Heritage Backyard Armado Grill and Griddle

The Armado is designed for use with wood or charcoal. It is built to handle the high heat and open-flame cooking techniques inspired by Francis Mallmann, so traditional lump charcoal or seasoned firewood are both excellent choices.

It is designed to be collapsible, making it much more manageable than a standard backyard grill. The legs screw off and the unit breaks down, so you can transport it to a beach or park, though it is substantial enough that you will want to ensure you have space in your vehicle.

Yes, the split design is the defining feature of the Armado. You can sear steaks or vegetables on the grill grate while simultaneously cooking eggs, pancakes, or delicate items on the solid griddle surface.

It includes the primary grill and griddle components, the firebox container, the base, and the screw-on legs. You will just need to provide your own fuel and cooking utensils.

The total cooking surface measures 36 inches by 24 inches. This is quite spacious for a portable unit, providing plenty of room to cook for a large group or manage multiple ingredients at once.

The Armado is crafted from steel, which is durable and built to last. However, like any steel outdoor cooking equipment, it is best to keep it covered or stored in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and maintain the integrity of the metal.
