(Lump or briquettes)&nbsp; An added bonus to look for is a type of shuttle plate that closes off the inside of the box to hold your charcoal in place while it burns.&nbsp; When ready, open the shuttle and your embers drop out.&nbsp; For wood you just lay it right in the box and let the coals fall through the slats.&nbsp; See video here for example: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaucho-grills.com\/grill-features\">https:\/\/www.gaucho-grills.com\/grill-features<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\">\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"> The brasero can create another grill surface or a shelf to keep things warm with an optional Brasero-Top Grate.&nbsp; (When you are not in full blown fire mode.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">How a brasero works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\"><strong>Things to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Cost.&nbsp; Adding the brasero adds to the cost of the grill.&nbsp; It can be an elaborate component to fabricate. &nbsp;It should be robustly built, and it should bring more to the table than a simple fire log holder.<\/p>\n<p data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\">\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Space \u2013 You are adding about 12\u201d of real estate to have the brasero.&nbsp; If space is limited some people opt to have a larger grill area and skip the brasero.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\">For a quick synapsis, we recommend the following:<\/p>\n<ol data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">If the budget or space is tight\u2026 pass on the brasero.<\/p>\n<p data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\">\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">If your typical grilling is 1 round, like for dinner at a set time\u2026 pass on the brasero.&nbsp; Just lift your grill plates up, start your fire underneath the grill area and you\u2019ll be good to go.<\/p>\n<p data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\">\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"> If you like to grill or entertain asado style, where you fire up the grill and grill multiple rounds, or grill for several hours at a time, try and get the brasero.&nbsp; It is a tremendous convenience feature to have fuel constantly being prepared while you continue to grill.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To brasero or not to brasero?&nbsp; We get that question a lot. &nbsp;The brasero is the side fire box that is attached to your typical Argentine style grill.&nbsp; It can be configured for right or left hand side, while some grills may even have a rear option.
