Dukers DCGM12 12 inch countertop manual gas griddle with single burner control and polished steel plate

Product Description

The Dukers DCGM12 is a countertop gas griddle with one 29,000 BTU burner beneath a 12-inch wide cooking surface. It suits a line where griddle work is a side station rather than the main event — a breakfast counter, a food truck, a bar kitchen turning out smash burgers and quesadillas next to a fryer.

3/4-inch polished steel plate, 20-1/2 inch depth

The cooking plate is 3/4-inch thick polished steel measuring 11.85" x 20.50". Plate thickness is what makes a griddle usable under load: a thicker plate banks more heat, so covering it with cold protein does not collapse the surface temperature and stall the cook. Three-quarter inch is the practical middle ground — it comes up to temperature faster from cold than a 1-inch plate while holding far steadier than thin-gauge griddles. This is the 20-inch-depth DCGM family; Dukers' DCGMA models are a separate line with a 1-inch plate on a deeper 24-inch surface.

Manual valve control with standby pilot

Burner control is manual — one independent valve per 12 inches of width, with a standby pilot. The operator sets flame level directly instead of relying on a thermostat to cycle it, which gives a cook who knows the plate full authority over how hard each zone runs. It is also simpler to service: there is no thermostat bulb or capillary tube to fail. On the DCGM12 that single valve governs the entire 12-inch surface.

Gas supply and installation

The unit is configured for natural gas or propane through a 3/4-inch NPT inlet, requiring 4 inches water column on natural gas or 10 inches on propane. At 15-1/4 inches tall it is a countertop model, so plan on a rated equipment stand or stainless work surface able to carry roughly 140 pounds plus product before you commit to a spot on the line.
