The way that you made the fire-brick-containment is outstanding. Most builders weld strips to retain the vertical fire-bricks.

Great job Hank. I am also a fan of ESAB welders as I own a Rebel which can do TIG, MIG, and Stick in one unit, and a Sentinel helmet. Florence, South Carolina used to be the US headquarters for ESAB before being bought by Victor. Good looking grill. Darlington, South Carolina USA

I always have respect for anyone who takes initiative to build things themselves instead of buying ready made. Great work 👏🏾

Hello Frank from argentina, just like to tell you that you did a gratis job, but id you dont mind me giving you a couple of tipos on how argentinians build their grill. First we normaly use on the grill part two tipes of metals, is either angle iron facing up on a V shape welded to an angle iron frame with a slight tilt to the front of the grill with open end of the V shape angle iron extending about an inch out from the frame, then you place two angle iron together forming a U channel at the end with a tilt to one side that will drain the fat and juice into a hanging can on the end, that's one way. The second way and best way is using rebar not only for the log burning area, but also the grill at about 1 centimeter apart from each other, the expandable metal is used on the grill about a third of the grill and on the opposite side of the fire box, it is used to cook small pieces of meat that we eat in an asado, like inner parts of the animal, to include burgers and hot dogs tha we never eat on an asado lol. The fire box is also made with rebar and they are spaced about 3 to 4 inches apart in order for the coals to fall underneath in small pieces and you need a fire wall between the burn box an grill to hold the heat in the box and the heat on the grill is even all around the grill. Always place the wall bricks first then the floor that way it locks the uprights in place at the bottom and the top you guessed it rebar a couple of inches below the top end of the brick, that way if you need to replace a brick you simply slide it up. Finally to cook a good asado or poultry you know when you have the right temp on the grill is with your hand open palm dawn hold it about 3 inches from the grill and you should be able to hold it 10 seconds without out burning yourself and run it all around the cooking area or above the food 10 seconds is important if you hold it longer you need more heat in that area, if you hold it less is to much heat take same coals out and put them back in the fire box. Now you are argentinians griller lol if you have any questions let me know. Gus

Excellent job well done

Nice Hank. I found this video after a successful BBQ with friends, wherein I used a very simple metal disc in which to make fire, 90 per cent hardwood / 10 per cent charcoal, and repurposed some grill grates from my broken gas grill, in order to make a grilling platform. The whole experience made me wonder: can't I just make a parilla? I don't have your resources or your tools, but I am inspired nonetheless by your video, to know that, with enough research, learning, and trial-and-error, i can make a great parilla. Thanks for the insipiration.

You should def. build one :-) It's good fun, was relatively cheap to build, and I use it regularly. Mostly on weekends when I have more time to manage the fire. I wouldn't change anything really, perhaps let the side walls extend a little higher for better wind protection. The most expensive material was the fire proof bricks.

@HanksTrueBBQ

M Jones Hi, and thanks! I’m real happy with the construction. The grill grate is 7 inches above the bricks, and that is just right. If I want less heat I just move the meat sideways. As for the brasero/wood, it’s 4.5-5 inches, but that distance is less sensitive. Just make sure you get a shovel in there to move the coals. Would be very annoying if you can’t move the small shovel around freely 😄 Good luck with your Parrilla!

I forget to tell you the difference in the angle iron grill it takes a lot of the juices and fat away. The rebar type the juices fall on the coals and gives it a better taste to the meat. NO FLAMES, put them out by moving the coals around or just remove it to the fire box, NEVER USE WATER, it brings the temp down, if you see a flame grab the small shovel from your fire place and always have that at hand you can use it to remove coals from the box, spread coals, remove coals everything with the little shovel
