Gasmax QR-14ELPG 2 Burner LPG Gas Chargrill 354mm | 39Mj Commercial

[GASMAX_MSG] 

The Gasmax QR-14ELPG Commercial Heavy-Duty Two Burner LPG Gas Chargrill (354mm Wide) is an ultra-compact, high-intensity open-flame charbroiling station engineered specifically for Australian boutique cafes, food trucks, mobile catering trailers, burger kiosks, steakhouses, and compact commercial cooklines operating on bottled Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Measuring a slimline 354 mm Wide x 773 mm Deep x 475 mm High and weighing a solid 56 kg, this heavy-duty 350mm-format benchtop chargrill packs two independent cast-iron bar burners (with precision controls spaced every 6 inches) delivering a concentrated combined heat output of 39 Mj/h. Designed for high thermal recovery, defined sear marks, and rich chargrilled flavour across steaks, chicken skewers, burger patties, and vegetables, the QR-14ELPG combines heavy cast-iron radiant heat covers with commercial-gauge stainless steel front and side panels, electronic easy-start ignition, certified thermoelectric flame failure safety shut-off, an ergonomic slide-out bottom grease collection drawer, and heavy-duty adjustable stainless steel legs on a standard 3/4" rear gas connection.

Why Australian commercial kitchens and mobile catering operations choose the Gasmax QR-14ELPG:

• Heavy-duty dual cast-iron bar burners (39 Mj/h total) — two independent commercial burners deliver intense radiant heat and rapid thermal recovery across the 354mm grilling bed, maintaining high searing temperatures during busy meal services.

• Precision independent control every 6 inches — outfitted with two heavy-duty rotary gas control dials spaced every 6 inches, allowing chefs to manage dual micro-temperature zones for searing on one side while gently resting or basting on the other.

• Cast-iron radiant covers for even heat dispersion — dense cast-iron radiants sit directly above the burners to deflect open flames, minimise hot spots, retain heat, and vaporise falling fat drippings to infuse dishes with authentic flame-kissed chargrill aroma.

• Compact 354mm slimline cookline profile — engineered specifically for space-constrained commercial kitchens, mobile food trailers, and tight pass lines requiring full commercial charbroiling power within a minimal bench footprint.

• Full thermoelectric flame failure safety shut-off — certified flame failure valves monitor the burners and instantly isolate the LPG supply if a flame is accidentally extinguished by kitchen cross-drafts, sudden winds, or spills.

• Easy-start ignition system — dependable ignition setup provides fast lighting without relying on external matches or manual taper wands.

• Heavy-duty stainless steel front and sides — robust commercial food-grade stainless steel casing resists continuous kitchen grease, corrosive marinades, cooking salts, and high-impact wear while enabling rapid daily washdowns.

• Slide-out stainless steel oil collector drawer — bottom-mounted grease collection drawer slides out smoothly for quick mid-shift draining of rendered fats, oils, and charred debris.

• Modular stand compatibility (QR-14-SEN) — purpose-built to mount directly on the matching Gasmax QR-14-SEN stainless steel stand (sold separately) to form an ergonomic freestanding cookline suite with an undershelf.

• Adjustable heavy-duty stainless steel legs — sturdy threaded levelling legs ensure a stable footing on uneven benchtops and provide the essential under-chassis airflow clearance.

• Extended 4-year warranty protection — backed by an Australian 2-Year parts and labour commercial warranty, extendable to an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty upon product registration within 14 days of invoice.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To preserve thermal radiant efficiency, prevent grease fires, and prolong burner longevity:

1. End-of-Service Grate Scrubbing: At the close of trade while the chargrill is still warm, scrub the top cooking grates using a commercial wire grill brush to strip away carbonised fats and protein residues. Wipe clean with a cloth lightly coated in high-smoke-point cooking oil to season the cast iron and prevent overnight surface oxidisation.

2. Cast-Iron Radiant Cover Maintenance: Lift off the top cooking grates periodically to inspect the heavy cast-iron radiant covers. Scrape off heavy carbonised crust with a grill scraper to maintain clean radiant heat transfer and avoid uncontained fat flares during busy service.

3. Oil Collector Drawer Cleaning: Slide out the bottom stainless steel grease catchment drawer at the end of every shift. Empty accumulated fats, oils, and debris into a designated grease disposal container, then wash the drawer in a commercial pot-wash sink with warm water and an approved commercial kitchen degreaser.

4. Stainless Steel Body Care: Wipe down the front control panel, knobs, and stainless steel sides using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm soapy water, wiping in the direction of the brushed metal grain. Never dump cold water directly onto hot cast-iron radiants or bar burners, as thermal shock can fracture cast metal components.

5. Burner Port & Aeration Inspection: Regularly check the cast-iron bar burner ports and air shutter collars beneath the radiants. Ensure they remain clear of grease drips, marinade crust, and kitchen dust to ensure clean blue flames and balanced oxygen-to-gas combustion.

Gas Installation, Ventilation & Commissioning Notice

The Gasmax QR-14ELPG is a commercial gas cooking appliance requiring certified trade installation:

1. Licensed Gas Fitter Commissioning: The unit must be installed, pressure-tested, and commissioned by an authorised, licensed gas fitter in strict compliance with current AS/NZS 5601 gas installation regulations, local council health bylaws, and manufacturer specifications. An official gas compliance certificate must be retained to validate warranty coverage.

2. Gas Supply Line & Sizing: Calibrated for universal Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and fitted with a 3/4" rear gas inlet connection. Because the appliance draws 39 Mj/h across its dual burners, ensure LPG bottle manifolds, regulators, and pigtails maintain rated operating pressure without pressure drops when running alongside other commercial kitchen equipment.

3. Exhaust Extraction Requirements: Generating substantial radiant heat, grease-laden vapours, and combustion gases, the unit must be operated directly beneath an approved commercial kitchen exhaust extraction hood compliant with AS 1668.2.

4. Bench Placement & Stand Mounting: When installing on a commercial stainless steel benchtop, the supplied adjustable legs must be fitted to provide essential clearance for the under-bench oil drawer and chassis cooling airflow. Alternatively, mount the unit directly on the dedicated Gasmax QR-14-SEN stainless steel stand. Maintain minimum clearances of at least 150 mm from combustible walls and 50 mm from non-combustible partitions.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial road freight delivery is available across Australia to commercial business addresses with level ground access or loading docks. Due to the unit's substantial 56 kg net weight, cast-iron internal components, and palletised transit requirements, deliveries to residential or non-commercial addresses require a customised tail-lift freight quote. Please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to placing your order to confirm site access details, doorway clearances (minimum 450 mm clear opening recommended), or to add the matching QR-14-SEN stand to your consignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operational advantages of cast-iron radiants over volcanic rock or ceramic briquettes?

Cast-iron radiant covers sit directly over the bar burners to shield them from falling fat drippings while absorbing and radiating thermal energy upward. Unlike porous volcanic rock or briquettes that absorb grease over time and cause uncontrollable grease flare-ups, cast-iron radiants are easy to scrape clean, distribute heat evenly across the cooking zone, and instantly vaporise drippings into smoky flavour without creating acrid smoke.

How does having two control knobs on a 354mm chargrill improve kitchen workflow?

With independent gas valves spaced every 6 inches, kitchen staff can set up two separate heat zones across a narrow 354mm cooking surface. A chef can operate one burner on high heat for flash searing steaks and burgers, while running the adjacent burner on a lower setting to rest proteins or warm skewers, preventing overcooking and saving bottled LPG during off-peak hours.

Why is the flame failure system important for mobile food trucks and outdoor catering?

In mobile trailers, pop-up marquees, and food vans, sudden gusts of wind or drafty service windows can extinguish low-simmer burner flames. The thermoelectric flame failure safety valve monitors the flame temperature and instantly shuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out, eliminating hazardous unburnt gas build up in enclosed mobile spaces.

Can the QR-14ELPG be mounted on a bench without its legs?

No. The supplied heavy-duty adjustable legs must be installed when placing the unit on a benchtop. The legs create the clearance necessary to slide out the bottom oil collector drawer and maintain convective cooling airflow under the chassis to protect underlying bench surfaces.

How do I activate the 4-year warranty coverage?

The Gasmax QR-14ELPG comes standard with a 2-Year commercial parts and labour warranty. Venue operators who register their purchase online with the manufacturer within 14 days of the original invoice date receive an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty extension, providing up to 4 years of comprehensive commercial protection across Australia.
