ULTIMATE ASADO ARSENAL

TIPILIUKE LODGE HAD A REALLY GREAT LITTLE GIFT SHOP WITH THESE AMAZING HAND MADE GAUCHO KNIFES. THE HANDLES ARE MADE FROM THE RED STAG HORN OFF THE PROPERTY AND THE DETAILS ON THE HANDLE AND SCABBARD ARE IN STERLING SILVER.  

BBQ TOOLS WITH STAG HANDLES

FROM THE LOCAL GAUCHO SHOP

(FARM SHOP/HARDWARE STORE)

THIS IS BY FAR IS ONE OF THE BEST BBQ INVENTIONS I HAVE SCENE. IT WAS PROBABLY CONCEIVED BY SOME DUDE WHO WAS SICK OF PUSHING OFF DOZENS OF SAUSAGES AND CHORIZO FROM HIS BBQ FORK. I JUST THINK THIS THING IS GENIUS.

THE TRIGGER MECHANISM...

THAT PUSHES THE PLATE FORWARD AND THE SAUSAGE OFF THE FORK.

ASADO

WHEN I TOLD MY FRIEND I WAS HEADING TO SOUTH AMERICA HE SAID "AH, ARGENTINA WHERE CHICKEN IS A VEGETABLE" HE WAS RIGHT, IT WAS A MEAT FEST AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. (JUST HAD A FULL RUN OF MEDS AND FOUND SURPRISING LOW CHOLESTEROL…) ASADO - BRING IT!
