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. |
