Split Argentine Grill Kit with Rear Brasero | 60" x 32" | Base Unit #5002
The NorCal Ovenworks Unit #5002 is the definitive choice for the serious live-fire enthusiast. Designed specifically for large masonry fireboxes, this Split Argentine Grill Kit combines traditional South American technique with heavy-duty American engineering and rock-solid, anchored installation.
Master your fire with a dual-zone setup that allows for total heat versatility. Whether you are searing at high temperatures on one side or slow-roasting delicate proteins on the other, the independent lifting mechanisms provide the precision required for world-class BBQ.
The Argentine Method
True Argentine grilling is about the embers. The integrated Rear Brasero sits behind the cooking surface, allowing you to burn logs down into clean, glowing coals. Simply pull the fresh embers forward under the grates as needed to maintain a steady, flavorful heat source without the risk of acrid smoke or grease flares.
Anchored Masonry Integration
Our signature Countertop Flange and Secure-Bolt design makes installation into your custom outdoor kitchen both straightforward and permanently secure. The frame rests directly on your masonry surfaces, supporting the unit on the countertop edges for a clean, professional "drop-in" look.
For maximum stability and safety, this unit features a multi-point anchoring system. The primary structural vertical supports (two side frame uprights and the center frame upright) each feature a three-point bolt-down cluster on the bottom, allowing you to securely anchor the main frame to the firebox floor. Additionally, the side flanges include integrated bolt points, providing a horizontal anchor to the counter edge. This combination is engineered to last a lifetime, creating a sturdy, fixed grilling station.
