Join the forge where pitmasters are made, not born. Where every technique is battle-tested in restaurant kitchens and every method is designed to make you the pitmaster your circle calls when it matters.

The Fire, The Craft, The Gear

THE FIRE, THE CRAFT, THE GEAR.

This isn't just gear — it's everything I trust when the fire's hot and the pressure's on. Every knife, apron, and tool is tested in the pit before it ever makes it to you. Because if it can't stand up to real fire, it doesn't belong here.

HAND-SELECTED. BATTLE-TESTED. ZERO COMPROMISES.

Authentic Asado Arsenal - Tools of the Trade

AUTHENTIC ASADO ARSENAL

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

The Art of Fire, Forged for Command.

"This line ignited with a vision to bring Argentine Asado tradition to every pit. I needed tools that could move coals, carve Picanha, and plate with pride — gear as tough as the gaucho spirit. Made in partnership with artisans using traditional techniques, this gear reflects a legacy of fire-craft, not factory lines."
The Pitmaster Set - Asado Edition
The Pitmaster Set

Gear as Tough as Gaucho Spirit

The Pitmaster Set evolved from late-night feasts — a teak carving board, polished 3-prong trident, and eight tasting forks for show-stopping serves. The Showstopper Kit and The Claw came from the need for grip and control, forged from injected aluminum to shred brisket or steady roasts with ease.

Key Callouts:

Hand-crafted by Argentine artisans
Traditional techniques, not factory lines
Built for picanha, lamb, and showmanship
Mirror-polished aluminum precision
Shop All Asado Gear View the Pitmaster Set

Exclusive to NY BBQ Guys, the Asado Arsenal brings authentic Argentine fire tradition to your pit. These aren't just tools — they're instruments of gaucho heritage, forged for those who command the flame with pride.

Verified Facebook Review "

I don't usually leave reviews, but I had to drop a note after getting my gear from NY BBQ Guys. Picked up a gold knife, silver knife, the tongs, forks, and bear claws — and every single piece feels like it was made to last a lifetime. The knives are razor-sharp and balanced beautifully. This is the kind of gear that makes you look forward to firing up the pit.
