Perfect For

  • Steak houses & BBQ concepts needing charbroil marks fast.
  • High-volume diners that sear, sauté and bake simultaneously.
  • Food trucks & ghost kitchens where every inch of cook line counts.

Intended for commercial use only. When cleaning the charbroiler, do not cover grates with sheet pans; excessive reflected heat may damage the unit and void warranty. Limit oversized cookware (12" +) to the rear grates to prevent front-rail overheating.
