Stalgast Lava Gas Grill Type V Grid for Professional Kitchens

A lava gas grill heats a solid bed of volcanic rock with a gas burner beneath. The rocks absorb the heat and radiate it evenly across the cooking surface, giving the food the sear and flavour of an open flame without direct contact with the gas jets. This method spreads the heat steadily and reduces flare-ups from dripping fat, making it a consistent choice for grilling meat and vegetables in a professional kitchen.

The operator lights the grill by opening the gas supply, pressing the ignition button, and holding it until the flame safety device confirms a steady burn. Once the rocks reach the set temperature, the adjustable thermostat maintains the heat between 120 and 300 °C. The grill is loaded with food directly onto the hot rocks or onto a grid placed above them. The smooth control knob allows fine adjustments to the flame, so the operator can switch from a high sear to a gentle finish without moving the food.

The grill is built from stainless steel, including the body, front panel, and adjustable feet. The front panel is laser-engraved for a permanent, legible label. Four feet, each adjustable by 45 mm, level the unit on uneven floors. A flame safety device cuts the gas supply if the flame goes out, and a 230 V generator powers the ignition and safety systems.

The 16 kW power rating means the grill draws a heavy load on the gas supply, so it requires a dedicated G30 (3B/P) connection at 37 mbar. The 230 V electrical supply runs the generator, which is a separate circuit from the gas line. The 96 kg weight keeps the grill stable during use but requires two people or a trolley to move it. The 800 mm width, 700 mm depth, and 850 mm height fit a standard worktop space, leaving room for a splashback and extraction above.

Cleaning involves brushing the rocks to remove food debris and wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. The adjustable feet can be removed for thorough cleaning underneath. The grill is supplied as a single unit with no variants or additional configurations.

The catalogue places this model in the gas cooking section under professional grills.
