Custom Santa Maria Grill on Heavy-Duty Casters
Base Unit #4776
Commercial Mobile Spec | Single-Zone Precision | 100% Made in Texas | Free Continental U.S. Shipping*
The Single-Grate Mobile Workhorse
For chefs and pitmasters who prefer a unified cooking surface, the NorCal Ovenworks Base Unit #4776 is the definitive mobile platform. While our "Split" models offer dual zones, the #4776 offers maximum continuous surface area, allowing you to roast whole animals, lay out massive racks of ribs, or manage a high-volume burger service on a single, expansive grate.
Mounted on heavy-duty casters, this unit is designed for dynamic environments. Whether it’s rolling onto a restaurant patio for service or moving across a slate deck to catch the wind, the #4776 combines the soul of Santa Maria cooking with the utility of commercial equipment.
Included Standard Issue: Pro-Grade Ash Tool Set
Professional Maintenance Kit Included.
We do not send our grills out unprepared. Every #4776 now ships with a matching heavy-duty tool set as standard equipment, so you can manage your coal bed effectively from Day 1.

Fabrication Specifications
1. 14" Deep Firebox (Fully Welded)
The firebox is the heart of the machine. Ours is fabricated with a closed-front design for safety and heat containment. We utilize full seam welds throughout—never "tack welds"—ensuring the box retains its structural integrity through thousands of heat cycles.
2. Variable Height Flywheel System
Control the heat, don't fight it. The side-mounted flywheel allows for infinite vertical adjustment of the grate.
-
Sear: Lower the grate deep into the firebox (flush with the rim) for intense direct heat.
-
Roast: Elevate the grate high above the coals to slow down the cook or hold temperatures during service.
3. Material Configurations
-
A36 Black Steel: 3/16" thick steel body. The traditional choice. Comes seasoned with a Stainless Steel grilling surface.
-
All-Stainless Steel: Non-polished, industrial finish. Recommended for coastal applications, humid climates, or commercial kitchens requiring NSF-level sanitation.
4. Mobile Chassis
The unit sits on four reinforced legs equipped with Heavy-Duty Locking Casters. This is not a flimsy patio trolley; it is a stable cooking station designed to be moved and locked into place.
Grate Logic: Configure Your Build
Select the surface that matches your culinary style.
-
Standard: Stainless Steel Round Rod – The industry standard for easy cleaning and defined sear marks.
-
Mesh Upgrade: Expanded Steel – Ideal for ingredients that might slip through rods (shrimp, vegetables, smaller cuts).
-
The Argentine Upgrade: V-Grate with Drip Pan – Inverted angle iron tracks grease away from the fire into a detachable catch pan. Reduces flare-ups and provides a cleaner convection heat. (Highly Recommended for Fatty Meats).
