NorCal Ovenworks: Argentine Grill Kit with Rear Brasero (Bolt-In) for Masonry Fireboxes
Experience Wood-Fired Excellence with Precision Fire Management
Elevate your outdoor kitchen with the NorCal Ovenworks Argentine-Style Grill Kit (Base Unit #3143). Engineered for the serious live-fire enthusiast, this bolt-in insert features a dedicated rear brasero, providing a continuous supply of clean embers while keeping your cooking surface clear and your heat perfectly controlled.
Designed specifically for open-front masonry fireboxes, this kit combines rugged durability with the authentic South American grilling experience.
The Advantage of the Rear Brasero
The rear-mounted ember maker is the secret to professional-grade temperature management. By burning your wood down to coals behind the grate, you can rake fresh heat forward only when needed.
-
Consistent Thermal Mass: Maintain steady temperatures without disturbing your food.
-
Flare-Up Prevention: Keep active flames separate from your searing zone.
-
Extended Cook Times: Ideal for long roasts and multi-course entertaining.
-
Total Control: The preferred setup for grillers who treat fire management as an art form.
Key Features of Unit #3143

Integrated Rear Brasero: High-capacity ember maker sits behind the grate for efficient wood-to-coal conversion.

-
Precision Height Adjustment: Our signature side-wheel allows you to raise or lower the grate to micro-adjust heat intensity.
-
Classic Argentine V-Grate: Includes a removable stainless steel drip pan to channel grease away from the coals, virtually eliminating flare-ups.

Installation & Operation
This professional-grade kit is built to be installed inside the firebox rather than on top. Integrated bolt-down feet ensure a rock-solid foundation within your masonry structure.
How it Works:
-
Fire the Brasero: Load the rear basket with hardwood.
-
Rake the Embers: Once the wood breaks down, slide the glowing coals forward under the grate.
-
Dial in the Heat: Use the side wheel to position your steaks, chimichurri chicken, or vegetables at the perfect distance from the embers.
