The Venancio O36SB is a 36-inch commercial gas salamander broiler built for professional kitchens. It runs on natural gas and uses two infrared burners to deliver powerful, focused heat. Each burner can be controlled separately, giving you more flexibility when cooking different items at the same time. The broiler lights easily with a standing pilot ignition and comes with heavy-duty nickel-plated racks that can be set to four different height positions. A full-width grease deflector and a large drip pan keep things clean and make maintenance simple. The stainless steel front and sides are tough, easy to wipe down, and built to hold up in a busy kitchen. Best of all, it runs entirely on gas — no electrical hookup needed.
