Tramontina Churrasco BBQ meat pen, 75cm, 26423-075

Tramontina grill skewers are ideal for barbecuing. You don't even need an actual barbecue. You can also light an open fire and hang a long skewer over the fire on a support. The skewer is sturdy enough for this because it's V-shaped and made of stainless steel. As well as providing strength, this shape also ensures that the meat rotates with the skewer and does not move freely on the skewer.

Tramontina Churrasco: barbecuing the Brazilian way

In South America, they know how to barbecue! The rich barbecue history leads us back to the Tropeiros, which is the Portuguese name for cowboys in Brazil. They worked with whatever was available to them to survive while herding cattle. On the Pampas, that meant leather, meat and wood.

The cowboys gathered around the fire and told stories while they enjoyed the barbecued meat. Nowadays, you don't have to barbecue to survive. And yet we still value barbecuing just like those cowboys of old. Gathering together to enjoy good food, fun and camaraderie.
