Argie Grillz.
Authentic Argentine BBQ at Our Sydney Showroom.

A parrilla is an Argentine open-top charcoal grill with an adjustable-height grate and V-shaped grill bars. The cook controls heat by raising or lowering the grate above the coal bed rather than by adjusting airflow or fuel.

Compared to a kettle BBQ or kamado, a parrilla is hands-on rather than set-and-forget. The asado tradition treats the cook as a social event with the asador (the person cooking) actively managing the fire throughout. A parrilla is the right choice if you want the cook itself to be part of the gathering, and the wrong choice if you want to set a temperature and walk away.

Three reasons. First, the wood: Argie Grillz is made from Quebracho Blanco, a dense hardwood native to northern Argentina that produces one of the longest, cleanest burns of any commercial lump charcoal. Second, the burn duration: a single bag burns 4-6 hours on low and slow cooks, which is exceptional for natural lump. Third, the ash production is very low, which means less cleaning between cooks and less chance of choked airflow.

Buyers come for the price-to-performance ratio and reorder for the consistency. It is what we recommend first when someone is starting on a kamado or stepping up from briquettes.

Yes. Argie Grillz Argentine Lump Charcoal is standard natural hardwood lump charcoal, compatible with every kamado brand (Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Primo, Vision), every kettle BBQ (Weber, ProQ), and every offset or charcoal smoker.

The piece size is medium-to-large, which works well in kamados that prefer denser, slower-burning charcoal. If your kamado manufacturer recommends "natural lump charcoal" without specifying a brand, Argie Grillz is exactly what they mean. We use it ourselves on Big Green Egg and Yoder when we are cooking with charcoal.

The charcoal is for anyone cooking on charcoal or in a kamado, full stop. It works across every format and is our most-recommended charcoal across all buyer types.

The parrilla grill is for a more specific buyer. The Gaucho Series is the right pick if you enjoy the cooking process as much as the eating, value live-fire over set-and-forget, and cook for groups regularly. It is not the right pick if you want push-button convenience, primarily cook brisket-and-walk-away, or have very limited outdoor space. If you are not sure which side of that line you sit on, call us and we will help work it out.

A single 15kg bag of Argie Grillz Argentine Lump typically lasts 4-6 hours on a low-and-slow cook at 110-130°C, or 2-3 hours at high heat for grilling and searing. Actual burn time depends on your cooker, ambient temperature, vent settings, and how often you open the lid.

For comparison, most natural lump charcoals in our range burn 2-4 hours on low-and-slow. The extended duration is what justifies the premium and why this charcoal is our bestseller for long cooks like brisket and pork shoulder.
