Something wicked (cool) this way comes.

@Tucker I read somewhere that Argentine grill grates are v-shaped so that the meat fat does not drip on the coals.  Guess that is a no-no in this type of cooking.  Curious as to where the v- shaped grates drain the fat.   They appear to project over the grill in the front and the back.  Thanks!

If you are a fan of paella these grills work really well for that. With the ability to move coals around and change the grate height it's really easy to regulate the heat going to the bottom of the paella pan. I've done it a few times and at this point it's the only grill I'll use for paella.

the grills are angled forward, there is a v-trough running right to left with a drain out of the left side of the grill.

In the second picture, with the front door open, you can see the v-shaped catcher inside the grill and the drain valve on the side.

I just need to hand a small metal bucket / paint can on the drain valve when needed.

CKreef - thanks for the tip re: paella.

Hello Tucker,

Love your latest adventure and it looks like a lot of fun

Is there a particular reason you choose this brand vs others ?

@TomRaz

I chose this one because of the options offered. upgrades for grills, flat top, cover. and the guy who owns the business and makes them is a vet.

Also - as a feature - if, in the future, I wanted to have a lid, this model can have a lid added and it will be a Scottsdale model.

Steve Raichlen used that grill for a whole beef shoulder clod, I believe the maker was Kalamazoo. Anyhow that does look like it will keep you busy and certainly up your game. Tear it up and get some nice gloves for protection

First cook using the flat top

Sausage, peppers and onions like we used to get at the Jersey shore.

Did not get a pic of the sausages split lengthwise and finished.

But, wow, what a time travel to flavor.

Turned out great, had a roasted beet-goat cheese salad with it.
