Charbroilers

245 products

Charbroilers cook on grates over an open heat source, giving steaks, burgers, chicken, fish and vegetables grill marks and a char-grilled flavour. Steakhouses, burger restaurants, pubs and grill-focused menus use them. This category covers countertop and floor-standing charbroilers, mainly gas with some electric models, using radiant, lava rock or infrared heat, in widths for anything from a short line to a full grill station.

About commercial charbroilers

Before you buy

  1. Compare heat types: radiant charbroilers are the common, lower-maintenance choice, lava rock adds smoky flavour but needs cleaning and produces more flare-ups, and infrared burners run very hot for fast searing.
  2. Check the grates, since heavy cast-iron grates hold heat and leave wide marks, and adjustable or tilting grates help move grease toward the trough.
  3. Look for a control on each burner section, so the cook can run a hot searing zone beside a cooler finishing zone.
  4. Check how the grease drawer or water pan slides out and how much it holds, since a charbroiler produces a lot of drippings that must be emptied and cleaned out regularly.

Common questions

What is the difference between radiant, lava rock and infrared charbroilers?

Radiant charbroilers heat metal radiants above the burners, which spread heat and vaporize drippings for flavour. Lava rock models heat a bed of rock that holds heat and adds smoke, but it needs more cleaning and replacing. Infrared charbroilers use burners that reach very high temperatures quickly, which suits fast searing.

Do charbroilers need special ventilation?

They are among the heaviest smoke producers on a line, so hood designers usually allow more exhaust for them than for a griddle or range of the same width. Most kitchens place them under a commercial hood with fire suppression; confirm the design with your hood contractor and local fire officials.
