The Comstock-Castle ELB36-B Gas Charbroiler
The Comstock-Castle ELB36-B is a 36-inch lava-rock charbroiler with cheesemelter, built for char-grilled menus needing plate-finishing capability that need a unit holding production temperature through full service without losing performance. The ELB36-B is engineered for char-grilling proteins over lava rock and finishing plates on the same chassis.
In a real kitchen, the heavy cast iron components hold heat between batches and recover fast under heavy production loads, so the unit keeps pace with a busy line without dropping output.
This is the right call for high-volume char-grilled menus needing plate-finishing capability at the production end of the volume range. If you only need a single-station unit for a prep line, the smaller siblings in the same series cut footprint.
the rated burner output of Gas Output Driving the Cooking Surface
The unit fires the rated burner output across the 36-inch cooking surface, using cast iron burners or radiants that hold heat through wave after wave of cold product. Brass valves with standing pilot let the unit run on gas alone, no electrical hookup needed.
Welded Stainless Steel Body on Adjustable Legs
The ELB36-B body is welded stainless steel with an angle iron and aluminized steel inner frame, set on adjustable stainless feet so the unit levels on any countertop or floor. Welded construction holds up under hot-cold cycling and daily pan abuse where bolted construction works loose after a season of service.
Brass Gas Valves with Standing Pilot, No Electric Hookup Required
Each control runs its own brass gas valve with a standing pilot, holding up against grease ingress where plated-steel valves pit and seize after a year of line service. No electrical hookup means the unit keeps running through a power outage as long as the gas line stays live.
About Comstock-Castle
Founded in 1838 in Quincy, Illinois, Comstock-Castle is America's oldest stove manufacturer still in operation. The company grew from a frontier hardware shop into a grey-iron foundry that helped make Quincy the nation's stove-production hub by the early 1900s. Seven generations later, Comstock-Castle still designs and union-builds commercial cooking equipment in the same Quincy facility, with ranges, griddles, charbroilers, fryers, and modular cook lines configurable from 24 to 72 inches to match your menu. Built to outlast the kitchens that put them on the line.
