Pete Reedley, CA | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Don't buy from anyone else! I had been doing my research on the various types of grills for a long time. I finally decided that the Delta would come the closest to all of my needs. My wife surprised me by buying it for my birthday, it was a great gift but it came with minor damage. BUT the people at bbqguys made everything right. To be honest they went above and beyond in making everything right. I won't buy from anyone else from now on. They were very thorough in making sure the damage pieces were replaced and always prompt in their responses. Regardless of which grill you purchase be confident that you are doing business with a company who will do their best to make sure your getting what you paid for and more. Again the grill is great, but the customer service from BBQguys is superb! | Was This Helpful? |
christopher Undisclosed Verified Purchaser | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Love the grill, and love BBQ GUYS even more! Absolutely love this grill. Solid build, looks great, comes with everything including a durable cover for storage. Super easy to control the heat with the ability to raise or lower the grate as well as being able to move the charcoal/wood under the grate. The only thing I would change is to cut one of the bricks for a tighter fit around the right side grate post. Currently the bricks are cut larger than need to be which allow for ashes to make it into the warning compartment underneath. Luckily they include two extra bricks so we will be able to take care of that small issue.
BBQ customer service is the best I have seen anywhere, hands down. I called them to let them know there were some discrepancies with the grill (thermometer glass was cracked and door latch bent) and they stayed on the phone with me until they had pictures and emailed me almost daily until the issue was resolved. Can't wait to order my next grill through this company! Special thanks to LaShawndra and Martisia for your excellent communication and customer service! | Was This Helpful? |
Jack R New York | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Great grill, lots of fun Great grill. We use it every Sunday at least with family. The cooking grates are a bit tight in the fit, but worked out. Tons of space to move coals around and be able to cook with direct and indirect heat. The griddle is great, just needs to be seasoned. Not too much of a hassel.
The grill should ship with touch up, if I can make any suggestions. There are some minor shipping scuffs that got a bit of rust in them. Otherwise very happy. | Was This Helpful? |
Javier Undisclosed Verified Purchaser | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Just like the picture. I would recommend to a friend. It came really nicely packaged. It needed minimal assembly and it was easy to follow the instructions. Looks great!!
But I haven't been able to use it yet. It is too hot in Alabama in July for a wood-burning grill lol. | Was This Helpful? |
Max Lexington, MA | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Fantastic product! So happy to have bought it! Finally I can cook in the USA as I did in my native Argentina! | Was This Helpful? |
G Aptos California | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Best Choice 👌 i made so far. I was wasting money pretty much every other year on grills that needed to be replaced even when i was doing everything to protect it. Finally I will be able to have a Real Argentinian parrillada. | Was This Helpful? |
Greg D. GEORGIA | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Well built, great to use, fantastic customer service! This is a beast of a grill! Brick-lined so keeps radiant heat where you want it. Using firewood (oak and hickory) takes a little while to gather another embers but well worth the time. It is a full immersion cooking experience. Thumps way up to customer service - Nhicole was great! - in answering my questions and helping me. Great follow up and real commitment to customer satisfaction. | Was This Helpful? |
Ariel B Arcadia, CA | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Awesome firewood/charcoal grill This is a fantastic Argentinian style grill. I've researched for a long time for a good charcoal grill and this is the best value around. It is well made, easy to use and a LOT of fun. I love it so much, I'm planning to get a second one for our vacation home. We did have some issues with broken refractory bricks but Nuke and BBQ Guys took care of that right away. I love this grill and we have been doing Argentinian style asados every weekend since the grill arrived. | Was This Helpful? |
Big Lew DeRidder, Louisiana | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ I truly enjoy using it. I've had this grill for approximately six months. I truly enjoy using it. I most often use lump charcoal rather than wood because it is more convenient. with wood you have to let it burn to embers. Either way it is a lot of fun to cook with this grill. Control the heat by raising and lowering the grill or by moving coals under or away from the food. Certainly not as simple turning knob, setting a temperature on an electronic key pad, or even adjusting dampers. Some folks may call it more work, I call it more fun. I can't say every thing that i have cooked on it has been perfect. However, as I have gained more experience and confidence using this grill, foods are near about perfect more often than not. The stuff that comes off this grill is delicious. It isn't hard to clean either, just sweep the ashes out with a whisk broom and wash off the porcelain coated grates. | Was This Helpful? |
KJP Nap-town | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Outstanding for the price point with lots of versatility!!! Extremely pleased with packaging for shipping. Construction is solid, but not of premium materials - no stainless steel. Concern over how long it will last with prolonged cooking and weather exposure - looks like a 3-5 year lifespan hence the 4 stars. Most versatility in heat control of any Argentine grill out there - just slide the coals to the side. If your fire burns down, you just restock from the side brassero (fire box) - no need to lift grate and add raw fuel under your cooking meats (making flames, flare-ups, and harsh smoke). Not for the lazy or easily distracted - cooking on this grill requires a commitment to maintaining the heat and the fuel source. Not a logical transition from a gas grill - go buy a weber instead - this is better suited for an experienced griller who likes to entertain, has some experience, and is not willing to drop $4-8K on a custom stainless steel design with v-grates (BTW - not a fan of v-grate grills; they limit your cooking versatility). | Was This Helpful? |

Do you love playing with fire? Then the Ñuke Delta is the perfect grill for you.
Necessity is so often the mother of invention, and the parilla (“pah-REE-ja”) is no exception. Think back to the 18th century, to the downward tip of South America. Famous throughout Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, and their Argentinian homelands were the gauchos — horse-mounted cattlemen not unlike American cowboys. Rustling cattle across South America is hungry work; the gauchos avoided eating too much of the merchandise by using every cut of their beef. To make the tough cuts tender, did they have large pots and endless water? No. But they had wood, and plenty of open space. Thus, the parilla was born: a simple, versatile cooking surface little more than a metal grill grate over a heat source of embers.
That’s exactly what makes this grill shine. Since Argentinian cuisine and grill designs are all about wood-fire cooking, the Ñuke Delta focuses on that experience with excellent results. From fuel stash to powered ash, you build a bed of embers — and this grill hands you the literal lever to the fire. Vent control and wireless apps are for other BBQ experiences; this one is about merging rustic satisfaction with modern sensibility. If a traditional parilla was simply an iron grate over a few bricks, why not raise or lower that grate to switch heat intensities? So long as the flames wind up under the grate, why not simply load your fuel in a firebox at the side and reposition the embers with an ash tool? With the Delta, you get direct coal access and maneuverability and a whole lot of fun.
Quality:
The Delta hits high marks for solid construction and convenient design choices.
-
Built with 265 lbs of medium-gauge painted steel, the Ñuke Delta stands 37 inches tall (or, a little higher than counter-height) on heavy-duty casters made for maneuverability. Refractory bricks measuring 8 ¾ inches by 4 ½ inches (⅝ inches thick) line the entire cooking chamber, which is partly occupied by an 8-inch by 15-inch ribbed firebox. The ribbed firebox holds enough wood splits to create a full cook's worth of embers or detaches easily if you prefer to use charcoal. You can even top it with the included carbon steel griddle and transform the entire firebox into a white-hot cooking zone.
Of course, the real star here is the height adjustment lever. Parked on the left-hand side, the lever shifts between 5 locked positions; starting at roughly 3 ¾ inches above the firepit floor, the grill grates peak at 7 inches. While it’s easy to underestimate that range, this is a grill designed to excel at everything heat. In such a refractory environment, even a single inch can make a tide of difference.
-
Performance:
The Ñuke Delta loves building powerful, controllable fire — and then handing you the keys.
Cooking on the Ñuke Delta almost flips the script on typical grilling. Instead of rearranging and repurposing the cooking environment, you’re adjusting the coal bed beneath. In fact, that’s one of the top things we hear from customers: how easy it is to get spectacular results when you can adjust the height or shift the heat source with a single hand. Not that you’ll have to, of course, unless you feel like really piloting this grill. With an interior lined with refractory brick and complete control over where those embers sit, the Ñuke Delta boasts great heat dispersal and control — and it never asks you to touch a cooking grate.
-
That’s what this grill is really all about: producing great heat, knowing what to do with it, and equipping you to steer the process however you see fit. (Hey, just like a gaucho!) If you’ve ever burned wood splits before, you’re already familiar with how the Ñuke Delta works. Every log-stacking method we threw at this grill gave us reasonable results, so it’s effectively your choice. Getting fully preheated might take between 30–45 minutes and half a dozen splits, but the real joy here is in the spectacle.
Speaking of, this grill loves attention. While it can take a while to start grill-worthy embers, it can do a remarkable impersonation of a fire pit. All the while, those refractory bricks will soak up heat and prepare to get to work. However, bear in mind that ambient temperature is a factor here; this grill will certainly cook in cold climates, but it’ll chew through wood to get there. Gaucho-style grills can only do so much against physics. But once you get that wood crackling, those grill grates will power through whatever you throw on them — we found it delicate enough to brown spiral sausage nicely without cracking the casing, and a tomahawk steak 3 inches thick cooked like a dream.
-
Features:
Forget jack-of-all-trades grills; the Delta picks a few key features and really shines.
-
This grill forgoes complications to excel at its intended target. While the grill might be lighter on features, they’re really not the point. But it does come packed with a few surprises. Let’s swing back to that carbon steel griddle plate; the Delta supplies a perfect 19 ⅝-inch by 9 ⅝-inch searing surface that settles in right over the firebox. Excellent for sautéing vegetables and flat-top cooking, yet formidable enough to take cast iron on a ride, we can’t overhype what joy you can squeeze out of this treat.
Underneath the main cooking area, the Delta supplies a convenient warming drawer. No longer will your breads and side dishes shiver while the steaks sizzle. When you need to work the embers, which will be often, the included 30-inch fire poker and 30-inch ash shovel are ample tools that are satisfying to wield.
-
At the end of the day, our favorite perk is Ñuke’s commitment to customer satisfaction. The warranty comes standard — that receipt protects you for one year from purchase for manufacturing defects — but what about that hefty transit from South America? Starting with the well-packed box, they slip in several spare bricks as a precaution; if the grill arrives damaged, they’ll outright replace components at no cost. We’ve even heard of some customers getting paint shipped for small scratches. That’s a level of support we don’t often see, and we’re pleased they stand so strongly behind their product.

Back to TopQuestion: What is the recommended way to get the wood started? Was This Helpful? Answer: I like to start a small fire in the charcoal chimney, just a couple
handfuls, then use that as starter for the wood. Works every time and with
small amount of charcoal doesn't take long. Asked by KnoxTigerAnswered by kkosoris Answer: I just use any kind of fire starters from the store and some old newspaper under the firewood. Just make sure the wood is really dry.
On lazy days I just use charcoal with a charcoal chimney starter.
