Know before you buy
With 612 square inches of cooking space, this unit is designed to feed up to 20 people at once. It provides enough surface area to handle large batches of breakfast items or multiple main courses simultaneously.
No, the deep fryer is integrated directly into the rangetop setup and functions using the unit's gas burners. You do not need electricity to operate the fryer or any other component of this griddle.
The rear grease management system is designed to channel food debris and oil into a dedicated rear trap, keeping the cooking surface cleaner. It is significantly more efficient than front-facing systems, though you should still empty the grease cup periodically during heavy cooking sessions.
Yes, the cabinet is specifically designed to house your propane tank, keeping it out of sight and protected. It also provides extra storage space for your spatulas, oil bottles, and other grilling accessories.
The hood is designed to protect the griddle surface and retain heat for tasks like melting cheese or steaming, but it can be opened fully while you cook. While it is a permanent fixture for protection, it does not interfere with your ability to use the griddle as an open-top surface.
Despite its size, the unit is equipped with four industrial-strength wheels that make it surprisingly mobile. It is easy to roll across flat surfaces like concrete or wood decking, though you should ensure the wheels are locked once you reach your desired cooking spot.
