I'm building a brick barbecue and as one does I went looking on Google and realised that I could happily spend an absolute fortune. Then reality came back into the equation and I found this:

Raise and lower the grill, space for a rotisserie and half the cost of other stuff.

Has anyone got one of these or similar? Are they good or should I be saving for a more expensive one?

Funny you should mention this, I literally got delivery of my Asado grill very recently. Yet to cook on it, but it is very well made and nowhere near as cheap as the one you have tagged. I actually had this custom made to fit within the brick area, so not off the shelf.

Happy to provide you more details.

That looks absolutely beautiful. I'd love to hear more about it, though presume it will be very expensive!

Thank you. I am super pleased with it and can't wait to get cooking. The owner delivered it to me, coming some 200+ miles to help set it up. I did a fair amount of research into these before I got mine and because I had a specific space (I did not build the BBQ area originally) I contacted Peter at Wildpyre through recommendations for something custom.

A really nice, well made stainless steel Asado will cost you north of £1k+ Seems to be plenty on the market below that, however not sure of the quality. Some of these smaller UK companies design and make them with some great accessories. It just feels super sturdy and the mechanism for lowering the grill feels great..

I got mine from https://www.wildpyre.co.uk/ other decent makers are Somerset Grills who super helpful when making enquiries.

That is absolutely stunning! Thanks for the pics. More than I can really justify at the moment but an inspiration.

I'm told these people build all sorts of BBQs, the only one I've seen was based on an oil drum, had a nifty rise and fall mechanism, claim to make what you want.
