Powerful Burners

Boasting six powerful 40,000 BTU stainless steel U-shaped burners to heat your lava briquettes, this unit evenly distributes the heat toward your food while catching the drippings to create that unmistakably smoky “outdoor barbecue” scent and flavor.

Reversible Cast Iron Grates

Give your burgers and steaks tantalizing grill marks with these long-lasting, reversible cast iron grates. They are easily removed, and have angled sides to help direct oil to the drip tray and prevent clogging. The top grates have a thin side that's perfect for searing and a thick side that's great for more delicate foods.

Lava Briquettes

The included lava briquettes are great for adding extra flavor to your menu items. They are heated by the burners in your grill and then evenly distribute that heat across the cooking surface while also catching drippings to create a smoky, savory flavor your customers will love.

Standing Pilot

The standing pilot light is great for instant ignition so you are always ready to light your burners and begin cooking.

Waste Tray

Conveniently removable, this unit's (2) waste trays collect grease and food debris throughout the day making cleanup a breeze.

Adjustable Feet

These adjustable feet allow you to customize your countertop griddle to best fit your needs and accommodate the space in your kitchen.

Manual Controls

Each burner includes its own On / Off dial to make it easy to control the heat on your cooking surface. The bright red lettering makes it easy to see when a griddle is in use.

Rear Gas Connection

The 3/4" gas connection ships ready to connect to a natural gas supply. For added versatility, a liquid propane orifice kit is also included for simple field conversion.

Back and Side Splashes

With back and side splashes to protect your walls and counters, you will maintain a safe and clean work environment. Plus, the durable stainless steel construction is easy to clean and maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

I see that this gas unit is "field-convertible." What does that mean?
Gas equipment is factory-set to use either natural gas or liquid propane. Field-convertible equipment allows your unit to accept the other gas type (so for example a natural gas unit could be converted to use liquid propane), but this conversion must happen before it is used.

For safety reasons, a qualified service professional should perform the conversion. Your equipment’s warranty may require that such conversions be done by a professional, and failure to do so may void warranty coverage.

We recommend that you communicate with your installer to also arrange for the gas type conversion at the time of installation.
Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you’ll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.

This charbroiler is really bad quality.! We have used it for 8 months and it's falling apart. Contacted customer service and they basically said it's our fault because we don't clean it well. (when they don't even know how it looks) very disappointed. Stop selling this stuff

I’ve had this for about 10 months now and I wish I would of researched better. I have changed the rocks, rotated them and cleaned it as instructed and the grill has hot spots. I cannot cook on 1/3 of this grill because no matter what it burns the food. The other 2/3 of the grill is fine but one part is not. So I cannot cook more than 3 burgers at a time.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you did not prefer this product. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.

Only used for 3 months and the flames started to fly out the front of the unit where the knobs are. The unit was running hot and wasnt working right from the start. Now the whole front of the unit is burnt and peeling. Was professionally installed for the restaurant and deep cleaned out once a week. Do not waste your money and now time tryimg to deal with this issue and get some resolution. Companies should stop selling junk as it it is also dangerous and a hazard. What a headache

Thank you for your review, Linda! Our Customer Solutions team has been in touch with you about this charbroiler. It is important for the installing technician to use a PSI regulator appropriate to the site conditions where the unit is installed.

We owned a cafe a few years back and we always wanted one of these Charbroilers, but we didn't have enough room under our vent hood for it. We now cook at lot at home on our back deck, so we decided now was the time to get on of these bad boys, and we are soooo glad we did!!! It's worth every penny if you are a serious griller and love the char broil flavor. Just be prepared that this is the real deal, and not one of the local hardware store grills. We had a little bit of trouble hooking it up to our propane bottle, but with the help of a friend who is a certified technician, and calling the help line for CPG, we got it going. We were concerned about windy conditions messing with the burners or pilot lights, but Read More

This is a fabulous broiler. It is very high quality. The packaging is excellent and very secure. The heating is even, unlike a Globe unit. The char-briquette grates are HEAVY cast iron. When you adjust the mixer, place the the front cover back on and check the combustion. The front cover affects the airflow to the mixer. The Propane conversion is simple. Be aware that the price does NOT include a shipping charge. Having said that it is well worth the delivered price to me.

Great price; however, the grate holding the lava briquettes disintegrated in less than four months. Customer service was nice, so we will see how much they charge me to fix this, if anything. The unit also runs hot.

The Charbroiler is the perfect size for my food truck! It was easy to hook up and has a great flame. the only down fall with it is you need to unscrew the burners and the plate to give it a full cleaning.

Disappointing Experience – Poor Quality I purchased this item about a year ago. Within the first week of using it, the griddle cracked, though I was sent a replacement for that part. Unfortunately, after a year of occasional use, the entire bottom section ended up breaking and melting. The build quality is extremely poor, and overall, this has been the worst charcoal grill I’ve ever owned. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, long-lasting grill.

Thank you for your review, Muhammet! Our Customer Solutions team has been in contact with you - if you have any further questions or concerns on this order, we are happy to assist!

Have been using it for few months and it's falling apart. The Lava Briquette Rack has melted. Parts of the hill are super hot which is very hard to cook big pieces of meet. Only 1/3 of the hill is usable.

Thank you for your review, Yaser! We are sorry this charbroiler has not worked well for you. Please note, replacing the lava rocks on a regular basis and utilizing a routine cleaning schedule to remove grease will extend the lifespan of this charbroiler.

O i dont know where to begin. HORRIBLE grill! Dont waste your money. I purchased this for a brand new store i just opened few months ago. Automatically from the start i had issues. I contacted webstaurant store and fine they did what they could and the item was honored as defective. Then they sent me another one again same problems with this one. So i came to a conclusion its not defective its just poorly made with very very cheap materials. It came to the point where i thought my store was going burn. The very thin metal that comes under the burners is completely melted and now all the food gets stuck on that and makes a huge fire.

We appreciate your review, Selma. We wish this product would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.

We bought this to replace a very old, huge char broiler and we love it! It heats up quickly, is semi easy to keep clean with nightly wire brush downs. We did have to replace a burner after only 1 year, but it was the "favorite burner" on the char broiler. The burners are not cheap either! We now have a backup burner if it happens again. We also have extra briquettes on hand as well. The other thing is that some of the lower grates that hold up the briquettes have cracked. They still hold up the briquettes, but we didn't think that after a year we would be replacing things on it?! We do like the size and performance of the char broiler though.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry this didn't meet all your expectations. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.
