Also brought to mind a joke told by the father of my brother's Argentinean friend; the joke, translated from Spanish, went like this: "We're about to have a parilla. We have 7 kilos of meat, 20 litres of wine and two loaves of bread. Do you think we've got too much bread?" Hope you enjoy many future asado meals - slathered in chimichuro!

These look very similar to what is found on La Vaca Tuerta's website, although they are a bit heavier. Most importantly, they come in a box. I can ship the small one across the entire country for about $80 and the large one ships across the entire country for about $145 via UPS. I will be investigating other shipment methods, Fed-Ex Ground and the US Postal Service. I am also starting a forum on Argentine Grilling using vBulletin. Contact me at gary@norcalovenworks.com. I will need moderators who are experts in Argentine Grilling. Well, I have finally succeeded in importing Argentine Style Parrillas, or Asadores to the States.

However, the best asados are made on parrillas built with round 1/3 of an inch diameter irons. Certainly in this type of parrillas the fat will drip and, ocasionally, burst in flames, but the meat will never absorb fat as in the V section ones. Restaurants usually have V section parrillas, while the old fashioned countrymen uses the other one.
