Imperial (Middleby) IABA-36 Gas Charbroilers

Imperial IABA-36 Countertop Smoke Broiler

Add authentic wood-smoked flavor and steak-house sear marks without giving up valuable floor space. The Imperial IABA-36 pairs a powerful 6-burner radiant broiler with a built-in slow-smolder smoke system, letting chefs dial in both heat and hardwood aroma right from the line.

Key Features

• Six independently controlled 20,000 BTU stainless steel burners—precise heat exactly where you need it.
• Slow-smolder smoke system with two 7" × 20" slide-out log holders for logs or wood chips.
• Heavy-duty cast-iron radiants & 5" × 21" top grates store heat for intense, even searing.
• 8-1/4" stainless steel splash guard and full-width grease gutter help maintain a cleaner line.
• Tool-free removal of grates, radiants, burners, ash pans, water pans and grease can for fast clean-up.
• Stainless steel front, sides and landing ledge with welded seams for long-term durability.
• Cool-touch cast-aluminum knobs with Valox™ collars protect hands during high-volume service.
• Fully insulated cooktop conserves energy and keeps ambient temperatures in check.

Two Ways to Smoke

• Log Method: Hardwoods slowly smolder in the holders, bathing food in rich, natural smoke.
• Wood-Chip Method: Swap logs for soaked chips to create custom flavor profiles or speed up the process.
