Stop sacrificing yield for consistency. This charbroiler delivers concentrated radiant heat and robust grill performance for high-volume kitchens needing reliable searing and efficient throughput. Since 1998, it has combined 40,000 BTU output with a compact 12" cooking surface for repeatable results in limited spaces.
#@@# Compact Footprint#@#
Place it on standard worktops to add charbroiling capacity without reconfiguring line flow. The 12" width and 33.25" depth optimize counter space while maintaining full commercial performance for kitchens, bars, and institutional foodservice.
#@@# Controlled Heat Delivery#@#
Manually adjust heat across a 40,000 BTU system to match cooking needs for steaks, poultry, and vegetables. Stainless steel burners with standing pilot ignition ensure stable flames and reduce recovery time between cycles.
#@@# Cast Iron Radiants#@#
Cast iron radiants transfer intense, even heat to the cooking surface, promoting consistent sears and defined grill marks. They also protect burners from grease and extend service intervals in continuous-use environments.
#@@# Two-Position Grid#@#
Choose flat or tilted grid configurations to manage grease and product contact. The reversible cast iron grid supports direct searing or angled drainage, reducing flare-ups and simplifying turnover during peak service.
#@@# Serviceable Construction#@#
Quickly access internal components through the stainless steel front and removable crumb tray, minimizing downtime for cleaning and maintenance. The design meets CSA and NSF certifications, ensuring compliance and simplifying inspections.
#@@# Installation Versatility#@#
Mount the unit as a countertop appliance with 4" adjustable legs for proper clearance and level operation on uneven surfaces. Liquid propane operation supports facilities without natural gas, offering flexible kitchen layouts.
