Northfork Ironworks Parrilla Grill

While you can use various hardwoods, we recommend using seasoned hardwoods like oak, hickory, or mesquite to achieve the best flavor profile and consistent heat. Avoid using softwoods like pine or cedar, as they contain resins that can impart an unpleasant taste to your food.

The grill features a manual crank system that allows you to raise or lower the grate relative to the fire. This gives you precise control over the heat intensity, letting you sear meats close to the flames or slow-roast items further away.

The unit is built with heavy-duty construction, so it is substantial in weight. While it is a freestanding cart design, it is best suited for a permanent or semi-permanent spot in your outdoor kitchen rather than frequent relocation.

This surface area is quite generous, comfortably accommodating enough food for large gatherings. You can easily fit multiple large cuts of meat, such as whole chickens or large roasts, alongside vegetables, making it ideal for hosting groups.

Like any high-quality iron grill, you should keep the grates seasoned with a light coat of oil after each use to prevent rust. After the grill has cooled, clear out the ash from the firebox to ensure proper airflow for your next cook.
