Split Argentine Grill Kit for Masonry Fireboxes | Base Unit #099
The Base Unit #099 Argentine Grill is the complete mechanical core for custom masonry fireboxes. Engineered for professional-grade outdoor kitchens, this heavy-duty Argentine grill kit features dual adjustable grates and integrated rear braseros for precision live-fire cooking.
The Architecture of Authentic Argentine Grilling
The NorCal Ovenworks approach to the Argentine Grill centers on superior heat management and structural durability. By utilizing a rear brasero (ember maker), this wood-burning grill allows you to burn logs down into clean, glowing coals, which are then raked forward under the grilling surface.
-
Precision Dual-Zone Control: Two independent grill grates allow you to manage separate temperature zones simultaneously—perfect for searing steaks on one side while slow-roasting vegetables on the other.
-
Signature Flare-Up Protection: Our Stainless Steel V-Grates are precision-slanted to channel grease away from the fire and into integrated drip pans. This ensures a cleaner wood-fire grilling experience with zero bitter charring.
-
Industrial Build Quality: Available in a Black Steel frame with stainless surfaces or All-Stainless Steel construction, this grill insert is designed to withstand the thermal stress of daily professional use.
