Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

My business is at a high elevation; does this change anything when I order gas cooking equipment?

Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you’ll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.

What size meat cone should I use?

The suggested maximum diameter of the meat cone should be around 11 inches.

The broiler works, but the nobs are on the right side and with the part that shields the heat to go back towards the meet, it becomes difficult to turn the nobs that control the heat. Also they are backwards. On is off and off is on, and adjusting the temperature is difficult at best. It is an on or off situation. Sadly I am going to have to return this as we can’t make el-pastor on this..

I like this vertical broiler. It has taken my passion for cooking to another level. The heat it produces gets so hot! It’s a game changer for me. The heat shields are a bit cumbersome so I don’t use them. Also, I don’t know why yet, (had it for less than 4 months) but sometimes one of the ceramic plates turns off and makes a weird noise so I close the valve. All I got to do is turn them all off and reignite and we back in action!

Thank you for your review, Ozcan! We are sorry this product has not worked well for you. We've confirmed with the manufacturer that positioning the control knob to the 6 o'clock position achieves the high setting. Please note that turning the knob all the way to high may inadvertently turn off the unit. We're currently addressing this issue.
