With a 30,000 BTU burner per 12" section and a 1" thick polished rolled steel plate, this griddle delivers rapid, uniform heat across the surface—thanks to the exclusive “NO COLD” Zone technology.

Built to last, this 18" gas griddle features a stainless steel front, vent, and sides with aluminized steel rear and bottom panels for added durability and corrosion resistance.
