Step 1 – Build Your Fire
Use hardwood (oak, mesquite, quebracho, acacia). Let the flames burn down to glowing red embers.

Step 2 – Adjust the Heat
Raise or lower the grill grate using the wheel to find the perfect cooking temperature.

Step 3 – Cook with Patience
Let the embers do the work—slow cooking creates bold flavor without flare-ups.

Step 4 – Share the Table
Cooking on a Tortuga Grill is never just about food—it’s about community, family, and storytelling.

Pro Tip: With Tortuga, you’re not just grilling—you’re embracing an ancient way of life.
