Bring authentic live-fire cooking to your outdoor kitchen with our handcrafted 45" Uruguayan Grill Kit (Base Unit #241241). Custom manufactured in Texas, this drop-in masonry insert brings South American ember grilling to mid-sized firebox setups.
Unlike larger models with split grates, the 45" kit features a single, full-coverage adjustable cooking grate. The entire cooking surface tilts effortlessly using a side adjustment lever, giving you seamless control over your distance from the heat. The integrated side brasero burns hardwood logs down into live coals, which you then rake beneath the grate. For quick weekday meals, you can also place charcoal directly under the main cooking surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the grate adjustment work on the 45" model?
The 45" model features a single, full-width cooking grate. Operating the side lever tilts the entire grate surface, letting you raise or lower your food relative to the coals beneath.
What is the difference between Black Steel and Stainless Steel?
The Black Steel version uses a heavy-duty black steel structural frame with stainless steel cooking rods. The Stainless Steel version is built 100% out of stainless steel from top to bottom, making it the ideal choice for uncovered setups or coastal climates.
