Hi, I have built an asador style bbq. I deliberately did not include a grid for coals, or any venting, as this is generally not used in videos I see from Spain/Argentina. I don't burn wood, but good quality charcoal. However, my coals do not burn happily and will readiliy go out. Any ideas as to what I could do to improve the burn? In Argentina, they appear to have no difficulty having embers/coals direct on the fire bricks.

Old fashioned Quarry floor tiles are cheap. Does anyone think these would be suitable? https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/22726/s/quarry-red-tiles-plain-smooth-quarry-tiles/category/14814/

Yes. I may well do that for the back and sides, but would like something tile-like on the base.

Hi, I need to line an asador-style bbq with fire bricks. Total area is approx 2.6 sq. metres. Normal firebricks come up quite expensive - does anyone have a suggestion for a cheaper alternative?

Hi, I am building an "Asador" style brick bbq. This gives me a fire shelf of approx 1100 x 700mm, lined with fire bricks. I want to have an adjustable (liftable) grill of approx 900mm x 500mm. I don't want to buy an argentinian style guacho grill, as that means I can only use space for only one thing. Does anyone have any clever Ideas for adjusting a large grill that does not have fixings on both sides? (My grill is less wide than my bbq fire shelf. I have thought of attaching cables/chains to grill and having a winch, but I think the grill would wobble about (the argentinian ones have vertical guides each side). Any thoughts appreciated PS: Is this the right forum for "non_smoker" questions?
