Product Description

The Dukers DCGMA48 is a four-burner countertop gas griddle delivering 120,000 BTU over a 47.83" x 24.02" cooking surface. It pairs a full four feet of width with the deeper, heavier plate of the DCGMA line — a combination aimed at high-volume breakfast, burger and banquet production.

1-inch plate on a 24-inch deep surface

The plate is 1-inch thick polished steel across a 24.02-inch deep surface, which is what distinguishes this model from the similarly sized DCGM48 (3/4-inch plate, 20.50-inch depth). At this width the heavier plate earns its keep: a 48-inch surface gets loaded corner to corner, and the extra mass is what keeps the middle of the plate from sagging in temperature when it does. The deeper surface adds close to 1,150 square inches of cooking area. Note the cabinet is 33-1/2 inches deep rather than the DCGM's 30 inches.

Four zones, all on manual valves

Four 30,000 BTU burners each get an independent manual valve, one every 12 inches of width. Manual control means the cook, not a thermostat, decides how hard each quarter of the plate runs, which is what makes a plate this wide practical to zone — sear at one end, steady cooking in the middle, holding at the far end, all held through service without waiting on a control loop to catch up. It also keeps the failure surface small, since there are no thermostat bulbs or capillaries.

Gas supply and installation

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. This is a substantial piece of equipment at roughly 556 pounds empty, crating at 50-1/4" x 36-1/4" x 20-1/2" — plan for freight delivery, a liftgate or dock, and an equipment stand rated well above the unit weight.
