Char Grills

Hospitality Connect lists 171 commercial char grills and broilers for restaurants, pubs, clubs and steakhouses, covering benchtop and stand-mounted gas models from B and S, Cookon and Waldorf.

A char grill cooks over open burners with the food sitting on bars, so fat drips away and the flare gives the char marks and flavour a steak or chop is bought for. Width is the main sizing decision, because it sets how many pieces cook at once, and it follows your peak service rather than an average night. Benchtop models sit on an existing bench or stand and suit a smaller line, while freestanding units become part of the cooking suite. Gas type and extraction have to be confirmed on site.

Char grill care and longevity

• Brush grates after every shift: Build-up of carbonised protein burns off as smoke and produces off-flavours on next service.
• Season cast iron weekly: Light wipe of high smoke-point oil at temperature keeps the seasoning intact.
• Empty grease drawer daily: Overflow on the back is a fire hazard.
• Inspect burner orifices monthly: Clogged orifices give yellow flame and uneven heat.
• Replace warped grates: Bowed grates make uneven contact with protein — replace before they affect plate-up.
