Thank you, Barcelona! Three days of charcoal cooking and new discoveries with PIRA
PIRA closes Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026 with a wonderful response from visitors, live cooking demonstrations and a broad showcase of our range—including the exclusive debut of the BBQ M150 SILVER.
From 2 to 4 November, Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026 at Fira Barcelona’s Gran Via venue brought us three days of cooking, conversations and shared enthusiasm for charcoal gastronomy.
To everyone who visited our stand, discovered our equipment and shared their projects with us: thank you for the warm welcome and for making this edition such a rewarding experience.
Live charcoal cooking with the PIRA 80 XXL SILVER ED
At the heart of our stand, the PIRA 80 XXL SILVER ED was in action throughout the event, giving visitors the opportunity to experience our charcoal cooking approach first-hand.
We would like to give special thanks to our consulting chef Martín Bado, who led the cooking during the fair. His expertise, dedication and enthusiasm helped visitors discover the oven’s possibilities through every preparation and conversation.
The programme also revealed a sweeter side of charcoal cooking: Chef Tere Vadillo of Leben prepared cookies and cheesecakes in the PIRA 80 XXL SILVER ED, demonstrating possibilities that extend well beyond traditional grill dishes.
A broad showcase of the PIRA SILVER SERIES
Alongside the live cooking, visitors explored a substantial selection from the PIRA catalogue, with a particular focus on our SILVER SERIES charcoal ovens.
The display included models such as the PIRA 120 SILVER ED and PIRA 90 SILVER ED, and showcased the different door configurations available across our oven range:
- ED — Lift-up glass doors: one of the biggest successes of our range, combining visibility into the cooking chamber with lift-up access.
- SD — Solid hinged doors.
- AB — Hinged glass doors.
Seeing these options together allowed visitors to compare formats and discuss which configuration would best suit their kitchen and working style.
PIRA COMBI SILVER: a new generation of barbecues
The fair was also an opportunity to introduce PIRA COMBI SILVER, one of our major launches of the second half of 2026.
On display was the PIRA COMBI SILVER 150, a stainless steel barbecue with two height-adjustable grilling modules and a central cooking section. Its modular configuration opens up different ways to organise charcoal cooking and adapt the equipment to each menu.
Robata cooking and an exclusive SILVER premiere
Our barbecue showcase also featured the PIRA ESP 80 SILVER COMPLETE espetero/robata, bringing another approach to cooking over charcoal to the stand.
Alongside it, we premiered the new PIRA BBQ M150 SILVER exclusively at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026. This first presentation gave visitors an early opportunity to discover the SILVER version and speak with our team about the latest addition to the range.
Together, these exhibits reflected the breadth of PIRA’s charcoal cooking equipment, from enclosed ovens to open barbecues and robatas.
Cookware and accessories to complete the kitchen
Beyond the main equipment, the PIRA range includes cookware and accessories that help chefs make the most of their ovens and barbecues.
From grills, griddles and skewers to rotisserie accessories and aluminium and rustic cookware, our website brings together options for different cooking techniques, equipment configurations and service needs.
Thank you for the trust, the conversations and the enthusiasm
To our customers, distributors, partners, chefs and everyone discovering PIRA for the first time: thank you for spending part of your Gastronomic Forum Barcelona experience with us.
Thank you also to Martín Bado, Tere Vadillo and the entire team who helped bring the stand to life. The cooking, the encounters and the shared ideas made these three days memorable.
