Kebab Broilers

Commercial Kebab Broilers in Toronto & Canada

Phoenix Food Equipment's Kebab Broilers collection covers horizontal radiant broilers built for cooking skewered meat over an open flame — the same style of equipment sometimes called a radiant broiler, shish kebab grill, or skewer broiler, and used well beyond just kebabs for souvlaki, satay, yakitori, kofta, and shish taouk, or simply as a high-heat char broiler for skewered vegetables and seafood. Emberglo's 25 and 31 Series come in both countertop and floor models at 26-inch and 36-inch widths, while American Range's ARKB line runs from a compact 24-inch up to a full 60-inch for a high-volume kebab house running dozens of skewers at once. Keep a broiler running longer with genuine replacement parts too — Emberglo's ceramic rods, bar-briqs, support bricks, skewers, and briquettes are all stocked separately so a worn broiler doesn't need replacing outright. Serving Vaughan and the wider GTA — including Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, and Brampton — Phoenix Food Equipment ships kebab broilers nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What is a kebab broiler used for?

A kebab broiler — also called a radiant broiler, shish kebab grill, or skewer broiler — cooks skewered meat and vegetables over an open flame between two rows of ceramic radiants, giving an even char on every side of the skewer at once. It's used for far more than the name suggests: shish kebab, souvlaki, satay, yakitori, kofta, and shish taouk all cook on the same equipment, and many kitchens also use it as a straightforward high-heat char broiler for skewered shrimp, vegetables, or halloumi. Emberglo and American Range both build their broilers to run either countertop or as a standalone floor unit, depending on the kitchen.

What size kebab broiler does a commercial kitchen need?

Width comes down to how many skewers need to cook side by side during a rush. American Range's ARKB line runs from a compact 24-inch — enough for a smaller kitchen adding kebabs to the menu — up to a full 60-inch for a high-volume kebab house running dozens of skewers at once, with 36-inch and 48-inch in between. Emberglo's 25 and 31 Series cover a similar 26-inch to 36-inch range in both countertop and floor-model versions, so the choice also depends on whether the broiler needs to sit on an existing counter or stand on its own.

What are the ceramic rods and bar-briqs in a kebab broiler for?

Ceramic rods and bar-briqs are the parts that actually radiate heat onto the skewers, sitting between the burner and the food, and they wear down with regular use the way a grill's briquettes or lava rock do. Rather than replacing the whole broiler, Emberglo sells these as standalone parts — ceramic rods, bar-briqs, support bricks, and briquettes sized for the 25, 31, and 41 Series — along with replacement skewers, so a kitchen running a broiler daily can keep it performing without a full equipment swap.
