Char Grill

A commercial char grill (or charbroiler) is a heavy-duty cooking appliance used in professional kitchens to grill meat, seafood and vegetables over intense, radiant heat. It delivers the classic char lines and flame-kissed flavour that customers expect from grilled dishes.

They are essentially the same. “Char grill” is the Australian term, while “charbroiler” is commonly used internationally. Both describe gas-powered commercial grills designed for high-temperature searing and grilling.

Most commercial venues prefer gas char grills because they heat quickly, maintain consistent temperature and offer precise burner control. Radiant grills and lava rock grills provide different flavour profiles depending on your cooking preference.

Choose your size based on your peak service demand and available kitchen space.

• 300mm–600mm: Ideal for cafés and small restaurants

• 900mm–1200mm: Best for high-volume venues and steak-heavy menus

• Larger multi-burner models: Perfect for busy commercial kitchens with continuous grilling requirements

Yes. Because char grills produce high heat and smoke, they generally need a compliant commercial rangehood setup that meets Australian ventilation standards. Always check your kitchen’s extraction system before installation.

Char grills are perfect for steaks, burgers, chicken breast, skewers, lamb, fish, prawns, vegetables and other grill-style menu items. They deliver strong searing power and attractive grill marks.
