What our Experts Think
-
Classic charbroiler grilling with enhanced heat distribution
The Globe 15″ Gas Lava Rock Charbroiler (GLGCB15GRK) uses 40,000 BTU burners and lava rocks to radiate heat upward, creating even cooking across the grate and boosting surface searing for burgers, steaks, and grilled proteins. Lava rocks absorb and radiate heat for more consistent results compared with bare burners alone.
-
Flavor‑forward char & flare‑up action
Lava rocks trap drippings and can create sizzling smoke and flare‑ups that add a more intense, slightly smoky char profile to grilled foods — great for kitchens that want standout grilled flavor with visible sear marks.
-
Commercial durability & serviceability
Built with stainless steel double‑wall construction, heavy‑duty reversible cast‑iron grates, and adjustable legs, it stands up to daily use and is easy to clean and maintain in busy prep lines.
-
Flexible field‑convertible design
Ships for Natural Gas with an LP conversion kit included and can be field‑converted to radiant or combination heat options, letting you tailor the heat transfer based on menu and maintenance preferences.
-
Precise manual control & compact footprint
Manual adjustable pilots and a countertop design make this unit a space‑efficient choice for tighter lines while still delivering reliable grilling power and operator control.

Maintenance Tips

Empty and wipe drip trays: Prevent grease buildup to reduce fire hazards and maintain airflow under the charbroiler.

-
Check ignition system: Ensure pilot lights and spark igniters are functioning reliably for consistent start-up.

Wipe exterior surfaces: Clean control knobs, handles, and stainless steel panels to maintain hygiene and appearance.
