Hand-made by local artisans in Argentina, the uke Puma features a heavy-duty brazier-style fire starter basket where real wood or natural lump charcoal is burnt to hot embers before they are slid onto heat refractory bricks under the grill.
A quintessential Santa Maria-style control wheel raises or lowers the grill grate allowing asadors to cook from 4 to 23 from the coals.
The distance from the coals controls the cooking temperature, allowing for high-heat searing of thinner cut steaks or vegetables or low-and-slow cooking of thicker roasts or racks of ribs.
The Puma is also outfitted with traditional V-shaped grill grates to channel drippings away from the fire to avoid flare-ups.
Made from a combination of high-grade stainless and heavy-gauge steel, the Puma is both extremely durable and an attractive centerpiece for any outdoor kitchen.
The Puma comes with a cast iron plancha to overlay the brazier for flat-top cooking, a wheeled cart featuring accessory hooks, as well as a fire poker and shovel for managing the coals and easy ash clean-up.
