My new Argentine grill arrived yesterday!

I understand that one is required to be retired so as to be able to have the time to cook a meal on it!

I´m 47 so retirement is not around the corner.
One just needs to make time, like running a stickburner.
Yeah, I don´t see myself firing this up much on weekdays (unless this working from home continues) but it´ll be great fun to use during the weekends/time-off etc.

That's a mighty fine cooker, and terrific plating.

I'm looking forward to seeing more!

you magnificent bastard. That IMO is the best design for an Argentine aside from a full built in style with hood etc. The wind guards are exactly what I would need given being in the Midwest USA. If that model were available in the US, id be buying it.

That looks awesome! Ever since I saw these on a trip to Argentina, I have wanted one, but I just dont have the extra room at home:sad::sad:

Since these grills are meant to do a slower cook, how long does it take you to cook burgers? Steaks?

We need lots and lots of pictures when you cook on it! Looks great and I can't wait to see more.

Love that! And that burn down section on the side - very, very farkin cool (well hot...). The only thing I want right now is something similar to that - Argentinian, Santa Maria, etc.

Based on what I've seen before I know we'll be seeing some excellent eats coming off of that thing & I am here for it! :hungry:

The beauty about these things is that they can do both slow and fast because you can move the grates up and down. Those V-shape grates get REALLY hot when you keep them close to the coals. I wasn´t paying attention on the time, I wanted to run it for a couple of hours so the paint could set and made use of the last heat for the burgers. They only needed a short time.

Thanks, 1st real cook done this past weekend!

Thanks!
The brasero is the icing on the cake, I think it makes things a lot easier because you´re never running fire under the grates, just smouldering coals.
