An asado is not a meal you cook and serve; it is an afternoon you host. The fire gets lit at noon. Friends arrive with wine. Someone tends the embers, someone slices chorizo off the hook, and the cook is never alone at the grill because the grill is where everyone wants to stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTagwood BBQ03SI\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for that. It has no lid to close and walk away from. The fire is visible, the grate is at eye level, and the crank wheel is an invitation for whoever is standing closest. It turns cooking dinner into the reason people came over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow You Cook On It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart the fire in the \u003cstrong\u003ebrasero\u003c\/strong\u003e, the firebrick-lined box on the right. A few splits of quebracho, oak, or hickory, or a chimney of lump charcoal. In twenty minutes you have a bed of glowing embers with no flame. Shovel them under the \u003cstrong\u003emain grate\u003c\/strong\u003e and spread them: a thick bed on the left for searing, a thin scatter on the right for finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow the \u003cstrong\u003ecrank wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e. Drop the grate to two inches above the coals and lay a picanha fat-side down; the round-bar grate lets the fat roll off toward the drain instead of pooling and flaring. Raise it to eight inches and put a rack of short ribs on to render slowly in radiant heat for two hours. The height is the thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the ribs go, the \u003cstrong\u003esecondary grate\u003c\/strong\u003e sits directly over the brasero, the hottest spot on the grill. That's where provoleta goes to blister, where bread gets char, where a chorizo gets its snap. Swap the round grate for the \u003cstrong\u003egriddle\u003c\/strong\u003e and you have a plancha for vegetables, shrimp, or eggs the next morning. Hang a whole chicken or a string of sausages from the \u003cstrong\u003eS-hooks\u003c\/strong\u003e and let the rising heat do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt Like A Tank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BBQ03SI's body is \u003cstrong\u003e1\/8-inch cold-rolled steel\u003c\/strong\u003e in a heat-resistant black finish, the traditional look of a working Argentine parrilla. Every surface that touches food, the grates, griddle, hooks, shovel, and rake, is \u003cstrong\u003e304 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e. The firebox is lined with \u003cstrong\u003erefractory firebrick\u003c\/strong\u003e on the base and side wall, storing heat like a pizza oven and shielding the steel from direct flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 400 pounds it is the heaviest grill in its class. Like any painted-steel grill, the body will develop patina and surface oxidation over time, especially around the firebox. That's the nature of the material, not a defect, and many owners prefer the look. A light sanding and a coat of high-temperature paint once a season keeps it sharp.
