Double Parrilla Grill Built in BBQ

 

If you already have a charcoal BBQ, firepit, or built-in outdoor kitchen, you are closer to authentic Argentine style cooking than you might think. What most fixed fire setups lack is proper control. Without adjustable grill height, managing heat becomes guesswork, especially when cooking different foods at the same time.

The Outdoor Central Double Parrilla Grill for Built In BBQ solves that problem. It is a heavy-duty twin Parrilla insert designed to sit inside or over an existing firepit or charcoal bay, instantly giving you full height control and real Asado versatility without the need for a full freestanding unit.

What This Product Is

The Double Parrilla Grill is a DIY drop-in or sit-on-top insert that converts an existing fire cooking area into a professional Parrilla setup.

Key idea:
You keep your current firepit or charcoal BBQ and upgrade the cooking control.

  • Twin adjustable Parrilla grills
  • Independent height control on each side
  • Designed to sit over an existing fire source

This makes it ideal for custom outdoor kitchens, brick firepits, and built-in BBQ bays.

Who This Parrilla Insert Is Best For

This product suits cooks who already have a fire cooking base and want to level it up.

It is ideal if you:

  • Own a firepit, brick BBQ, or charcoal bay
  • Want authentic Asado-style cooking
  • Do not want a full freestanding Parrilla
  • Need more control than a fixed grill provides

If it fits, this insert delivers serious capability without a full rebuild.

Independent Heat Control Is The Game Changer

The standout feature is the dual crank system.

Each grill is adjusted separately, which means you can run different heat zones at the same time.

In real use, this allows you to:

  • Sear steaks low over the fire
  • Cook sausages or vegetables higher and slower
  • Hold food warm while finishing other cuts
  • Manage flare-ups without moving food off the grill

Once you cook this way, it is hard to go back to fixed grills.

V Grill Design For Cleaner Cooking

The stainless steel V-shaped grills slope forward to direct fat into removable catch trays.

This design:

  • Reduces flare-ups
  • Keeps the fire cleaner
  • Improves flavour on fatty cuts
  • Makes longer cooks easier to manage

It is a classic Parrilla feature for good reason and works exceptionally well with timber, charcoal, or briquettes.

Cooking Space & Layout

This is a large insert designed for serious cooks.

  • Two grill sections approximately 350 mm × 550 mm each
  • Plenty of room for multiple proteins and sides
  • Ideal for true Asado-style multi-zone cooking

The overall dimensions are 1312 mm wide × 442 mm deep × 760 mm high, so measuring your cavity or firepit before purchase is essential.

If this insert is too large for your setup, we offer smaller, more vertical Argentinian grill options. Checkout the Argentine Parrilla Asado Grill With Spit Rotisserie Kit Option for a ready made setup, taking up less space. 

Build Quality And Materials

This Parrilla insert is built primarily from stainless steel, with powder-coated crank wheels and a practical locking handle.

That means:

  • Strong heat resistance
  • Easier cleaning
  • Better durability outdoors
  • A clean, professional look in custom kitchens

It is built for frequent fire cooking, occasional use, and anything in between. You get as much out of it as you put into it. 

Installation And Setup

This unit is designed as a drop-in or sit-on-top solution.

Common setups include:

  • Brick firepits
  • Concrete charcoal bays
  • Custom outdoor kitchens
  • Existing BBQ cavities with removable grills

Most installations involve removing an old fixed grill and replacing it with this adjustable Parrilla insert.

What We Like Most

The biggest advantage is how much control you gain without changing your entire setup.

You get:

  • True Parrilla height adjustment
  • Two independent cooking zones
  • Authentic Asado V grills
  • Serious cooking space

All without investing in a full freestanding Parrilla.
