Does anyone know where I can get the parts to get a parrilla made? I say get rather than make because I'm a knucklehead when it come to making stuff.
I particularly want the winding mechanism but a whole kit (Parrilla-in-a-box) would be great. Something like this is what I'm thinking

Re: Parrilla parts
Gday Kevin,
Yes I had found that one. Funnily enough I follwoed the link on teh page to "How to build an Argentinian Grill" . It reminded me of the sketch on (possibly Monty Python) on how to carve a lion. First get a piece of wood. Carve away the bits that don't look like a lion. There you have it.
I was more looking for the bits. I figure I could get the grill surface made by a mate with a welder and some 25x25 angle, the rest looks a bit hard.
Chef Drum Adjustable Charcoal Grill http://www.joesbbqs.com.au/chef-drum-ad ... -1431.html sort of does the job in that it's cheap and adjustable but misses the mark a little.
How to Build an Argentinian Grill

Grilling is a great way to have fun outside
Grilling outside is a great way to celebrate a holiday or get together with friends and family. Most grills only heat meat directly, either from a charcoal or propane flame. An Argentinean grill produces an ovenlike effect. Such a grill allows the user to experiment with slow-cooking and smoking techniques. Does this Spark an idea?

Location
An Argentinean grill is a large, heavy structure. Since it can't be easily moved, construct the grill in its final location. Pick a spot that far enough from the house to be fire safe, but close enough for ease when bringing food back and forth. Pick a spot that accommodates a large, brick structure without obstructing foot traffic.
Grill
The term “Argentinean grill” refers mostly to the brick structure around the grill that changes the way it is used. A regular grill can be converted to an Argentinean-style grill. Alternatively, it is easy to make a basic grill by mounting a metal rack over a metal tray stoked with hot coals.
Measure and mark the grill area’s site. Build the grill on top of a concrete slab, so that the heavy structure won't sink into the ground. Lay bricks in a three-sided, rectangular shape, creating a space that large enough for housing a grill. Build a metal tray and rack into the brick structure, or build the structure around an existing grill. Make it a tight fit. The brick structure holds in the grill’s heat.
Ornamentation and Additions
Make an Argentinean grill out of any color brick. It can be painted, provided a heat-resistant paint is used. A chimney structure on the top regulates heat and smoke by opening or closing a flue. Plan and build a counter or bar structure as well.

Re: Parrilla parts
For those considering building one in the future I think the Uruguayans have perfected the design with a built in charcoal maker
Throw your logs on the side and shovel coals under as they drop
You have a hot side and a cooler side if needed too.
