MARENO LAVA ROCK GRILL Gas Operated 400 mm

DescriptionManufactured in Italy to uncompromising European catering standards, the Mareno Gas-Operated Lava Rock Grill (Star 70 Series / Model: NGPL74PG) is a premium, heavy-duty countertop charbroiler crafted entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel. Designed to satisfy the rigorous daily workloads of authentic steakhouses, bustling Mediterranean restaurants, hotel open kitchens, and busy catering facilities, this 400mm-wide workstation brings traditional, smoky BBQ flavor indoors without requiring a massive footprint.Delivering outstanding thermal retention and intense, uniform heat distribution, the unit operates entirely on high-performance commercial gas lines, generating a powerful 10 kW (approx. 34,120 BTU) heating yield. The advanced combustion matrix utilizes specialized stable-flame steel burners seated directly beneath a heavy-duty bed of natural lava rock. Unlike standard radiant gas grills, the porous lava stones act as exceptional thermal batteries—they absorb the raw gas flame, glow red hot, and radiate an intense, even heat upward. When meat fats and marinades drip onto the searing hot stones, they instantly vaporize, enveloping the food in authentic, rich smoke that replicates the unmistakable flavor profile of an outdoor charcoal grill.Measuring a highly optimized, space-saving countertop footprint of exactly 40.0 centimeters wide by 73.0 centimeters deep and 25.0 centimeters high, this low-profile appliance slots seamlessly into modular cooking lines. To provide chefs with maximum control over delicate proteins versus thick steaks, the heavy-duty rod cooking grate features two distinct manual height settings. Moving the grate closer to the stones delivers a harsh, aggressive sear for locking in steak juices, while elevating it creates a gentler ambient zone perfect for grilling fish, poultry, or vegetables without causing aggressive flare-ups.Built for heavy multi-batch daily runtime, this dependable Italian platform delivers exceptional structural longevity and strict operational safety. The gas supply is governed by a precision valve tap equipped with a built-in safety thermocouple and pilot burner; if the flame blows out, the gas cuts off instantly. With smooth, non-porous external paneling and a large, easily removable front grease collection tray, it allows back-of-house teams to execute nightly sanitation routines with total convenience, empowering chefs to scale highly profitable grilled-meat programs with absolute confidence.
