ARCHITECTURAL GRILLS FOR YOUR HOME
Argentine Parrillas
Argentine Parrillas are traditionally built-in, both indoors and out. Our Architectural line most closely honors that form, while adding capabilities beyond that of a typical parrilla, and aesthetics second to none, whether designed into a space they are to center, or to simply compliment a larger look.
These grills can come in nearly any size, and are able to cook with a wide array of surface types, though each comes with the traditional parrilla v-channels that funnel juices into chef-facing basting pans.
The different surface types we offer are all hot-swappable in and out at any time. V-channels, hex bar for hard sear, mesh for small things or more fire exposure, and plancha.
Every grill is built entirely in 304 stainless steel, in gauges ranging from 11 to 16, specs and heft that far exceed professional standards.
The Single Architecturals
have one crankwheel which raises and lowers the cooking surfaces through up to 18” of vertical space.
The Dual Architecturals
are armed with twin crankwheels and independent surfaces, offering the cook two grills in one, and the ability to heat or rest items utterly independently, or completely segregate proteins from vegetables.

“It’s an epic grill, crafted to perfection — and I’m Argentine, so the benchmark was high!”

Planning for your Architectural Grill
All Architecturals are Brasero-Equipped
In Argentina the whole wood is always burned down to coals before being moved under the cooking surfaces. This is usually done using a brasero, or what we call a fire cage. Wood is burned in the chamber, releasing coals through the bottom, that then feed the heat bed. All of our Architectural models include a removable fire cage on the rear of the grill’s frame. Argentinos will tell you that the cage is usually off to the side of their parrillas, but we find the central-rear location to be more convenient for raking coals forward under the cooking area, and a very pleasing visual feast.
You do not need to use a brasero– building your fire or coal bed directly under the cooking surfaces works just as well (pardon, Argentina!), and since you have such a high lift range you can raise your dinner high if there is any excessive flame. Because of this, and some customers’ space needs, we have ‘shallow’ versions of all these models that omit the cage in order to save depth. The standard Architecturals are 28” front to back, while the shallow versions are 22”.

The Process
All you need to do is tell us the space you have available and if you prefer single or dual Architectural. Single large surface and single crankwheel, or twin independent surfaces each with their own crankwheel. We send you easy-to-follow PDF drawings that you can share with your architect or builder, plus the technical guide for food and fire safety. All of our Architectural grills are NSF certified food-safe, and are ETL/UL-ready. When you’ve decided, we send you quotes direct (we are happy to send to buyers, distributors, or GCs, too) because we find that everything goes most smoothly when we can guide the end-customer. We take your happiness very seriously and want to know that you are thrilled. When you get the grill and decades later. Call us for anything. Put us in touch with the people building the enclosure so we can advise on our experience with best practices in designing your own parrilla.
Once you’ve decided on size, orientation, and any accessories or customizations you may want, we’re ready to put your order in the queue. Payment secures your place in our build queue. Lead times can vary depending on time of year and load, but the Architectural line usually ranges from 10-14 weeks from order to completion. They arrive ready to slide into your enclosure. No assembly is required. Then we’re ready for any questions or help needed to complete your Grillworks parrilla.
The Single Architectural Series
The models have a single crankwheel that lifts a single frame carrying two cooking surfaces. They can be ordered with the wheel centered, or offset left/right for aesthetic reasons. The crankwheel can also be mounted on the outside of masonry, we simply need to know the thickness of the wall the axle will need to penetrate.

The Dual Architectural Series
These are our most flexible models, as they both allow incredible control over the heat exposure any single item gets and give the cook a convenient way to rest or hold items out of the high heat while others are being seared.

SEE THEM IN ACTION
OUR HOME GRILLS
Freestanding
Home is where Grillworks started. Every model we make harkens back to the little grill Charles Eisendrath invented over 40 years ago. The Grillworks 20, in fact, shares the exact same footprint, look, and capabilities of the original. Joining the 20 is an array of freestanding grills that range in size from the 20 (named for the cooking surface size) up to the show-stopping, restaurant-level Langelier X54.
OUR PROFESSIONAL GRILLS & SYSTEMS
The professional space is where we get the most inspiration for new features, models and looks. This results in our pro models really pushing the envelope in both their ability to do anything an ambitious chef has in mind and also complete the look a restaurant designer knows will be key to a concept being ‘right’. And if something more can be done on either front, we want you to present us with that challenge.
The Infiernos
Our flagship self-contained grills are dubbed ‘Infierno’ for obvious reasons. These grills are built to battleship scale. They aren’t designed to melt into the background anywhere, rather they are the statement piece whether indoors, outdoors, alone or in a fiery kitchen line.
The Langelier Elite
When customers stunned by a restaurant Infierno began asking for models like them they could put in their homes we named this “smaller” category Langelier Elite, after the longtime Grillworks friend who got the first.
Professional Built-in EXO Pro Grills
Many restaurant designers and chefs have a very specific look in mind for their new space and kitchen. The EXO Pro line is intended to compliment, or add that wood grill PUNCH, to an aesthetic. These grills offer almost every capability of the Infierno line, but come ready to slide into an enclosure of the customer’s design. Where the Infierno is the whole line in a dramatic roll-in package, the EXO Pro arrives ready to be a team player.
