#2991 Commercial Modular Live-Fire Cooking System with Pinch System

NSF Certified | Made in the USA

The #2991 Commercial Modular Live-Fire Cooking System is one of our flagship modular cooking platforms, engineered for chefs who demand exceptional versatility, high-volume production, and authentic wood-fired cooking. 

Designed for restaurants, steakhouses, breweries, wineries, hotels, resorts, catering companies, demonstration kitchens, exhibition kitchens, and commercial outdoor kitchens, the #2991 combines a heavy-duty brick-lined fire table with our Pinch System, creating a fully configurable live-fire cooking system that adapts to your menu, workflow, and cooking style.

Built around an expansive brick-lined fire table, the #2991 combines exceptional heat retention, authentic wood-fired cooking, and the flexibility of the Pinch System to create one of the most versatile commercial cooking systems available. Designed for high-volume production and exhibition cooking, the #2991 allows chefs to build customized cooking zones that adapt to changing menus, service requirements, and cooking techniques.

Every fire table is fully lined with commercial-grade firebrick before the Pinch System is installed, creating exceptional heat retention, even heat distribution, and the durability required for continuous commercial use. Compatible with either wood or charcoal, the #2991 delivers authentic live-fire flavor while giving chefs complete control over their cooking environment.

Pinch System - Modular Cooking System

The Pinch System is our proprietary modular cooking system, built around a series of heavy-duty mounting rails that allow cooking surfaces to be positioned at multiple cooking heights throughout the brick-lined fire table.

Round rod grates, expanded metal grates, steel griddles, hanging rods, warming racks, and optional braseros can be mixed, matched, and repositioned to create customized cooking zones for grilling, searing, roasting, smoking, finishing, and holding food over authentic wood or charcoal fires.

Unlike traditional commercial grills with fixed cooking surfaces, the Pinch System allows chefs to continually reconfigure the grill to match their menu, workflow, and cooking style. As your menu changes, your cooking platform can change with it.

Designed Around the Chef

The #2991 is more than a commercial grill—it's a fully configurable modular fire table cooking platform.

Its expansive brick-lined hearth allows multiple chefs to work simultaneously while configuring independent cooking zones for different temperatures and cooking techniques. Whether preparing premium steaks over glowing embers, finishing vegetables at elevated cooking heights, hanging meats over live fire, or using multiple cooking surfaces at once, the modular Pinch System provides exceptional flexibility throughout service.

The open fire table design also creates a dramatic centerpiece for exhibition kitchens, allowing guests to experience authentic live-fire cooking while watching chefs prepare food over hardwood embers.
