Meilern RH24-M 24" Gas Charbroiler is engineered for kitchens that have graduated beyond single-zone cooking and need the flexibility of dual independent burners without sacrificing valuable counter space. Powered by two 35,000 BTU burners (70,000 BTU total), this unit allows chefs to run one zone at high heat for steaks while keeping the other at medium for chicken or vegetables—all on a single, compact 24" footprint. The radiant heat system delivers those signature char marks and smoky flavor that customers expect from a premium grill, while the heavy-duty grates and stainless steel construction ensure years of reliable service. Perfect for growing restaurants, busy food trucks, and catering operations, the RH24-M doubles your cooking capacity compared to a 12" unit, yet remains maneuverable and easy to install with its standard rear 3/4-inch gas connection.
Features & Functions
Dual 35,000 BTU Burners (70,000 BTU Total): Two independent burners provide massive heat output, enabling chefs to cook twice the volume of a single-burner unit.
Independent Dual-Zone Temperature Control: Each burner has its own control valve, allowing you to run different temperatures simultaneously—ideal for cooking steak (high) and chicken (medium) side by side.
Spacious 24" Grilling Surface: Accommodates up to 12–15 burger patties or 4–6 full steaks at once, significantly boosting kitchen throughput.
Radiant Heat Technology with Ceramic/Steel Plates: Ensures even heat distribution across both zones, eliminating cold spots for consistent char and doneness.
Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Grates: Retain heat exceptionally well and create those distinctive sear marks that customers pay a premium for.
High-Temperature Capability: Reaches up to 650°F (343°C) across both zones, delivering restaurant-quality searing for all proteins.
Standardized Rear 3/4-Inch Gas Connection: Simplifies installation and integrates seamlessly into commercial kitchen gas lines.
Enhanced Grease Management System: Dual front-mounted troughs with removable drip trays efficiently channel excess fat away from the cooking surface, minimizing flare-ups and simplifying cleanup.
All-Stainless Steel Construction: Rust-resistant, durable, and easy to maintain—keeps its professional appearance through years of heavy use.
Dual Flame Failure Safety Valves: Each burner has an independent flame failure device, ensuring automatic gas cut-off if a flame extinguishes—doubling your safety protection.
Usage Scenarios
Busy Steakhouses: Run one zone at searing temperature for premium cuts while using the other for finishing or holding.
High-Volume Burger Joints: Cook up to 15 patties simultaneously, cutting ticket times during lunch rushes.
Food Trucks with High Foot Traffic: Double the output of a 12" unit while maintaining the same compact footprint category.
Catering Companies: Grill steaks, chicken breasts, and vegetables simultaneously for events with diverse menus.
Hotels & Resort Poolside Grills: Offer guests live grilling with flexibility for different protein preferences.
Sports Bars & Pubs: Handle both appetizers (wings, skewers) and main courses (burgers, steaks) on separate zones during peak game hours.

FAQ / Customer Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the RH24-M's dual-zone control work in practice?
A: The RH24-M has two completely independent 35,000 BTU burners, each with its own control valve. This means you can set the left zone to 650°F for searing steaks and the right zone to 450°F for grilling chicken or vegetables—all on the same unit, simultaneously.
Q2: How many burgers can I cook per hour on the RH24-M compared to a 12" model?
A: The RH24-M cooks approximately 240–280 burger patties per hour (depending on thickness), roughly double the capacity of the RH12-M (120–140/hour). This makes it the ideal upgrade for growing operations.
Q3: What is the total BTU output, and does each burner need its own gas supply?
A: Total output is 70,000 BTU/h (2 × 35,000 BTU). Both burners connect through a single 3/4-inch rear gas connection—no separate gas lines needed. The internal manifold splits the supply to both burners.
Q4: What are the clearance requirements for installing the RH24-M in a food truck?
A: Maintain minimum 4–6 inches of side clearance from combustible walls and 18–24 inches overhead for exhaust hoods. Ensure your ventilation hood is rated for at least 70,000 BTU to comply with safety codes.
Q5: Can I run only one burner on the RH24-M to save gas during slow periods?
A: Yes. Each burner has an independent control valve, so you can operate just one zone at a time—saving energy and reducing heat output when you don't need full capacity.
Q6: What type of grates does the RH24-M use, and can they be replaced individually?
A: The RH24-M uses heavy-duty cast iron grates that are modular—each section can be replaced individually if needed, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Q7: Does the RH24-M use lava rock or ceramic radiant plates?
A: The RH24-M is equipped with ceramic radiant plates (or optional steel radiants), which provide more consistent heat distribution and easier cleaning than lava rock. Ceramic radiants also last longer and produce less ash/debris.
Q8: What is the weight and footprint of the RH24-M, and can it fit on a standard countertop?
A: The RH24-M weighs approximately 68 kg (150 lbs) and measures 609×728×394mm. It fits comfortably on a standard 24" deep stainless steel countertop, but we recommend reinforced bracing due to its weight and heat output.
Q9: How does the grease management system handle the higher volume compared to a 12" unit?
A: The RH24-M features dual front-mounted grease troughs with larger-capacity drip trays, designed to handle the increased fat runoff from double the cooking surface. Empty and clean the trays every 2 hours under heavy use to prevent overflow.
Q10: Is the RH24-M easy to convert from natural gas to propane?
A: Yes. A gas conversion kit (including replacement orifices and regulator adjustment) is available. Since the RH24-M has two burners, the conversion takes slightly more time than a single-burner unit, but detailed step-by-step instructions are provided.
Q11: What safety certifications does the RH24-M hold?
A: The RH24-M meets CE, CSA, and ETL standards, with dual flame failure safety valves on each burner for maximum protection.
