Elangrill 16P-ELBA Gas Chicken Grill for Professional Kitchens

A vertical gas chicken grill rotates poultry on stainless steel spits over direct heat, browning the skin evenly while basting the meat in its own juices. The heat rises from the gas burners below, cooking the chicken through without drying it out, while the rotation ensures every side receives the same exposure. This method locks in flavour and produces a crisp, golden finish that static grilling cannot match.

The operator loads each of the four tubular spits with prepared chickens, securing them with the spit forks. Each spit is controlled independently, allowing different cooking times or temperatures for mixed batches. The glass door closes to contain heat and grease, while the interior light lets the chef monitor progress without opening it. Once the chickens reach the desired colour and internal temperature, the spits are stopped, the door opened, and the birds removed for resting or carving.

The grill's frame is built from ribbed and reinforced stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to withstand the high temperatures and grease of a working kitchen. The Low-E tempered glass door resists thermal shock and provides a clear view of the cooking process. A removable fat collection bucket beneath the spits catches drippings, simplifying cleaning and reducing flare-ups.

Four tubular stainless steel spits, each 760 mm long and 12 mm square, rotate via a 230 V motor that runs quietly and reliably. The motor's voltage matches the standard UK single-phase supply, so the grill plugs into a dedicated circuit without requiring special wiring. The 14 kW gas input provides enough heat to maintain consistent temperatures even when all four spits are fully loaded, making it suitable for small to medium-scale production.

The grill's footprint of 921 mm wide, 391 mm deep and 818 mm high fits into a compact worktop space, leaving room for preparation and plating alongside. The weight, though not stated, is substantial enough to keep the unit stable during operation, while the stainless steel construction allows it to be moved with a trolley when necessary.

Cleaning follows from the materials and construction: the stainless steel surfaces wipe down with a damp cloth, the glass door is cleaned with a non-abrasive glass cleaner, and the fat collection bucket is removed, emptied and washed after each service. The spits and forks are dishwasher-safe, and the motor housing is sealed to prevent grease ingress.

The Elangrill 16P-ELBA gas chicken grill is part of the Elba series, designed for small and medium-scale catering operations where space is limited but output must remain consistent.
