Posted by Michelle Knackstedt on Sep 22nd 2026

The NorCal Ovenworks Unit #241302 brings the character and control of traditional ember cooking to a custom outdoor kitchen. This 54-inch Uruguayan Grill Kit combines a spacious cooking area, an adjustable grate, and a dedicated side brasero in one heavy-duty installation.

Control the Cooking Temperature at the Grate

Cooking over a live fire requires a different approach than cooking over gas. The height-adjustable grate allows the cooking surface to be positioned closer to or farther away from the embers.

Lowering the grate provides more intense heat for searing, while raising it creates a gentler cooking environment. This direct mechanical control allows the cook to respond to the fire throughout the cooking process.

Maintain the Fire with a Dedicated Brasero

The side brasero burns wood separately from the primary cooking area. Once the wood has developed into hot embers, you can move those embers beneath the cooking grate.

This arrangement helps maintain the cooking fire while keeping newly added wood and its initial smoke away from food on the main grate.

Ready for a Custom-Built Surround

Unit #241302 is intended for integration into a masonry base or custom outdoor-kitchen structure. You can plan the finished installation around the cooking space, preferred working height, and overall outdoor-kitchen design.

The grill’s open-fire configuration also makes cooking part of the experience, allowing guests to see the fire and the food being prepared.
