Adcraft BDCTC-24 Black Diamond 80,000 BTU Charbroiler 24″ x 30″ NG

Description

Product Overview

The Adcraft BDCTC-24 Charbroiler is engineered for professional food‑service operations that demand consistent, high‑intensity heat. Featuring a robust stainless‑steel front and side panels that are fully welded, the unit resists corrosion and the rigors of a busy kitchen environment. Each of the cast‑iron burners is rated at 20,000 BTU per hour, delivering a total of 80,000 BTU across a 24‑inch wide by 30‑inch deep cooking surface. The grate is supported by a heavy‑duty steel frame, and the entire assembly rests on adjustable 4‑5 inch legs, allowing precise leveling on uneven countertops. Gas delivery is managed through individual valves for each burner, each equipped with a standing pilot light for reliable ignition, and a 3/4 inch rear NPT gas inlet that can be configured for natural gas or converted to propane in the field. The unit’s dimensions—36 inches wide, 28.75 inches deep, and 19 inches high—make it a compact yet powerful addition to any commercial kitchen layout, while its 240‑pound weight ensures stability during operation. Designed by Admiral Craft, the BDCTC‑24 combines classic craftsmanship with modern efficiency, offering a one‑year parts‑and‑labor warranty that underscores the manufacturer’s confidence in the product’s durability.

Usage

This charbroiler excels in high‑volume cooking scenarios such as fast‑casual restaurants, hotel banquet kitchens, and catering operations where rapid searing and consistent heat are essential. The radiant heat generated by the cast‑iron burners creates a distinctive char and grill marks that enhance flavor and visual appeal, making it ideal for grilling steaks, burgers, chicken, and vegetables. Its compact countertop footprint allows it to be installed on standard kitchen workstations, while the adjustable legs accommodate a range of countertop heights, ensuring ergonomic operation for kitchen staff. The separate gas controls enable chefs to fine‑tune heat distribution across the grate, supporting both high‑heat searing and lower‑temperature cooking for delicate items. Because the unit is field‑convertible, it can be adapted to propane in locations where natural gas is unavailable, providing flexibility for mobile food trucks or temporary event setups. Routine cleaning is straightforward: the stainless‑steel surfaces can be wiped down with standard kitchen cleaners, and the cast‑iron burners are accessible for periodic maintenance to preserve optimal performance.

What maintenance is required for the cast‑iron burners?

The cast‑iron burners should be inspected regularly for soot buildup and cleaned with a soft brush or appropriate degreaser. Periodic removal and cleaning help maintain optimal heat output and prolong burner life. The standing pilot lights should also be checked to ensure reliable ignition.

The adjustable legs allow the unit to be set between 4 and 5 inches above the countertop, which is the standard height for most commercial kitchen workstations. This range provides comfortable access for chefs while maintaining stability during heavy use.
