Synergy Grill CharGo STCGO900 Chargrill Oven with Lids & Slow Cook

The Synergy CharGo STCGO900 is a gas-fired chargrill and oven combination unit, designed to extend what a single piece of equipment can deliver on a busy service line. Rather than operating as two separate appliances, the CharGo integrates chargrill cooking above with an oven cavity below, allowing operators to move food between intense radiant heat and a more controlled cooking environment without leaving the station. The unit comes supplied with two lids, slow cook shelves, and a garnish rail, giving a reasonably complete setup out of the box.

In operation, the CharGo is built around Synergy Grill's established burner technology, which burns fuel more completely and generates less flare-up than a conventional open-flame chargrill. This translates to genuine fuel savings over a shift — Synergy quote significant efficiency gains compared to standard chargrills, and the oven element of the unit can further reduce cooking times by finishing product that has been sealed on the grill surface. The SMART controller brings the unit up to temperature quickly at start of service and then holds at a set temperature, which helps with consistency across a long lunch or dinner service. Temperature adjustment is available in 1°C increments, which gives the kitchen team precise control over cooking zones.

The two-zone heat configuration means the grill surface can be managed at different intensities simultaneously — useful when cooking proteins and vegetables alongside each other, or when holding one zone lower during quieter periods to save fuel. The oven cavity opens up the menu considerably: joints, whole birds, ribs, bread, pizza, and smoked preparations are all documented uses of this format.

• Genuine reduction in running costs compared to a conventional chargrill setup
• Consistent temperature holding reduces reliance on chef attention during service
• Oven cavity allows finishing and slow cooking without occupying a separate appliance
• Smoke and char flavour profile retained despite cleaner combustion
• Menu flexibility across grilled, roasted, smoked, and slow-cooked items

The unit runs on natural gas and can be converted to LPG on site, which gives some flexibility for locations without mains gas. At 185kg, this is a substantial piece of kit — installation planning should account for floor loading, adequate service access for the burner assembly, and appropriate extraction overhead. Commercial extraction designed for heavy chargrilling will be required; this is not a unit that can be installed beneath a standard canopy without proper assessment. Width of just over 900mm means it fits a standard single-bay section, but depth and height should be checked against the space available and any pass or overhead shelf arrangements.

The CharGo STCGO900 is well suited to restaurant kitchens where chargrilled food makes up a meaningful proportion of the menu and where the operator wants to reduce the number of appliances needed to deliver that menu. It performs best in sites with consistent, moderate-to-high throughput rather than very high-volume operations where two separate dedicated units might be more practical. For kitchens with lighter chargrilling requirements, a standard single-function chargrill would be a simpler and more cost-effective choice; for very high-volume sites, a larger or multi-unit configuration may be worth considering.
