Product Description
The Buffalo freestanding gas chargrill is a natural gas-fired cooking unit designed for consistent, high-heat grilling in commercial kitchens. It runs on two independently controlled burners, allowing operators to manage cooking zones separately — useful when service demands vary across different proteins and vegetables on the same pass.
In a working kitchen, the cast iron grates retain heat well under load, recovering quickly between batches. This matters during a busy lunch or evening service when the grill rarely gets a rest. The ability to run each burner independently also means you can keep one zone at full heat for searing while holding another lower for more delicate items or resting.
From a practical standpoint, the inclined grate design helps fat and cooking juices drain towards the integrated grease collection tray rather than sitting on the cooking surface, which supports both hygiene and ease of cleaning at the end of service. Key operational advantages include:
- Dual independently controlled burners for flexible zone cooking
- Cast iron grates for strong heat retention and consistent char marks
- Inclined cooking surface with integrated grease tray for easier cleaning
- Freestanding configuration for flexible kitchen placement
- Natural gas operation suited to kitchens with an existing gas supply
Being a freestanding unit, it can be positioned on a suitable work surface or equipment stand without requiring built-in installation. That said, like all gas appliances, it must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer and requires adequate extraction overhead. The unit weighs 72kg, so positioning and any future repositioning should be planned accordingly.
This chargrill is well suited to independent restaurants, gastro pubs, and hotel kitchens running regular grill service. It handles a solid volume of covers comfortably. For higher-volume or continuous service operations, it would be worth considering a heavier-duty unit with greater output capacity.
If you're unsure whether this model matches your service volume or kitchen setup, we're happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It's well suited to kitchens running regular lunch and evening service across a moderate number of covers. For sites running very high-volume or near-continuous grill service throughout the day, a higher-output unit with greater burner capacity may be a better long-term fit — worth discussing with us if you're unsure.
- The unit runs on natural gas and must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement in the UK. You'll also need appropriate overhead extraction in place before use. Because it weighs 72kg, make sure the surface or stand you're placing it on is rated to handle that load.
- Yes — each burner is independently controlled, so you can run one side at full heat and leave the other off or on low during quieter periods. This gives you a degree of flexibility on fuel use and means you're not heating the full cooking area when it isn't needed.
