Base Unit #4999: NSF Certified Brick-Lined Split Charcoal Grill
The Ultimate Exhibition Grill for High-Volume Commercial Kitchens.
Engineered for the rigors of the professional steakhouse and the visual demands of the open-fire kitchen, Base Unit #4999 is the definitive tool for authentic live-fire cooking. This NSF-certified powerhouse combines heavy-duty industrial steel with a traditional brick-lined firebox to deliver unmatched heat retention and durability.
Advanced Thermal Engineering
At the heart of Base Unit #4999 is a custom brick-lined firebox. This design doesn’t just protect the steel frame from extreme thermal stress; it acts as a heat battery. By absorbing and radiating consistent infrared energy, the brick lining eliminates the cold spots and temperature swings common in standard metal grills, allowing your chefs to maintain a perfect sear even during the busiest dinner rushes.
The Power of the Split Design
Versatility is a requirement, not an option. Base Unit #4999 features two independent cooking zones to handle diverse menus simultaneously:
-
The Argentine V-Grate Side: Precision-sloped to channel drippings into a removable fat tray. This prevents flare-ups and allows for a "low and slow" smoke-infused cook.
-
The 1/2" Square Rod Grate Side: Massive solid steel rods designed for high-conductive heat. This side is built for aggressive searing and creating the signature char defined by elite steakhouses.
Precision Control & Mobility
Each side is equipped with our signature independent height-adjustment wheels. Your culinary team can move the grates inches from the coals for a flash-sear or raise them high to rest meats or slow-roast delicate seafood. Mounted on industrial-grade locking casters, this unit offers the stability of a built-in fixture with the flexibility to reposition it within your cookline.
