    Tambor de metal que está cortado al medio en sentido longitudinal y unidas las mitades con bisagras, de modo que pueda cerrarse.

En la mitad inferior se suele poner una capa de material refractario para que el calor no ataque la chapa metálica, y una parrilla que queda aproximadamente a nivel con el corte efectuado. Se utiliza para cocinar asados.
