Ask a Question About This Product
This vertical gas grill cooks skewered kofte, adana kebab, and shashlik across 2 rows of 10 skewers each. The 4 kW lava rock burner system delivers traditional charcoal flavour in kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, and mobile catering operations. Operators position meat vertically and rotate skewers manually during service.
Commercial Application
Vertical configuration reduces floor footprint in narrow kitchen layouts. Skewers hang above the lava rock bed, which radiates heat upward while dripping fat vaporises on contact. This produces charcoal-style char without open flame exposure to meat surfaces.
During peak service, operators cook 20 skewers simultaneously and replace finished portions as orders arrive. The standing position allows front-of-house grilling in open kitchen formats. Lava rocks retain heat between batches, maintaining consistent cooking temperature across extended service periods.
Key Operational Advantages
- 20 skewer capacity across dual rows supports continuous batch rotation during high-volume service
- Lava rock bed distributes radiant heat evenly while vaporising drippings for smoke flavour
- Vertical burner placement concentrates heat zone, reducing wasted energy compared to horizontal grills
- 70 kg welded steel frame withstands repeated thermal cycling in commercial duty cycles
- Manual skewer rotation gives operators direct control over char intensity and doneness
- Removable drip tray collects excess fat below lava rock level for end-of-service cleaning

Frame and cooking chamber use commercial-grade stainless steel and welded steel construction. The lava rock bed sits in a steel tray above the 4 kW gas burner assembly. Skewer supports are fixed-position steel rods designed for repeated insertion and removal under heat.
- Stainless steel cooking chamber resists corrosion from fat vapour and cleaning agents
- Welded steel frame at 70 kg provides stable base during skewer loading and rotation
- Commercial gas burner rated for continuous operation in high-turnover kitchens
- Removable lava rock tray simplifies replacement and deep cleaning between shifts

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this grill operate on LPG or natural gas?
A: The unit ships configured for natural gas. LPG conversion requires a regulator and jet kit, which TurcoBazaar supplies on request. Consult local gas fitters for final connection and pressure testing.
Q: What is the maximum meat load across all 20 skewers?
A: Each skewer holds approximately 150–200 g of formed kofte or cubed meat. Total capacity is 3–4 kg when all positions are loaded. Cooking time depends on meat thickness and desired char level.
Q: How does the lava rock burner system work?
A: The gas burner heats lava rocks to radiant temperature. Dripping fat vaporises on contact with the hot rocks, creating smoke and flavour. Rocks distribute heat evenly across the skewer field.
Q: Is this grill suitable for food truck installation?
A: Yes, provided the truck has adequate ventilation and gas supply with pressure regulation. The 50 × 75 cm footprint fits standard food truck prep areas. Secure the 70 kg unit to the floor using bracket mounts.
Q: How is the drip tray cleaned after service?
A: Remove the lava rock tray first, then slide out the drip tray from below the burner assembly. Wash with commercial degreaser and hot water. Replace lava rocks when they become saturated with carbon buildup.
