Asado cooking is an art of patience and precision. With a Flamery Asado Grill, you are not only grilling, you are mastering heat and timing. The way you build your fire, manage embers and pace each dish decides whether your cookout is good or unforgettable. Learning these skills transforms simple ingredients into a true asado feast.
🔥 Building the Fire with Confidence
Start with seasoned hardwood such as oak or beech. Light the logs and allow them to burn until glowing embers form. These embers are the heart of authentic asado, delivering steady heat and rich smoky flavour.
🌡️ Creating Heat Zones
The best cooks use more than one temperature.
Direct heat for quick searing of steaks or prawns
Indirect heat for slow roasting lamb shoulders or ribs
A resting zone to keep food warm without overcooking
The most memorable dishes often use both approaches. Start low and slow to cook through, then finish with a short sear for crust and colour.
Recipe idea: Pork belly cooked gently for hours over embers, then seared over flame until the skin is perfectly crisp.
🥘 A Complete Meal with Smart Timing
Plan your menu so dishes arrive in waves. Start with flatbreads and chorizo while mains slow cook. Bring sides such as corn, peppers and aubergines to the grill as the meat nears readiness. Finish with pineapple or brownies baked in a skillet while guests relax with another drink.
Heat and timing are what separate a good cook from a true master. With a Flamery grill, you can control every stage from fire to feast, creating meals that impress and evenings that live long in memory.
