The Art and Science of Open Fire BBQ

The Soul of the Fire

I am a Brazilian-qualified veterinarian, chef, and Australia-based Open-Fire BBQ Specialist. My journey is not just about cooking; it's about understanding the primal connection between meat, fire, and human experience.

As the first Gaucho practitioner to deliver open-fire cooking at the Vivid Festival, I combine scientific precision with the raw, untamed nature of the flame. From meat science to equipment innovation, my mission is to elevate the art of BBQ to its highest form.

Australia's Open Fire BBQ School

Pampa Flame is Australia's first open fire BBQ school, based in Hunter Valley, NSW. Founded by Givago Garcia Tissot, a Brazilian-qualified veterinarian, chef and Gaucho practitioner, we teach the ancient South American tradition of asado and parrilla cooking to anyone who wants to learn the real way to cook over fire.

Our Open Fire BBQ Masterclass runs every month in Hunter Valley. You'll grill over real wood and charcoal, cook premium cuts including picanha, lamb and beef ribs, and sit down to an all-you-can-eat asado feast. No experience required. Small groups. Certificate included.

Beyond the masterclass, Pampa Flame offers consultancy for restaurants and events, bespoke content creation, and the VULCAN Mobile Parrilla, a custom-engineered open fire grill designed for serious asadors. Whether you're a home cook, a BBQ enthusiast, a corporate team or a hospitality brand, Pampa Flame brings the fire to you.
