Bring authentic live-fire cooking to your outdoor kitchen with our handcrafted 54" Uruguayan Grill Kit with Side Brasero, Base Unit #241302. Custom-manufactured in Texas, this heavy-duty grill kit features an open-sided wood-burning brasero with our signature California bear-and-star cutouts on the front plaque.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the adjustable grate work?
The main grate connects to a side lever with a stainless steel coil-spring grip. Raising or lowering the lever changes the grate angle, positioning food closer to or farther from the embers.
Can charcoal be burned in the brasero?
The brasero is designed for burning hardwood logs into embers. When cooking with charcoal, place the charcoal directly beneath the cooking grates.
What is the purpose of the two-part grate?
The adjustable main grate lets you change the distance between the food and the embers. The fixed grate section provides additional level cooking space. The heat beneath each section depends on how the embers or charcoal are distributed.
