Easy Method to Light Your Argentinian Barbecue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making a fire in a traditional Argentinian barbecue does not have to be difficult. With the right wood and a simple stacking technique inspired by the Swiss method, you can light your fire easily and achieve guaranteed success. No special attention or constant handling is needed. Within just 15 minutes you will have a strong, glowing fire that is ready for grilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the Right Wood<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the best results you should always use nice and dry wood. Harder wood types like oak or beech are perfect. Fruittree wood also works wonderfully and adds a subtle aroma to your grilling. Avoid soft or damp wood, as it will make lighting more difficult and less efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step by Step: How to Make the Fire<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 \u2013 Fire-up cubes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Place a few fire-up cubes in the firepit of your barbecue. These cubes are your base and will ignite quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2 \u2013 First logs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Position two medium-sized logs, approximately 30 to 35 centimeters long and about 9 by 9 thick, alongside the cubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3 \u2013 Second layer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lay another two logs across the first pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4 \u2013 Top layer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Add two more logs across again on the top layer. This crosswise stacking ensures that the flame will naturally attack the log placed at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this structure the fire gets enough air circulation and builds up heat without effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
