Imperial 1020 Broiler Burner W/Air Shutter 22-3/4" X 1" 15-1/4" Tubular Steel

This heavy-duty gas burner is designed to produce a steady, even flame for commercial cooking equipment such as ranges and broilers. It works by directing gas through small openings along a strong steel tube, creating a consistent line of heat that spreads evenly across the cooking surface. With a total length of 22-3/4 inches and a 1-inch diameter body, it provides a 15-1/4 inch active flame zone that helps ensure food cooks evenly without cold spots. Over time, heat, grease, and food particles can clog or damage burner openings, leading to uneven flames, weak heating, or yellow flare-ups. Replacing a worn burner helps restore proper flame shape and improves cooking performance by bringing back clean, steady combustion. This type of burner is commonly used in commercial kitchen equipment like countertop broilers, open-flame ranges, and heavy-duty restaurant cooking stations where reliable high heat is important.
