Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →
- Pros: The lava rocks create an incredible char and deep, smoky aroma.
- Cons: Like all lava rock grills, the rocks need replacing periodically.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Gull, a popular seafood restaurant in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to upgrade their grill to cope with the summer rush. Their existing electric grill just wasn't delivering the flavour or speed they needed for their signature grilled fish dishes.
"The Parry PGC6 has been absolutely brilliant. The heat is incredibly responsive, and the smoky flavour it gives our mackerel and sea bass is something our customers comment on all the time. Service is smoother, and the food has never been better."
Robert Miller – Head Chef
Since installing the chargrill, The Salty Gull has seen a 25% increase in sales of their grilled menu items and significantly reduced ticket times during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always ensure the chargrill is placed on a stable, level, and non-combustible surface.
- Installation must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer to comply with UK regulations.
- Check that you have adequate overhead ventilation (e.g., an extraction canopy) in place.
- Before first use, lightly season the cooking grates with oil and heat gently to burn off any manufacturing residues.
Keeping It Going
- Empty and clean the removable fat drainage drawer after every single service to prevent grease build-up.
- Use a wire brush to clean the cooking grates while they are still warm to easily remove food residue.
- Periodically check the lava rocks; brush them clean and replace them when they start to crumble or become overly saturated.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft cloth and appropriate cleaner to maintain its finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main advantage of using lava rocks?
A: Lava rocks heat up and, when meat or fish drips onto them, they create a flavourful smoke that infuses the food with an authentic, smoky barbecue taste that's hard to replicate otherwise.
Q: Does this unit need to be installed by a professional?
A: Yes, absolutely. For safety and regulatory compliance, all commercial gas appliances must be installed, commissioned, and certified by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Q: Can this chargrill be used with LPG gas?
A: This model is configured for Natural Gas as standard, but an LPG version is typically available. Please ensure you Select the correct gas type for your business's supply when ordering.
Q: How often do the lava rocks need to be replaced?
A: This depends on usage, but generally, we recommend replacing them every 6-12 months. You'll know it's time when they start to break down or become permanently saturated with grease.
Q: Is this a freestanding or countertop unit?
A: The Parry PGC6 is a countertop unit, designed to sit on a suitable, sturdy work surface or refrigerated base. A compatible stand can also be purchased for a freestanding setup.
Q: What is piezo ignition?
A: Piezo ignition is a simple and reliable manual ignition system. You turn the gas on and press a button, which creates a spark to light the pilot flame, removing the need for matches or lighters.
Q: How do the dual zones work?
A: The chargrill has two separate burners, each with its own control knob. This allows you to set two different temperatures on the grill, perfect for cooking different types of food simultaneously.
Q: What is the best way to clean the stainless steel body?
A: For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth with warm, soapy water or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches.

Explore more from ParryThe Secret to Flavour: What Does a Flame Failure Device Do?
Ever wondered what the 'flame failure device' is all about? It’s one of the most important safety features on any commercial gas appliance, and it’s brilliantly simple. Think of it like a vigilant lookout for your gas supply. A small sensor, called a thermocouple, sits in the pilot flame. If the flame is accidentally blown out by a gust of wind or a spillage, the thermocouple cools down instantly. This change in temperature sends a signal that immediately shuts off the gas valve, stopping dangerous, unlit gas from filling your kitchen. It’s a non-negotiable safety net, giving you complete peace of mind so you can focus on the cooking.
