Brasero Firebox — Tromen Argentine Charcoal & Wood Fire Box for Parrilla Grills

The Tromen Brasero: How Argentine Asadores Actually Cook A brasero is the heart of a real Argentine asado. You never cook directly over flames — you burn wood or charcoal in the brasero, wait for it to break down into glowing embers, then shovel those embers under your parrilla exactly where you need them. That is how you get even heat, no flare-ups, and the slow smoky flavour that defines Argentine grilling. This Argentine charcoal and wood fire box is built by Tromen, Argentina's leading grill maker since 1960, and imported factory-direct by Cholys as an authorized dealer. Why You Need a Brasero Real fire management: Burn hardwood or charcoal separately, then feed embers to the cooking surface at your own pace — the technique every Argentine asador uses. No flare-ups: Fat drips onto embers, not open flame, so your meat never scorches. Works with any parrilla: Use it alongside a Tromen grill, an asado cross, a plow disc, or your existing setup. Heavy-gauge steel: Built to take direct fire season after season without warping. Made in Argentina: Precision-built where asado is a way of life, not a trend. Specifications Height: 10.5" Width: 19" Depth: 10" Material: High-quality steel Fuel: Firewood, charcoal, or both Pairs Perfectly With Argentine quebracho colorado firewood and white quebracho charcoal, both imported from Argentina and available at Cholys. Quebracho burns hotter and longer than any domestic hardwood, which is exactly what a brasero is built for. Frequently Asked Questions What is a brasero used for? It burns wood or charcoal down to embers, which you then move under your grill grate. It separates fire-making from cooking, giving you full control over heat. Can I use it with a grill I already own? Yes. The brasero is a standalone fire box; it works next to any parrilla, Santa Maria grill, or cross. Wood or charcoal? Both. Hardwood gives more smoke and flavor; charcoal lights faster and burns steadier. Most asadores use a mix. Is this authentic Tromen? Yes. Cholys is an authorized Tromen dealer importing directly from the factory in Argentina, with a full manufacturer's warranty. Questions?
