Fagor 900 Series Countertop Gas Chargrill B-G905 I

The Fagor B-G905 I is a countertop gas chargrill from the 900 Series range, designed for high-temperature cooking in a compact footprint. It runs on natural gas and uses tubular burners capable of reaching up to 400°C — the kind of heat needed to properly char meat, caramelise proteins, and mark seafood and vegetables cleanly without steaming them. The reversible cast iron grills give operators a choice of finish, with one side producing pronounced grill lines and the reverse offering a flatter contact surface for items where a subtler mark is preferable.

In a busy service environment, consistent radiant heat is what separates a capable chargrill from one that recovers slowly and produces uneven results. The tubular burner design on the B-G905 I supports rapid heat recovery between covers, which matters during sustained service periods when the grill is being loaded and reloaded continuously. The front-mounted dial controls allow temperature adjustment without reaching across a hot surface, which is a practical consideration in a tight pass or grill station.

From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:

• Reversible cast iron grills for versatile finish options on the same unit
• Large 130mm splashguards protect adjacent equipment during service
• Front-mounted controls for safe, accessible temperature adjustment
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports routine cleaning
• Compact countertop format suits stations where floor space is limited

Being a countertop unit, installation is relatively straightforward — it requires a stable, heat-resistant surface, an appropriate natural gas connection, and adequate overhead ventilation in line with your kitchen's extraction requirements. At 45kg, it is manageable to position but warrants two people for placement. The unit is designed to integrate with other Fagor 900 Series appliances, which makes it a practical addition to a suited line-up. For very high-volume grill stations running continuous covers across a full service, a wider or heavier-duty freestanding chargrill may offer more cooking area — worth considering at the planning stage.

The B-G905 I is well suited to restaurants, gastro pubs, and hotel kitchens where chargrilling forms a regular part of the menu but does not require a full-width standalone unit. It is a practical choice for operators looking to add a dedicated chargrill to an existing 900 Series suite or to a compact kitchen setup.
