NSF Certified | Made in the USA
The NorCal Ovenworks Unit #4486 is a heavy-duty commercial charbroiler for professional kitchens that use traditional wood- or charcoal-fired cooking. Its split cooking configuration, independently adjustable grates, and deep insulated, brick-lined firebox provide the flexibility needed to manage multiple cooking tasks over live fire.
Built for restaurants, steakhouses, resorts, and other commercial foodservice operations, this unit combines durable construction with practical heat-control features and customizable cooking surfaces.
Independent Cooking Zones for Professional Kitchens
The split-grate configuration lets kitchen staff adjust each cooking surface independently with side-mounted hand wheels.
By raising or lowering the grates, chefs can control the distance between the food and the burning wood or charcoal without moving the fuel bed.
This arrangement supports simultaneous cooking tasks, such as searing steaks over intense heat while preparing vegetables, seafood, or other menu items at a different cooking height.
Deep Insulated, Brick-Lined Firebox
Unit #4486 features a deep, insulated firebox with a brick lining to retain heat during live-fire cooking.
The brick-lined construction provides a durable interior for demanding commercial applications, while the insulated design helps manage heat within the cooking chamber.
The firebox accommodates either wood or charcoal, giving operators flexibility in fuel selection and cooking style.
Cooking Grate Configurations
NorCal Ovenworks offers several cooking surface configurations to accommodate different menu requirements.
-
Argentine-Style V-Grates with Drip Pans: Angled cooking surfaces channel grease toward collection pans, helping manage drippings during grilling.
-
Round Rod Grates: A traditional open-grate surface suitable for a variety of grilled foods.
-
Square Rod Grates: A durable cooking surface option for direct-heat grilling.
We can discuss grate configurations during the ordering process to match the intended cooking application.

Designed for Commercial Kitchen Integration
This charbroiler is intended for professional live-fire cooking installations where ventilation, kitchen layout, equipment access, and workflow must be considered.
Important Installation Information: Commercial wood- and charcoal-burning charbroilers require an appropriately designed exhaust and fire-suppression system. NorCal specifies a separate exhaust hood from gas and electric cooking equipment. Confirm all ventilation, clearance, fire-code, and installation requirements with the appropriate local authorities and qualified kitchen professionals before installation.
