  3. 3
    Tambor de metal que está cortado al medio en sentido longitudinal y unidas las mitades con bisagras, de modo que pueda cerrarse. Esta estructura se suelda horizontalmente sobre un soporte y se perfora la parte superior por uno de sus extremos para añadirle un tubo curvo a modo de chimenea, lo que le da cierta semejanza a un guanaco₁. 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.
