It cooks through a combination of radiant heat from cast iron radiants and direct conduction through heavy-duty cast iron top grates, producing the char markings and flavour development that characterise properly grilled food. This is a workhorse piece of equipment rather than a decorative one, and it is designed to operate under consistent, demanding service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a busy kitchen, the cast iron construction holds and distributes heat evenly, which helps maintain cooking consistency across the grate during peak service. The slanted cooking surface creates distinct temperature zones, allowing the chef to manage multiple items at different stages simultaneously. Each grate blade incorporates a cast-in grease trough that channels fat forward into a full-width grease gutter and removable drip pan, which reduces flare-up during service and keeps the cooking environment more controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, the design has been thought through with kitchen workflow in mind:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrates, radiant covers, and burners all remove without tools, making end-of-service cleaning straightforward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable reinforced cast iron radiants protect burners from clogging and support consistent heat distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe insulated cooktop construction helps conserve energy during extended service periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy gauge angle iron chassis with stainless steel front, sides, and landing edge supports long-term durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a gas appliance, the CIRB-24 requires a suitable gas supply connection and must be installed in a ventilated kitchen with appropriate extraction overhead.

It is a practical choice for sites running consistent covers where reliable branded char marks and flavour are operationally important. For very high-volume sites with chargrill as a core production station, it is worth discussing whether a wider or higher-output model would better match throughput requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are weighing up whether this unit suits your kitchen layout, gas supply, or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37121809616,"sku":"CIRB-24","price":2177.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/Imperial_IRB-24_Radiant_Chargrill.jpg?v=1548853064"},{"product_id":"imperial-cirb-36-radiant-chargrill","title":"Imperial CIRB-36 Radiant Chargrill | Gas Commercial Chargrill","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Imperial CIRB-36 is a heavy-duty gas radiant chargrill built for continuous commercial use. It operates through a combination of radiant heat and conduction, delivering the high surface temperatures needed to produce clean char markings and properly sealed, flavourful results across meat, fish, and vegetables. The unit spans 36 inches of cooking width and is constructed throughout with heavy-gauge materials intended to withstand the demands of a working professional kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn service, the slanted cooking surface creates natural temperature zones across the grill, giving chefs a degree of control over cook speed without moving product off the heat entirely. The cast iron top grates retain heat well and recover quickly between portions, which matters during a busy cover period when the grill is loaded and cleared repeatedly. The reinforced cast iron radiants are positioned to prevent burner clogging and distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface, reducing the risk of uneven browning or cold spots under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, the design is practical to maintain during and after service:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron grates, radiant covers, and stainless steel burners all remove without tools for cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach grate blade features a cast-in grease trough that channels fat toward the front grease gutter, limiting flare-up during cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA full-width grease gutter and large removable drip pan simplify end-of-service cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulated cook top helps conserve energy during sustained use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel front, sides, and landing edge with welded seams support durability and hygiene standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a suitable gas supply and appropriate ventilation. The unit needs to sit within a properly specified extraction canopy — natural ventilation is not sufficient for a chargrill producing this level of radiant heat and combustion by-product. Space should be allowed around the unit for safe operation and access during cleaning. As with any open-flame grill, local building and gas safety regulations apply, and installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CIRB-36 is well suited to restaurants, steakhouses, pub kitchens, and contract catering operations where chargrilled dishes form a regular part of the menu and throughput is consistent across service. It offers a solid cooking width for medium to high-volume service. Kitchens with lighter or more occasional use may find a smaller unit more practical, while very high-volume or continuous operations may benefit from a larger or multi-burner configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're unsure whether this model is the right fit for your kitchen layout and service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to a purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37121809872,"sku":"CIRB-36","price":2636.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/Imperial_IRB-36_Radiant_Chargrill.jpg?v=1548853064"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/collections\/Imperial_Chargrills.jpg?v=1499965846","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/collections\/imperial-chargrills.oembed","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
