If you’re new to Asado grilling, one of the first questions you may ask is: how long does it take to cook on an Asado grill? The answer depends on the type of food, the size of the cut, and the heat you use. Flamery Asado grills are designed to give you flexible temperature control, allowing you to cook quickly over high flames or slowly over embers.
Quick Cooking Over High Heat
Thanks to the height-adjustable V-groove grill and efficient firebox, Flamery Asado grills can reach high temperatures quickly. This makes searing steaks, burgers, chicken, and seafood a fast process.
Steaks and burgers: 5–10 minutes
Chicken breasts or skewers: 10–15 minutes
Fish and vegetables: 5–10 minutes
By adjusting the grill height above the embers, you can fine-tune the cooking speed and achieve perfect sear marks and smoky flavour without overcooking.
Slow Cooking for Larger Cuts
For larger cuts of meat, like whole lamb, brisket, or ribs, Asado grilling excels at slow, even cooking over embers. This allows the meat to stay juicy and tender while developing a rich, smoky crust.
Whole lamb: 2–3 hours
Brisket or ribs: 1.5–3 hours
Slow cooking over embers also allows you to infuse wood-fired flavours using your favourite hardwoods such as oak, beech, or cherry, creating a depth of taste that conventional grills cannot match.
Tips for Perfect Timing
Preheat the grill: Let the fire establish steady embers before cooking for consistent results.
Use the height-adjustable grill: Raise or lower the grill to control cooking intensity.
Keep a thermometer handy: For large cuts, monitor internal temperature to avoid overcooking.
Choose the right fuel: Hardwoods like oak, apple, or cherry give longer, more stable heat, while softwoods are better for quick, smoky flavour bursts.
Conclusion
The Flamery Asado grill offers versatility and precision for all types of outdoor cooking. Whether you’re searing a steak in minutes or slow-roasting a whole lamb over hours, you can tailor the fire and grill height to suit any dish. With practice, you’ll be able to perfect your timing and consistently achieve restaurant-quality results at home, however, for greater precision, use an ETI thermometer.
