The Black Diamond BDECTC-16 16" Gas Charbroiler is a reliable workhorse designed for professional kitchens seeking durable, radiant heat performance. Powered by natural gas (convertible to LP gas), this countertop charbroiler delivers 30,000 BTUs of even, radiant heat via a single stainless steel burner, giving chefs precise control over cooking temperatures. The manual high/low knob allows experienced cooks to adjust heat levels quickly, making it ideal for applications ranging from searing thick steaks to grilling delicate fish. Its reversible cast iron grates feature two distinct sides—one optimized for dense proteins like burgers and steaks, while the other is perfect for delicate seafood, ensuring versatility without sacrificing grill marks. The grates can also be raised or lowered to modulate heat intensity, and the stainless steel drip tray (removable for easy cleaning) prevents mess, keeping your workspace tidy. Built with a welded stainless steel front and sides, this charbroiler is built to withstand the demands of a busy commercial kitchen while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance.
