Toastmaster TMRC36 36" Radiant Countertop Charbroiler, 3 Burners, 90,000 BTU
The Toastmaster TMRC36 is the middle size that a lot of kitchens end up needing: wide enough for a real lunch rush, compact enough to share the line with a griddle or fryer. Radiant heat and heavy cast iron grates give steaks, burgers, chicken breasts and vegetables clean, defined grill marks, making it a solid workhorse for diners, pubs, sandwich shops and casual grills.
Three individually controlled 30,000 BTU/hr U-style steel burners, one every 12 inches, add up to 90,000 BTU/hr. That gives you three zones to work with, for example a hot sear zone, a cooking zone and a lower holding zone. The broiler is 36" wide, 26" deep and 15-1/2" high, and weighs about 192 lb.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Three independent zones. Separate controls per 12" section let you match heat to each item rather than cooking everything at one temperature.
- Even radiant heat. Contoured heavy gauge stainless steel radiants spread the burner heat for consistent marks from front to back.
- Grates for every menu item. Heavy-duty cast iron grates flip from a thin searing side to a thick, gentler side, and can be set flat or slanted to let grease run off.
- Less mess behind the line. A large stainless steel water pan runs the full width, and a 2-3/4" tapered stainless splash guard keeps splatter in check.
- Built to take a busy service. Stainless top and front, reinforced aluminized steel sides and a protective bull nose front, with a standing pilot always on.
Choosing your setup
Gas type: it ships ready for natural gas with a convertible regulator, and the kit for LP conversion is included. Choose the gas your kitchen uses above. Need another size or flavor? the same radiant broiler comes in 24" (TMRC24) and 48" (TMRC48) widths, and the TMLC36 is the lava rock version for extra smoky flavor.
