Parrilla Argentina Brasero Product Review: Taking Parrilla Cooking to the Next Level
Author: Sasha Halabi Date Posted:24 February 2026
When you first step into the world of Parrilla cooking, it’s all about fire, flavour, and simplicity. Once you’ve mastered the basics, there comes a time when you want more control, longer burns, and the ability to fine-tune your fire mid-cook. That’s exactly where the Flaming Coals Parrilla Argentina Grill with Brasero comes into play.
It’s built on the backbone of our much-loved Parrilla 885SR, but with some important upgrades that make this model ideal for more advanced fire cooks, especially those chasing the traditional asado experience.
What Makes This Parrilla Different?
If you're already familiar with our stainless steel Parrilla grills, you’ll recognise a lot of similarities here: solid construction, firebrick-lined firebox, adjustable grill height, and generous cooking space. However, this version introduces one key feature that takes it to the next level: the brasero.

A brasero is a dedicated side firebox that allows you to burn timber or charcoal separately from your main grill area. Once your fuel has broken down into glowing embers, you simply shovel the coals across to go under the cooking grate. It’s a more traditional Argentinian approach, and it offers a serious boost in flexibility.
Instead of managing one big fire directly under your food, you can keep a live fire going off to the side and feed coals in gradually. That means:
- More consistent heat across long cooks
- Less risk of flare-ups or hot spots
- And better control over the pace and intensity of your fire
It’s not a necessary feature for all Parrilla cooks, but for those who want more control, especially for longer roasts or entertaining a crowd, it opens up a new level of versatility.
Built for Serious Fire Cooks
Like all Flaming Coals Parrilla grills, this one is built to take the heat. The firebox is lined with firebricks to retain and radiate heat more evenly, and the full frame is constructed from durable stainless steel to handle years of exposure to charcoal, flames, and weather.
The cooking grate is fully adjustable, rising and lowering via a heavy-duty winch and heavy-duty cable, so you can control the distance from the coals without moving the food itself. That kind of precision is ideal for managing thick steaks, slow-cooked ribs, or large roasts.
The parrilla has a fold-down front door, which makes feeding timber and managing airflow a much smoother process. If you’ve used fire cages or makeshift setups before, you’ll appreciate how much easier this makes your cook.

A Familiar Layout, With More Room to Move
The overall layout feels familiar if you’ve used our Parrilla 885SR. You’ve got the same V-channel grates that direct drippings into a front tray (a must-have for avoiding flare-ups), and you still get that signature Flaming Coals construction quality.
But this model gives you a larger firebox, more working space, and a wider area for your Parrilla to be the main attraction.
With the addition of removable stainless steel side shelves and a mobile trolley base with locking casters, it’s both practical and portable, even for a unit this size.
Who This Parrilla Is Perfect For
This isn’t just for seasoned fire cooks-it’s for anyone who wants the most traditional and hands-on Parrilla experience. Whether you're brand new to Parrilla cooking or already using another style of Parrilla, this model gives you the ability to burn wood in the brasero and manage coals like a true asador.
Maybe you’ve been drawn to the visual impact of feeding embers across the grill, or you’re simply after a BBQ that turns heads and delivers consistent results. Whatever your experience level, this Parrilla makes it easy to enjoy slow, flavour-packed cooking and brings a new level of involvement and control to your fire.

Final Thoughts
The Flaming Coals Parrilla Argentina Grill with Brasero isn’t a replacement for our existing Parrilla range, it’s a step up for those who want to dive deeper into the tradition and technique of fire cooking.
With more fire control, a dedicated brasero, and premium construction throughout, it’s the ideal choice for experienced Parrilla users, charcoal purists, or anyone who wants to entertain with serious style and substance.
