Product Description
The Buffalo freestanding gas chargrill is a natural gas-fired unit built for consistent, high-heat grilling in a commercial kitchen environment. It runs on two independently controlled burners, which allows operators to manage separate cooking zones simultaneously — a practical advantage when you're working across different proteins, vegetables, or temperature requirements on the same pass.
Cast iron grates are the right choice for this type of work. They retain heat effectively under load and recover well between batches, which matters during a busy lunch or evening service when the grill has little downtime. The ability to run each burner at a different intensity also means one zone can hold a high sear heat while the other works at a lower temperature for more delicate items or resting.
The inclined grate design helps fat and cooking juices drain away from the cooking surface towards an integrated grease collection tray, which supports both hygiene standards and end-of-service cleaning. 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 channelling fat to an integrated grease tray
- Freestanding configuration — no built-in installation required
- Natural gas operation suited to kitchens with an existing gas supply
As a freestanding unit, it can be positioned on a suitable work surface or equipment stand without requiring a built-in fit. That said, all gas appliances must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and adequate overhead extraction is essential. At 72kg, positioning should be planned carefully — moving the unit after installation is not straightforward.
This chargrill suits independent restaurants, gastro pubs, and hotel kitchens running a regular grill section. It handles a solid volume of covers comfortably through a typical service. For sites running continuous high-volume grill output, it would be worth exploring a heavier-duty model with greater output capacity before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It handles a solid volume of covers comfortably through a typical restaurant service, including back-to-back sittings. The cast iron grates recover heat well between batches, which helps maintain consistency through a full evening. For sites running a very high volume of continuous grill covers — or a dedicated grill section with little downtime — it would be worth discussing whether a heavier-duty unit better matches the demand.
- As with all gas appliances, connection must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement, not optional. You'll also need adequate overhead extraction in place before the unit goes into service. The chargrill is freestanding, so it doesn't require built-in installation, but at 72kg it should be positioned thoughtfully as moving it after the gas connection is made is not straightforward.
- The unit as supplied is configured for natural gas. LPG conversion may be possible depending on the manufacturer's provisions for this model, but this isn't something to assume — it's worth confirming with us before ordering if your site runs on LPG rather than mains gas.
