Announcing our new line of Brazilian Churrasco Rotisserie Grills!

We are updating our line of Brazilian Churrasco Rotisserie Grills to models more in keeping with authentic Brazilian Churrasco, meaning that our new line of rotisserie grills will have a larger space between skewers, and skewer design and caapacites more closely aligned with Brazilian churrasco. In addition, our new design features an adjustable skewer blade length of between 17.7 and 23.6 inches, which is closely alligned with grill sizes in America.

Francis Mallman Inspired Armado

In Tierra De Fuegos and Mallman on Fire, Francis Mallman is seen using what he calls an Armado. Basically, it is a firebox base,firebox basket/ember guard, chapa, and grill. Francis Mallman had his made round. After looking at his for a couple of years, I decided that we should make one. Ours is square, but functionally identical.

First, an 18"X18" base, on 18" screw on legs.

Next, add an open basket to keep embers en, and the chapa or gill above the fire.

Here we have a chapa on top of the open basket. Anybody want pancakes, bacon, and eggs? How about some fried potatoes?

I suppose we could have continued with the griddle, but forget the bacon, let's change the menu to steak and eggs, or sausages and eggs. All on a NorCal Ovenworks Armado.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr!
I'm afraid that this particular customer needed to add a bit more wood to the brasero of his Argentine Grill kit, but it's too late now. I remember that nasty white stuff, I caught an edge on my skis once, and ended up sliding headfirst, on my back, down a mountain. The sliding wasn't too bad, but the snow getting jammed down the open collar of my snow suit made me yell! I needed a mug of beer to recover.

Gaucho Grill in Blacksburg, VA

One of the most enjoyable parts of my job as NorCal Ovenworks Grill Engineer is meeting new friends, and working with them to achieve their individual dream. Francisco "Kiko" Azevado is the proprietor of the upcoming Gaucho Grill, in Blacksburg, VA. He asked for a multi-purpose grill that he could use for meats, vegetables, and also skewered items. The design is mostly his, as to function, we provided the manufacturing expertise.

The Brasero, or Ember Maker is the heart of Argentine cooking.

That box, the brasero, is the heart of the grill. The whole secret to Latin American cooking is cooking over embers. It really is that simple.
