Built for busy commercial kitchens, the Vollrath CBGHD-18 charbroiler features narrow channels to drain excess fat and reduce smoke, while the wider flat surfaces are perfect for delicate foods like fish. Adaptor bars allow precise heat control for slower cooking, giving chefs flexibility without compromising speed or safety.
Durable stainless steel construction, heavy-duty legs, and zero side clearance make this unit easy to clean and install in tight spaces. The included propane conversion kit, radiant kit, and long-lasting metal knobs make it a reliable choice for high-volume grilling with fast recovery and even heat distribution.


The Vollrath CBGHD-18 18" heavy-duty gas charbroiler is designed for professional kitchens requiring a compact yet powerful grilling solution. Its versatile grill plates offer dual-surface options: one side with narrower channels to drain excess fat and reduce flare-ups, and a flatter side ideal for delicate foods. Chefs can achieve precise cooking thanks to adaptor bars that position the grill plates for slower, controlled heat.
Equipped with high-output 20,000 BTU burners spaced every 6 inches, this charbroiler ensures even heat coverage across the cooking surface. Heat-retaining cast-iron radiants increase cooking volume potential while maintaining consistent results and fast recovery times, making it suitable for high-demand environments.
The stainless steel construction simplifies cleaning and enhances durability. Smaller-width grease trays are easier to handle, while a bull-nose front design prevents burns. Metal knobs are guaranteed for life, and heavy-duty back and side walls contain splashes for safer, cleaner operation.
Installation and maintenance are made simple with a standard ¾” NPT gas inlet, included propane conversion kit, and heavy-duty legs for easy leveling. Optional Lava Rock Kits are available for additional cooking versatility, making the CBGHD-18 a top choice for restaurants, catering kitchens, and other commercial foodservice operations.
