Emberglo Charbroilers, Kebab Broilers & Steamers in Toronto & Canada

Emberglo Charbroilers, Kebab Broilers & Steamers in Toronto & Canada

Emberglo got its start in 1953, when Midco International designed a charcoal free, gas fired broiler for a Chicago restaurant. Still a division of Midco in Chicago, it builds charbroilers, kebab broilers, and countertop steamers. Why choose Emberglo over a charbroiler brand like Vulcan? It's focused on charcoal free broiling for over 70 years, and its gas models use an all ceramic open hearth that glows at over 1600°F. Emberglo charbroilers and kebab broilers come with a 1 year parts and labour warranty, handled by Emberglo's service providers. One standout is Emberglo's exclusive Flaretrol system on models like the Emberglo 31F Floor Model Radiant 36-Inch Kebab Broiler. It briefly cools the hearth bricks to control flare ups, and the burner jets sit along the sides of the hearth so grease can't clog them. We also carry the Emberglo E2436 Electric Countertop 36-Inch Charbroiler and parts like the Emberglo 4585-50 Barbriq Bricks. The broilers and parts are quick ship and usually go out within 1-2 business days, while ES5 steamers typically take 6-8 weeks. Phoenix Food Equipment ships Emberglo from Vaughan across Toronto, the GTA, and the rest of Canada and the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What is the warranty on Emberglo products?

Emberglo's warranty goes through the manufacturer, and repairs are handled by Emberglo's authorized service providers. Charbroilers, kebab broilers, and steamers are covered against defects in material and workmanship for 1 year from the date of original installation. Barbriq bricks, briquettes, and ceramic rods aren't covered, and neither are limed steam generators on the steamers. We can assist with any brand that isn't in-house, so if you have any questions, or your equipment arrives defective, damaged, or not what you ordered, contact us at sales@phoenixfe.ca or 1-833-669-8003.

Can I convert an Emberglo charbroiler into a kebab broiler?

Yes. Emberglo makes kebab conversion kits that turn an existing Emberglo gas broiler into a shish broiler. The 4508-51 kit fits the 25 series, the 4508-52 kit fits the 31 and 41 series, and each one includes skewers, support bars, and brackets. Replacement stainless steel skewers come in sets of 10. If you'd rather start with a dedicated unit, the 25 and 31 series kebab broilers already include ceramic hearth bricks and a set of 10 skewers. Not sure which kit fits your broiler? Contact us with the model number.

Is Emberglo a good brand for commercial charbroilers?

Yes. Emberglo has built charcoal free gas broilers in Chicago since 1953, and every broiler we carry is made in the USA and ETL and NSF certified. Its radiant gas models bring the flavour of outdoor charbroiling indoors with zero recovery time for high volume broiling, and the electric models use ribbed cast iron grates for traditional grill marks. We carry Emberglo gas and electric charbroilers, kebab broilers, ES5 steamers, and replacement parts. If you're not sure which model fits your kitchen, contact us and we'll help you compare options.
