Asber AERB-48-EM 48 In. Emerald Series Gas Radiant Broiler, Reversible Grates, 160,000 BTU

The Asber AERB-48-EM is the Emerald Series 48 In. countertop radiant broiler for grill stations that char steaks, chicken, and vegetables all service long. 8 flute type stainless steel burners at 20,000 BTU each sit on 6 In. centers, 160,000 BTU total, twice the burner density of a typical charbroiler, so the grate stays hot edge to edge instead of striping hot and cold. Heavy cast iron radiants and grates soak up that heat and hand it back fast between drops.

Reversible Cast Iron Grates With Built In Grease Channels

The double sided grates are the working feature of this broiler: one side profiled for delicate items like fish, the other for hearty proteins, so flipping the grate retools the station in seconds. Asber's exclusive integrated grease channels run on both sides, steering runoff away from the flame, which means fewer flare-ups and a cleaner char instead of a sooty one. Cast iron radiant deflectors below are V shaped and removable, minimizing flare-ups further and lifting out for cleaning.

Burners Every 6 Inches With Independent Pilots

Flute burners on 6 In. spacing give full coverage with rapid recovery under heavy loads, each with its own independently controlled standing pilot, so you can run half the grate on a slow afternoon and light the rest when the rush hits. The stainless body is fully insulated on the front, sides, and bottom, with a 4 In. perimeter splash guard, a 4 In. grease channel feeding a 1 In. stainless tray, a 4 In. landing ledge, Zamak knobs, and an included NG to LPG conversion kit.

Convertible to Char Rock With 12 In. Kits

Every unit accepts the optional lava rock kit in 12 In. sections, so you can convert part or all of the radiant surface to volcanic rock for that heavier char flavor and extra heat retention, without buying a second broiler.

This unit fits restaurant cooklines, food trucks with the clearance for it, and any counter station cooking over radiant heat in volume. If your volume does not justify 8 burners, the line scales from 12 to 72 In. in one-foot steps, and the CRB lava rock kit upgrades any section later. Plan for a 3/4 In. or larger gas line and hood ventilation, with 3 In. of side and rear clearance to combustible construction. Adjustable stainless steel legs set height from 4 to 6 In.
