Carter-Hoffmann EquaHeat™ BB1300 Banquet Cabinet

Keep every guest plate hot, fresh, and perfectly timed. The EquaHeat™ BB1300 combines Carter-Hoffmann’s legendary construction with a high-performance removable heater, giving banquets, hotels, and catering operations the flexibility to serve up to 120 covered 8¾"–11" plates at once— whether you’re plugged into a 120 V outlet or relying on canned fuel in the field.

Why You’ll Love It

• Dual heat options – 1,500 W electric heating system or built-in canned-fuel drawers for off-site events.
