Base Unit #4614

Commercial-Spec Mobility | Dual-Zone Fabrication | 100% Made in Texas | Free Continental U.S. Shipping*

The Mobile Command Center for Live-Fire Cooking

For the chef who needs mobility without sacrificing power, the NorCal Ovenworks Base Unit #4614 is the industry standard. Unlike static patio grills, this unit is engineered as a mobile culinary workstation. Whether you are reconfiguring a restaurant patio, catering an off-site wedding, or managing a large residential estate, this machine moves with the action.

This is a Fabricator-Grade instrument. We don’t just pull boxes off a shelf; we weld steel. The #4614 features our "Split" firebox architecture, giving you two completely isolated grilling zones. 

Included Standard Issue: Pro-Grade Ash Tool Set

Protect Your Investment.

We believe a high-performance machine requires high-performance maintenance. We no longer treat these as "accessories"—they are now standard equipment included with every #4614 build.

• For Black Steel Builds: Includes the Black Steel T-Rake & Poker Kit ($220 Value).

• For Stainless Builds: Includes the 304-Grade Stainless T-Rake & Poker Kit ($400 Value) for sterile environments and maximum rust immunity.

Technical Specifications & Fabrication Details

1. Independent Variable Height Control (Split System)

The #4614 utilizes two independent flywheels connected to separate lifting mechanisms. This allows for asynchronous cooking:

• Zone A: Drop the grate flush with the coals for high-BTU searing (700°F+).

• Zone B: Elevate the grate for ambient smoking or slow-roasting (225°F).

• Result: You can execute a complete multi-course service from a single unit.

2. Heavy-Duty Mobile Architecture

Standard grills have "legs." The #4614 comes with heavy-duty, locking casters. This provides stability during transport and allows for easy repositioning to account for wind direction or operational flow.

3. Fully Seam-Welded Firebox

We do not utilize spot welding or rivets in our fireboxes. Every corner and seam is fully welded to prevent thermal warping and ensure the unit can withstand daily commercial heat cycles.

4. Material Configurations

• A36 Black Steel: 3/16" heavy-gauge steel body. Rugged, retains heat efficiently, and develops a seasoned patina over time. Includes Stainless Steel grilling surface. (NSF Certification is available)

• 304 Stainless Steel: Non-polished, industrial finish. The choice for coastal applications or commercial kitchens. 

Grate Logic: Configure Your Build

Heritage Backyard sells standard setups. At NorCal, we build to your spec.

• Standard: Stainless Steel Round Rod – The universal all-rounder for easy cleaning and great marks.

• Mesh Upgrade: Expanded Steel – Ideal for smaller items (shrimp, vegetables) that might fall through rods.

• The Argentine Upgrade: V-Grate with Drip Pan – Inverted angle iron tracks grease into a detachable catch pan. This reduces flare-ups and creates a cleaner, convection-style heat.

(Pro Tip: Many of our commercial clients order a "Hybrid" setup—V-Grate on the left for meats, Round Rod on the right for veg. Call us to configure.)

Dimensions & Sizing

• Firebox Depth: 24" (Standard Commercial Depth)

• Firebox Height: 14" (Optimized for airflow)
