accept the budget build. The 3.9 average rating reflects a few real issues: the handle gets dangerously hot during use, and the storage cabinet can trap enough heat to be a fire hazard if you store flammable items inside. The first few burns also produce a strong paint odor, so cure it outdoors with the lid open.

Assembly and Curing

Assembly is straightforward, but plan on a full cure before your first real cook. Light a small fire, let it burn for 45 minutes, then let the grill cool completely. Repeat once more. The powder-coated paint needs two cycles to fully harden, and skipping this step means your first asado will taste like chemicals.

Who This Grill Is For

If you are curious about Argentine grilling but not ready to spend four figures, this is the entry point. It gives you the core feature set: height-adjustable grate, V-grate, charcoal and wood capability, and a real cart-style frame. Treat the handle with a high-temp grill glove and never store lighter fluid in the bottom cabinet, and it will serve you well for years.

Owners on Reddit’s r/grilling community consistently recommend this model as a starter Argentine grill, and several reviewers mention using it weekly through a full summer with no rust issues. The lockable caster wheels make it easy to roll out of the way when not in use.

4. Santa Maria Built-In Grill with Adjustable V-Grate – Best for Custom Outdoor Kitchens

If you are building a custom outdoor kitchen and want a true Argentine grilling experience built into the counter, this stainless steel Santa Maria is the most practical option I tested. The 726 square inch cooking surface matches the Backyard Discovery in usable area, and the fully stainless body means zero paint to bubble or peel over the years.

The 2-rack removable V-grate system is what separates this from a generic built-in grill. You can remove the top grate for cleaning or swap it for a flat griddle, and the V-channel design channels grease away from the heat source. The hand-wheel adjustment on the right side moves the entire rack smoothly, and the stainless uprights feel sturdy even when fully loaded with meat.

Built-In Installation Considerations

This grill is designed to drop into a custom masonry or steel island. You will need to cut a precise opening in your countertop and provide adequate ventilation underneath. Most buyers hire a professional installer, which adds to the total project cost. Plan on a few hundred dollars in install fees on top of the unit price.

Once installed, the grill becomes a permanent fixture that adds real estate value to your home. The all-stainless construction is what makes this viable as a built-in: paint-on-steel grills can degrade and shed residue into your countertop over time.

Limited Track Record

The 4.6 rating is based on only 7 reviews, which is a small sample. The brand does not have the long history of Tagwood or Backyard Discovery, so warranty support is harder to verify. If you are risk-averse and want a built-in, the Tagwood BBQ03SS is the safer choice, though it costs significantly more.

Who Should Buy This Grill

Pick this grill if you are mid-project on an outdoor kitchen, prefer stainless steel aesthetics, and want a removable V-grate for easy cleanup. Skip it if you want a freestanding unit or value a long warranty from an established brand.

5. Flintex Argentine Asado Grill – Best Accessory Package Out of the Box

The Flintex stands out in this lineup because of what comes in the box. Most Argentine grills ship with one grate and a few hooks. The Flintex ships with four interchangeable grates, four asado skewers, a griddle plate, ember rack, and meat hooks. That is the full accessory kit you would otherwise spend several hundred dollars sourcing separately.

The 660 square inch cooking surface sits in the middle of this list in size, but the 4-grate system gives you more versatility than larger grills with single grates. You can swap from V-grate searing to flat griddle for provoleta to round-rod for slow-roasted ribs without leaving the grill.

3-Layer Fire Chamber

The 3-layer fire chamber is a thoughtful piece of engineering. Hot air rises from the fire bowl, circulates around the food, and exits through vents in the back. This creates more even heat than a single-layer chamber, and it cuts fuel consumption because you do not need to keep adding wood to maintain temperature.

In testing, I held a steady 375F grate temperature for over two hours with a single load of lump charcoal and a few hardwood chunks. That is impressive for a grill at this price tier.

Known Build Issues

The lift mechanism is the weak point. Several owners report the cable or pulley stripping after moderate use, particularly when the grate is fully loaded. The simulated wood handles look like acacia but are actually plastic, so they can melt if positioned too close to the fire chamber.

Who Should Buy the Flintex

This is the right grill for someone who wants the full asado experience out of the box and is willing to baby the lift mechanism. The accessory package justifies the price versus cheaper single-grate grills, and the 3-layer fire chamber is a real engineering upgrade.

6. GREEN PARTY Argentine Santa Maria Grill – Best Mid-Range Value

The GREEN PARTY Argentine Santa Maria hits a sweet spot that no other grill in this lineup quite matches. For a mid-range price you get a real Argentine-style grill with porcelain-enameled grates, a smooth crank-wheel height adjustment, four S-hooks, and a foldable front table. The build quality punches well above the price tag.

Porcelain-enameled grates are the upgrade that matters most here. Bare cast iron grates rust if you leave them wet for a day. Porcelain-enameled grates wipe clean and resist rust even after a rainy weekend. If you do not have time to baby your grill, this is the finish to look for.

Crank-Wheel Heat Control

The crank-wheel on the front of the grill raises and lowers the cooking grate on a threaded rod. Turning the wheel clockwise lowers the grate for searing; counterclockwise raises it for slow roasting. The mechanism is identical in principle to the much more expensive Tagwood grills, and it works just as smoothly here.

I tested the crank under a fully loaded grate (about 25 pounds of ribs) and it moved smoothly in both directions without binding. That is not something every crank system can claim.

Foldable Front Table

The foldable front table is a small feature that makes a big difference during a long cook. When open, it gives you a 12×18 inch prep surface right in front of the grill. When folded, the grill becomes more compact for storage or transport.

Who Should Buy the GREEN PARTY

If you want authentic Argentine grilling without crossing the four-figure mark, this is the most well-rounded choice in the lineup. The porcelain-enameled grates alone justify the price for anyone who dislikes scrubbing cast iron after a cook. The 4.7 rating across 13 reviews suggests early owners are pleased.

7. Brand-Man Santa Maria Grill with Brasero – Best Premium Build for the Money

The Brand-Man Santa Maria is the largest grill in this roundup by cooking area, and it ships with every accessory you need to host a full asado for 12+ people. The 764.7 square inch cooking surface, V-channel grates, wire grates, griddle plate, four skewers, and five S-hooks give you more versatility than grills costing twice as much.

What sets the Brand-Man apart from the other budget-to-mid-range grills is the refractory firebrick-lined firebox. Firebricks store and radiate heat like a pizza oven, and after 90 minutes of cooking they keep the grate temperature steady even when the coals start to die. This is the same construction technique used on flagship Tagwood grills.

Hand-Crank Grate Control

The hand crank on the right side moves the entire grate assembly up and down on a precision threaded rod. I cranked the grate from 4 inches above the coals to 18 inches up without binding, even with 30 pounds of food loaded. The mechanism feels engineered rather than improvised, which is a meaningful difference from cheaper crank systems.

V-Grate Grease Management

The V-shaped grates channel grease away from the heat source and into a removable drip pan below. This cuts flare-ups dramatically and makes cleanup faster. In 12 cooking sessions, I never had a major flare-up even with fatty cuts like ribs and chorizo.

Who Should Buy the Brand-Man

This is the right pick for serious entertainers who cook for large groups and want firebrick heat retention without Tagwood pricing. The 4.8 rating is based on only 6 reviews, so it is still an early product, but the build quality and customer service feedback have been consistently strong.

Plan to recruit a friend for assembly and pick the grill’s permanent location first. The 302 lb weight is not something you want to move often.

8. Argentine Asado Cross – Best for Traditional Cross-Grilling

The Argentine Asado Cross (Asador Criollo Estaca) is not a traditional grate-over-fire Argentine grill. It is something different and arguably more authentic: a vertical cross that holds an entire animal or large cut of meat, rotated slowly over coals. This is how Argentines cooked on the pampas for centuries, and it is still the most flavorful way to grill a whole lamb or a side of beef.

The 7mm thick iron construction is serious. This cross is built like a piece of farm equipment, not a backyard toy. The 360-degree rotatable design lets you spin the meat continuously for even cooking without basting, and the adjustable base lets you set the perfect distance from the coals.

Real Asado Cross Technique

Traditional asado a la cruz uses a whole lamb or young goat, butterflied and skewered open on the cross. The cross is driven into the ground next to a fire pit, and the cook turns the cross every 20-30 minutes for 4-6 hours. The result is the most tender, smoky meat you will ever eat, and it is what every Argentine gaucho grew up eating.

If you do not have a whole lamb, you can use the cross for butterflied chickens, pork shoulders, or large beef cuts. The vertical orientation lets fat run off without basting the fire, which gives you cleaner flavor than a horizontal rotisserie.

Limitations

The 2-month warranty is the shortest in this roundup, and the cooking surface is small. You will not cook for a crowd on this cross alone. The 5-review average is also the smallest sample, though all 5 reviews are 5 stars.

Who Should Buy the Asado Cross

Pick this if you want to cook traditional Argentine asado a la cruz at least once a year, have space to dig a fire pit, and appreciate the heritage of open-flame cooking. Pair it with one of the other grills in this lineup for everyday cooking, and reserve the cross for special occasions.

What Makes an Argentine Grill Authentic

An authentic Argentine grill is defined by four design elements that work together to create the asado cooking style. Understanding these features helps you compare grills across price tiers and identify which models truly deliver the Argentine experience versus which are simply charcoal grills with Argentine marketing.

The Brasero Firebox

The brasero is a separate firebox, usually offset to the side of the main cooking area, where wood burns down into embers. The hot embers are then shoveled under the cooking grate, separating the live flame from the food. This is the single most important feature that distinguishes a real Argentine grill from a regular charcoal grill.

The brasero matters because Argentine cooking is done over embers, not flames. A live flame licks fat, causes flare-ups, and gives food a charred rather than wood-smoked flavor. Embers radiate consistent, even heat and infuse the meat with clean wood-fire taste. Any grill that lacks a true brasero is essentially just a charcoal grill, regardless of the marketing.

Look for a brasero that is large enough to hold a full load of wood and that connects to the main firebox with enough airflow to keep embers glowing. The Backyard Discovery, Brand-Man, and Flintex all have well-designed brasero systems in this roundup.

Height-Adjustable Grate

The height-adjustable grate is the second defining feature. Argentine cooking relies on controlling temperature by moving the grate closer to or further from the coals, rather than adjusting dampers or fuel flow. A proper Argentine grill lets you move the grate from 2 inches above the coals (for hard searing) to 18-24 inches up (for slow roasting).

The mechanism matters too. Crank-wheel systems (like the Brand-Man, BIG HORN Cart-Style, and GREEN PARTY) offer the most precise control. Cable-and-pulley systems (like the Backyard Discovery) are smooth and reliable but require occasional cable tensioning. Ratchet systems are the cheapest but the least precise.

If you plan to cook both quick seared steaks and long slow-roasted ribs, prioritize a grill with at least 18 inches of vertical adjustment and a smooth crank mechanism.

V-Shaped vs Round-Rod Grates

V-shaped grates are angled grates with a channel running down the middle. Fat and grease run down the channel and drip into a tray below, away from the heat source. This dramatically reduces flare-ups and gives you cleaner flavor on fatty cuts like ribs, chorizo, and morcilla.

Round-rod grates are flat horizontal rods. They sear better for steak because more metal touches the meat, but they channel grease straight down onto the coals, which causes flare-ups. Many Argentine grillers use round-rod grates for bife de chorizo and switch to V-grates for slow cooks and fatty cuts.

The most versatile grills in this roundup ship with both styles: the Brand-Man includes V-grates, wire grates, and a griddle plate, while the Flintex includes four interchangeable cooking surfaces.

Argentine vs Santa Maria vs Gaucho Grills

Argentine grills, Santa Maria grills, and Gaucho grills are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct design lineages. A true Santa Maria grill uses an adjustable-height grate that moves up and down on a crank or pulley system, typically over a single firebox. Santa Maria grills are most associated with the Santa Maria Valley in California, where they were adapted from Argentine parrillas for American tri-tip cooking.

Argentine grills (parrillas) use a brasero side firebox and an adjustable grate, often with V-shaped grates for grease management. They are designed for the slow-roasted asado tradition.

Gaucho grills are a broader category that includes any grill inspired by the Argentine gaucho (cowboy) tradition. They often feature S-hooks for hanging meat vertically, open-fire construction, and rugged steel frames. Some Gaucho grills are basic and portable; others are full outdoor kitchen installations.

In practice, the differences blur. Most Argentine-style grills sold today combine elements of all three traditions. Focus on the brasero, the height-adjustable grate, and the material quality rather than the label.

How to Choose the Right Argentine Grill for Your Needs

Choosing an Argentine grill comes down to six practical decisions: materials, size, fuel, assembly, maintenance, and accessories. Get these right and you will be grilling asado for the next decade.

Materials and Build Quality

304 stainless steel is the gold standard for Argentine grills. It resists rust, handles high heat without warping, and looks professional for years. Powder-coated steel is the budget alternative and works well if you keep the grill covered and do not scratch the coating. Cast iron components (grates, brasero) are durable but require seasoning and rust prevention.

For a long-term investment, prioritize 304 stainless on the firebox and brazier, with powder-coated steel acceptable on the cart and frame. Avoid grills with painted steel components near the fire, as the paint will bubble and discolor within the first season.

Sizing Your Grill

Argentine grills are sized by cooking surface area. Under 500 square inches is fine for couples or small families. 500-700 square inches covers most households of 4-6 people. Over 700 square inches is for serious entertainers who cook for 8+ guests regularly.

Remember that Argentine cooking uses the grate space differently than American grilling. You will typically spread meat out in a single layer rather than stacking, so plan for more square inches than you would on a gas grill.

Fuel Choices: Wood vs Charcoal

Authentic Argentine grilling uses wood that is burned down to embers, then cooked over. Lump charcoal is the modern shortcut and produces excellent results with less fuss. Many grills in this roundup support both: hardwood logs for traditional asado or lump charcoal for weeknight convenience.

Best wood choices for Argentine grilling are hardwoods with mild smoke flavor: quebracho (the traditional choice, though hard to find in the US), oak, hickory, and fruit woods like apple or cherry. Avoid softwoods like pine, which produce bitter smoke and dangerous sap flare-ups.

Charcoal users should look for restaurant-grade lump charcoal without chemical additives. Kingsford briquettes work but add a chemical aftertaste that masks the wood-fire flavor.

Assembly and Setup

Argentine grills are heavy and arrive in large boxes. Plan on 2-4 hours for assembly with a helper, even with good instructions. The Backyard Discovery uses the BILT app for 3D-guided assembly, which is the gold standard. Other brands ship with paper instructions of varying quality.

Pick the grill’s permanent location before assembly. Once built, most Argentine grills weigh 200-400 lbs and are not designed to be moved often. If you need portability, the BIG HORN Portable is the only true portable option in this roundup.

For more setup tips, our guide to the best natural gas grills covers placement and ventilation considerations that also apply to charcoal setups.

Maintenance and Rust Prevention

Rust is the number one enemy of Argentine grills, particularly budget models with powder-coated steel. Prevention is straightforward: cover the grill when not in use, oil the grates after each cook, and store the grill in a dry location or under a covered patio.

For cast iron grates, apply a thin coat of food-grade oil after each cleaning. For porcelain-enameled grates like those on the GREEN PARTY, simply wipe clean and dry. For bare steel grates, scrub with a wire brush, oil lightly, and cover.

If rust appears on the frame, sand it down with 120-grit sandpaper, wipe clean, and apply high-temp grill paint in a well-ventilated area. Touch-up annually to prevent the spread.

Accessories That Matter

Most Argentine grills include basic accessories, but serious asado cooks add a few extras. A coal shovel is essential for moving embers from the brasero to the main firebox. A second grate (V-shape or round-rod) lets you swap surfaces mid-cook. S-hooks hang morcilla, chorizo, and provoleta for vertical grilling.

A waterproof cover extends grill life dramatically. The Backyard Discovery includes one, but most brands do not. A wireless meat thermometer with two probes lets you monitor two cuts simultaneously without lifting the lid. And a chimney starter lights lump charcoal in 15 minutes without lighter fluid.

If you cook for large groups, a rolling cart with storage (like the BIG HORN Cart-Style) keeps your charcoal, wood, and tools organized and within reach.

Argentine Grills vs Other Charcoal Grill Styles

Argentine grills are not the only way to cook over wood and charcoal. Kamado grills (like Big Green Egg) and classic Weber kettles both deliver excellent results with different strengths. Understanding the tradeoffs helps you pick the right tool for your cooking style.

Kamado grills are ceramic cookers that excel at low-and-slow smoking and high-heat searing. They are more versatile across cooking styles but lack the open-fire authenticity of an Argentine parrilla. The ceramic body holds moisture and smoke in a way that produces fall-off-the-bone ribs but does not match the clean wood-fire flavor of asado.

Weber kettles are the classic American charcoal grill. They are affordable, durable, and capable of decent two-zone cooking. They lack the brasero and adjustable grate that define Argentine grilling, but they are a good budget alternative if you cannot justify a dedicated Argentine grill. Our roundup of the best Weber grills covers the top models if you want to explore this route.

For traditional asado with vacio, tira de asado, and morcilla, an Argentine grill is the right tool. For pulled pork, brisket, and American BBQ, a kamado or kettle is a better fit. Many serious cooks own one of each.

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Verdict: Which Argentine-Style Grill Should You Buy in 2026

After 90 days of testing eight Argentine-style grills with real asado cuts, the Backyard Discovery Argentine Santa Maria is the grill I would buy with my own money. It combines authentic features (real brasero, 304 stainless components, 2-to-24-inch grate adjustment) with a 5-year warranty and a price roughly half of comparable premium models. For most home cooks who want the asado experience without breaking the bank, this is the right answer in 2026.

If you are on a tighter budget, the BIG HORN Cart-Style at an entry-level price gives you a real Argentine experience with a smooth crank-wheel height adjustment and V-shaped grates. Treat the handle with care, never store flammable items in the cabinet, and cure the paint before your first cook, and it will serve you well. The BIG HORN Portable is the right pick if you want to take asado camping or to a tailgate.

For premium build quality at a non-premium price, the Brand-Man Santa Maria delivers the largest cooking surface in this roundup with a refractory firebrick-lined firebox that holds heat like a Tagwood. The 4.8 rating across early reviews is consistent with the build quality I observed in testing. Pick this if you entertain large groups regularly.

For a custom outdoor kitchen, the Built-In Santa Maria Stainless Grill drops into your countertop for a permanent installation. The all-stainless body and removable V-grate are the right choices for built-in use. If you want a complete accessory package out of the box, the Flintex ships with four interchangeable grates and asado skewers for the full traditional experience.

And if you want to cook traditional asado a la cruz at least once a year, the Argentine Asado Cross gives you the most authentic Argentine cooking experience you can buy, made in Argentina with 7mm iron construction. Pair it with one of the grilles above for everyday cooking.

Whichever grill you choose, give yourself a weekend to break it in. Cure the paint, season the grates, cook a few simple cuts to learn the grate adjustment, and then invite your friends over. Argentine asado is as much about the gathering as the food, and the right grill turns every weekend into a celebration.
