Custom Split Argentine Drop-In Grill for Masonry

Base Unit #BISPAR

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

The Dual-Zone Masonry Insert

The NorCal Ovenworks Base Unit #BISPAR is the architectural standard for multi-zone wood-fired or charcoal cooking. Designed for permanent installation into custom masonry islands, this unit features a "Split" architecture that provides two completely independent grilling stations within a single thermal envelope.

Engineered for the chef who needs to multitask, the #BISPAR allows for asynchronous elevation. You can drop the left grate flush with the coals for high-heat searing while keeping the right grate elevated for slow roasting. Equipped with a heavy-duty structural flange, this unit drops seamlessly into stone, stucco, or brick enclosures, providing the clean, flush-mount finish required by high-end design specifications.

Fabrication Specifications

1. Dual-Zone Independent Control

The #BISPAR features Two Independent Side-Mounted Flywheels.

• Function: Total separation of cooking logic. Manage a steak service on one side and a vegetable service on the other without thermal conflict.

2. Structural Flange Options

• Standard (Open Front): A 3-Sided Flange allows the firebox floor to be flush with your hearth, granting easy access to the fire for raking and cleaning.

• Optional (Closed Front): A 4-Sided Flange creates a "Window" effect, fully enclosing the firebox within the masonry for a sleek, modern look and improved wind protection.

3. Argentine V-Grate Technology

Equipped with our signature V-Grate Surface on both sides. These channels capture rendering fats and funnel them into dual detachable Drip Pans.

• Result: A cleaner fire, reduced flare-ups, and the protection of your masonry stonework from grease splatter.

4. Fully Welded Containment

• Depth: 12" Standard Depth.

• Construction: Fully seam-welded firebox. This prevents ash scatter and protects the internal structure of your outdoor kitchen from heat damage.
