Vulcan 36" Salamander Gas Infrared Broiler
The Vulcan 36IRB 36" Heavy Duty Gas Infrared Salamander Broiler is a countertop or range-mount gas-fired broiler designed for finishing, browning, glazing, melting, and toasting in K-12 cafeterias, healthcare foodservice, correctional kitchens, and restaurants that need high-intensity top heat with the throughput advantages of gas. Two ceramic infrared burners rated at 15,000 BTU/hr each deliver 30,000 BTU/hr of total input across the 27-1/2" x 13" chrome-plated broiling grid, with dual heat controls that split the cavity into independently managed cooking zones — so a cook can crisp cheese on one half while holding a sauce reduction on the other without cross-heat interference.
Improved temperature control ranges from 250°F to 800°F at the rack, and a cool-to-the-touch knob on the carriage lever positions the broiling grid to one of six height settings without gloves — giving cooks fast, precise control over sear intensity throughout service. Ceramic infrared burners deliver instantaneous, uniform radiant heat that penetrates product surfaces faster than conventional gas burners, reducing finish times and improving throughput during peak service. A standing pilot ignition system provides reliable, immediate light-off without an electrical connection, and a heavy-duty chrome-plated grid stands up to daily commercial abuse.
Construction is all stainless steel — front, top, and sides — for a durable, easy-clean exterior, and a removable full-width spillage pan pulls out for fast cleanup between shifts. The 36IRB ships with a 3/4" top gas connection and a pressure regulator (natural gas 5.0" W.C. / propane gas 10.0" W.C.) and is available in natural gas (36IRB-N) and propane (36IRB-P) configurations. Optional accessories including wall-mount brackets, 4" legs with adjustable feet, a stainless steel reinforced back riser for range-mount installation, a range inter-plumb kit, and a stainless steel back panel let you configure the broiler for above-range, wall-mounted, or countertop installations. CSA design certified, NSF listed, and backed by a one-year parts and labor warranty.
