Product Description

The Dukers DCGMA36 is a three-burner countertop gas griddle producing 90,000 BTU across a 35.83" x 24.02" cooking surface. It is the heavy-plate version of Dukers' 36-inch manual griddle, built for a kitchen where the griddle carries a full service rather than supporting one.

1-inch plate on a 24-inch deep surface

The cooking plate is 1-inch thick polished steel over a 24.02-inch deep surface — the two specs that separate this DCGMA unit from the similar-looking DCGM36, which uses a 3/4-inch plate at 20.50 inches deep. The heavier plate carries more stored heat, so the surface temperature drops less when the plate is loaded end to end and comes back faster between drops. The added depth gives roughly 860 square inches of surface without taking any extra width from the line, though the cabinet does sit 33-1/2 inches deep instead of 30.

Three independently controlled zones

Three 30,000 BTU burners each have their own manual valve, one per 12 inches of width. Manual control keeps the flame exactly where the cook puts it rather than letting a thermostat cycle it, which is how a line holds a sear zone, a working zone and a holding zone across the same plate through a rush. It also means there is no thermostat bulb or capillary to drift out of calibration or fail — a real consideration on a unit that runs open-to-close.

Gas supply and installation

Configured for natural gas or propane through a 3/4-inch NPT inlet at 4 inches water column (natural gas) or 10 inches (propane), with 37# and 51# orifices respectively. The unit weighs about 342 pounds empty and crates at 38-1/4" x 36-1/4" x 20-1/2", so plan on freight delivery and an equipment stand rated for the load.
