Star Ultra-Max® 8160RCBB 60" Radiant Gas Charbroiler, 200,000 BTU

The Star Ultra-Max® 8160RCBB is a 60-inch countertop radiant gas charbroiler with 1,512 square inches of grate area and 200,000 BTU of total input. Cast iron burners deliver 20,000 BTU for every 6 inches of width, and each 6-inch section has its own control knob, so the operator can run hot searing zones next to gentler finishing zones. It runs on natural gas or liquid propane; select the gas type above.

Radiant Heating & Zone Control

Radiant models place heavy-duty radiants between the burners and the grates. The radiants spread burner heat evenly across the cooking surface and vaporize drippings for char-grilled flavor, with less maintenance than a lava rock bed.

The cast iron burners produce 20,000 BTU per 6-inch section with an adjustable valve and standing pilot for each. The high-capacity grates can be set flat or inclined independently in 6-inch sections, so the cook can move product away from the heat or let fat drain forward as needed.

Why Operators Choose It

• 6-inch zones: 10 independently controlled sections with one knob each for precise heat placement.
• High output: 20,000 BTU per 6 inches of width, 200,000 BTU total, from durable cast iron burners.
• Adjustable grates: High-capacity grates set flat or inclined, section by section.
• Clean work zone: 5-inch tapered splash guard and a large-capacity water pan for easier cleanup.
• Operator comfort: Cool-to-the-touch stainless steel bullnose protects the knobs and keeps the front of the line comfortable.
• Built to last: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel body, heavy-duty metal knobs, made in the USA.

Controls

Manual gas valves with standing pilots, one control knob for each 6-inch section (10 total).

Ideal For

Steakhouses, burger and grill concepts, bars, Mexican and Latin kitchens, hotels and caterers that want char-grilled flavor and marks on a countertop unit.
