Custom Brick-Lined Charcoal Grill for Professional Kitchens & Exhibition Cooking
The NorCal Ovenworks Unit #4813 Commercial Ottoman-Style Charbroiler is a heavy-duty, solid-fuel cooking system engineered for restaurants, professional chefs, and foodservice operations specializing in traditional skewer grilling and open-fire cooking.
Inspired by Ottoman-style charcoal cooking, this commercial charbroiler features an elongated, refractory brick-lined firebox that accommodates metal cooking skewers and clamshell grilling baskets.
Its open cooking chamber lets operators manage charcoal placement, set different heat levels, and cook multiple items at once.
Designed for commercial kitchen installations and exhibition-style food preparation, Unit #4813 combines straightforward fire management with durable steel construction and customizable configurations.
Designed for Commercial Charcoal Cooking
Long, Open Firebox for Skewer Grilling
Unlike conventional charbroilers with fixed cooking grates, this Ottoman-style design provides an open firebox suitable for cooking with long metal skewers and grilling baskets.
Chefs can position skewers across the firebox and adjust their placement during cooking.
Commercial advantages:
-
Accommodates traditional kebabs, meat skewers, and vegetable skewers.
-
Allows multiple portions to cook along the length of the firebox.
-
Supports different cooking intensities through charcoal placement.
-
Provides direct access to the fire for fuel management.
-
Creates an engaging live-fire presentation for open-kitchen restaurants.
Refractory Brick-Lined Cooking Chamber
Unit #4813's interior is lined with refractory brick to withstand direct exposure to high cooking temperatures.
The brick lining protects the surrounding steel firebox and helps retain heat during charcoal cooking.
Operator benefits:
-
Durable construction for repeated commercial use.
-
Heat-retaining interior surfaces.
-
Protection for the surrounding steel structure.
-
A straightforward firebox design without complicated mechanical lifting systems.
Flexible Charcoal & Heat Management
The unobstructed cooking chamber lets chefs distribute burning charcoal throughout the firebox to match their cooking needs.
Operators can arrange charcoal to create hotter and cooler cooking areas, giving them flexibility when preparing different proteins and vegetables.
This approach is particularly useful for specialty restaurants where cooks need direct control over the fire rather than relying on mechanical cooking-grate adjustments.
