Parrillas
& Ember Grills

Open fire, firebrick and a handwheel. No lid, no thermostat, no electronics — you control the heat by moving the meat, which is how it was done for two hundred years before anyone invented a dial. Want a lid and all-weather roasting instead? See the ovens.

The Collier Parrilla

Burn hardwood down to embers in an open firebrick hearth, rake them where you want them, and wind two independent grate sections up and down over the top with a handwheel. Hang the big cuts from the rail above. No lid, no thermostat, no dials — heat is controlled by distance and by where you put the fire.

Why start here

The cheapest honest
way into live fire

£1,795. Less than half the price of our smallest oven, and a genuinely serious piece of kit.
Food-grade 304 stainless. Frame, grate and cable. It will not rust and it does not need painting.
Open firebrick hearth. Refractory lining on three sides and the floor, open at the front so you can feed and rake without reaching over the food.
Two independent grates. Sear on one side, hold on the other, cook everything at once.
Hanging rail above. Seven hooks for ribs, racks and chorizo — cooking in the rising heat while the grate runs underneath.

An oven is a machine for cooking. A parrilla is a reason for everyone to come outside and stand near you while you do it. They are not the same purchase. — How we'd put it if you asked
