The Counterline 18" Heavy Duty Outdoor Gas Griddle is engineered for serious performance in catering, outdoor kitchens, and mobile foodservice environments. Designed with precision and durability in mind, it features a powerful 30,000 BTU burner per 12" section (available in thermostatic or manual control models) and a 1" thick polished rolled steel plate for optimal heat retention. With "Insta-on" thermostatic controls offering temperature settings from 200°F to 550°F, and an imbedded load-sensing thermostat, you get precise and consistent cooking across the entire surface—thanks to the exclusive “NO COLD” Zone technology.
