Cookshack’s thermostatically-controlled pellet-fired charbroiler gives the cook the advantages of the consistency of a gas grill and the flavor of a wood grill, while eliminating the headaches of a wood grill.
The Cookshack Charbroiler, developed in early 2009, is the first pellet-fired charbroiler on the market. It is fueled by 100% food grade wood pellets and requires only a small amount of electricity to operate its pellet cooking system. The Cookshack Charbroiler is intended to replace traditional gas or wood charbroilers used by restaurants for preparation of grilled meats.
Most restaurants prepare grilled meats over a gas grill commonly known as a charbroiler. While this method of preparation gives consistent results, it does not add the wood smoke flavor that people love. In an attempt to solve this problem of lack of flavor, some restaurants use log-burning wood grills, but these grills are difficult to operate and results are inconsistent. Cookshack’s pellet-fired charbroiler cooks with the consistency of a gas grill and the flavor of a wood grill.
Anyone who can cook on a gas grill can cook on a Cookshack Charbroiler.
Wood log grills require that the cook not only cook the food, but manage a live fire while doing it. It’s impossible to maintain a consistent temperature. As the fire dies down and new logs are added, temperature fluctuations naturally occur. If the cook has been cooking steaks at 800F and the temperature drops to 600F, the cook has to have the skill to know that this has happened and adjust cooking times accordingly. This takes experience and know-how that take time to learn. Employee turnover becomes an even bigger pain in the neck when your experienced grill cook leaves! The Cookshack Charbroiler’s thermostatically-controlled pellet-cooking system keeps the grill cooking at a consistent temperature while giving meats the desired wood grilled flavor.
The Cookshack Charbroiler is safe to use. The front loading hopper keeps the cook’s hands away from the hot grill surface while adding pellets.
Unlike some gas grills which use lightweight cast iron grates, the Cookshack Charbroiler is equipped with heavy duty cast iron grills which distribute heat evenly, eliminating hot and spots. During test cooking, the grill surface maintained temperature at +/- 10F.
Food grade wood pellets are readily available, take up little space, and can be stored inside, unlike the big, dirty logs required by wood grills. The ash resulting from pellets is minimal and can be safely and quickly disposed of without the risks associated with large amount of hot ashes from wood logs. Employees are not in danger of being burned, and dumpster fire danger is eliminated.
Cookshack is the leader in pellet-fired cooking equipment for commercial markets. Having manufactured Cookshack brand of electric smoker ovens for 50 years and the Fast Eddy’s by Cookshack brand of pellet-fired smokers for 7 years, Cookshack has the unique expertise to develop the first pellet-fired charbroiler for the commercial cook.
Cookshack’s history of delivering quality smoke-cooking equipment for over 50 years is equaled by its customer service philosophy of solving customer problems quickly and skillfully. Customers are served by well-trained staff who know customers by name, not as “accounts”; a website with a customer-driven knowledgebase; and easy access to the company through a toll free phone number and email.
For the first time, the professional cook can grill meats over 100% wood heat and smoke with consistent results and the sought-after, well-loved flavor that the heat/smoke combination gives. Industry-leader Cookshack delivers the first 100% wood burning pellet-fired commercial charbroiler that gives the cook the capability of grilling consistently flavorful meats while completely eliminating the problems of lack of flavor, heat inconsistency, fuel storage, and ash disposal associated with other grills.
