Premise
According to RAE (Real Academia Española), the word quincho, widely used in Argentina and Uruguay, defines ?a shed consisting of a thatched roof supported by wooden columns or other material; It is usually built in the garden of a house or in its back, and is used as a shelter against rain or sun in outdoor meals.? The word derives by ?quincha?, an ancient Quechua word that defines a traditional construction system of South America that consists of a threaded cane or bamboo covered with mud.
In Argentina, having asado (cooking meat on embers, similar to barbecue), more then a culinary tradition is an art, or a religion.

Basically it?s a ritual. Argentinians now use the word quincho to define a construction made expressly to prepare and enjoy a good asado. This is generally a family business, since the variety of pieces of meat and their dimensions are big. It?s a shared meal, and the construction can be simply a barbecue, a covered shed, or a proper building.
