Asado Primera BBQ – The Banquet
Bring the barbecuing traditions of South America home with our Asado BBQ grills. The Asado Primera BBQ comes with a rotisserie and fully adjustable, wheeled grill so that you can cook hot and low, or high and slow.
South American fire tables are all about a la parrilla grilling – using the embers from your fire to grill and infuse your food with smoky flavour. Load up the fire basket with logs, wait for the embers to drop onto the fire bricks below then draw them across to the grill for cooking.
The Asado Primera BBQ has a wheeled barbecuing grill so that you can lower your searing steaks or raise your slow cooking brisket with the turn of a handle. It is live fire cooking with heat control. A rotisserie is also included which sits between the fire basket and the BBQ grill.
The overhead smoking cage not only looks impressive, but provides more cooking space. The suspended high grill is ideal to hang above the fire basket to keep your corn on the cob warm or to add smoky flavour to your cheeses.
The Asado Primera BBQ comes with a fully height adjustable wheeled grill, fire basket, a rotisserie, log store and smoking cage with additional hanging grill and chain for meat and cheese.
Maintaining your fire pit
NB: All our fire pits, lids and accessories will begin to rust immediately and will not maintain their black finish. However, this will not affect their long-term durability. As all our fire pits are handmade from sheet steel which has naturally occurring blemishes, there may be very slight variations in the forging and finish.

Using your fire pit
- Only use well-seasoned dry wood to reduce smoke. You can also use charcoal (but not house coal).
- Make a fire with plenty of logs and burn for at least ½ hour before you want to use it (the first ½ hour of burning produces the most smoke).
- Ideally, leave an hour before cooking to allow embers to form. You can separate the bigger logs to one side so that you can keep your fire ticking over while you cook over the embers.
- If you’re in a hurry to cook, add charcoal to the fire once it’s going and move the bigger logs to one side.
- Our BBQ Swing Arm and Tripod Racks are not designed to be left over intense flames for long periods. Place these over the embers once you’re ready to cook.
- Our cooking accessories are treated with oil to protect them before use. To remove this, heat the product over the fire before the first use and wash well. After every use, rub over a little cooking oil after washing and drying. If any rust develops, clean off with a wire brush, dry well and rub over with oil.
- After cooking remove the rack, load more logs and enjoy the warmth of the fire.
Looking after your fire pit
Your new fire pit is designed to be low maintenance and can be kept outdoors all year round but a few simple things will help extend its life:
- Your fire pit will develop an even rusty patina. This will not affect its use or longevity but if you like, you can clean it up with a wire brush and then rub over oil such as WD40.
