What our Experts Think  
  • Heavy-duty 36" commercial charbroiling power — The American Range AECB-36 delivers approximately 105,000 BTU total output across 3 cast-iron burners, giving strong, consistent heat for steaks, burgers, chicken, and seafood in high-volume kitchens.
  • Authentic lava-rock flavor system — Natural volcanic lava rocks vaporize drippings to create smoke and flare-up char, producing the classic open-flame restaurant-style grilled flavor customers expect.
  • Even heat distribution for full coverage — Individually controlled “H”-style burners spaced across the 36" width ensure balanced heat zones, allowing multitasking across different proteins at once.
  • Built for rugged commercial durability — Stainless steel front and sides plus a reinforced chassis are engineered for nonstop restaurant use, resisting warping under high heat and grease exposure.
  • Professional grate system for better sear marks — Heavy-duty reversible cast iron grates help create strong branding marks while improving heat retention and food contact consistency.
  • Reduced flare-up design for safer operation — Angled grates and grease channels direct drippings into a removable pan, helping control flare-ups and improving kitchen safety.
  • Efficient cleaning and maintenance — Full-length grease trough and removable components simplify end-of-day cleanup, making it practical for busy grill stations.
  • Ideal for high-output grill stations — The AR/AECB-36 is a strong fit for restaurants needing a dedicated charbroiler line that can handle continuous service without performance drop-off.
