The Ultimate Hybrid: Wood, Charcoal & Gas Santa Maria Built-In Grill, Base Unit # 1082.

Commercial-Grade Performance for the Home Masonry Kitchen

Stop compromising between flavor and convenience. The NorCal Ovenworks Hybrid Santa Maria Grill offers the holy grail of outdoor cooking: the speed of gas combined with the artisanal flavor of wood and charcoal.

Designed for the serious griller who demands versatility, this built-in unit features a heavy-duty firebox and our signature adjustable grate system. Whether you are searing steaks over a roaring red oak fire, slow-smoking ribs over charcoal, or using the gas burners for a quick weeknight meal, this grill does it all. 

Why Choose the NorCal Hybrid?

• True Hybrid Versatility: Unlike standard charcoal grills, this unit features integrated gas burners. Use them to effortlessly ignite your wood logs (no lighter fluid needed!) or to cook purely with gas when you are short on time.

• Precision Heat Control: Master the flame with our classic Santa Maria flywheel. Lower the grate into the fire for a restaurant-quality sear, or raise it high to rest meats and instantly manage flare-ups.

• Built Like a Tank: Constructed in Texas using heavy-gauge 3/16" steel, this firebox is designed to withstand extreme heat cycles without warping.

• Firebox:
  Heavy-duty 14” deep, fully welded firebox with a closed-front design for improved heat retention, control, and a clean, finished appearance.

• Hassle-Free Cleaning: Includes a built-in ash clean-out drawer, making post-cook maintenance quick and easy—a feature rarely found in traditional masonry inserts.
