The Serv-Ware SMGS-24 is the griddle for a kitchen that wants real flat-top capacity without dedicating a big chunk of the line to it. At 24 inches wide it fits on a short counter or equipment stand, and it is a natural partner for a small breakfast menu, a sandwich shop that grills its proteins to order, or a bar kitchen running smash burgers and cheesesteaks.
Two steel U-shaped burners, one for every 12" of plate, put out 30,000 BTU/hr each for 60,000 BTU/hr in total. Each burner has its own manual valve, and the cooking surface is a 3/4" thick steel plate.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Two zones, two jobs. With a control for each 12" section you can keep one side hot for meat and the other lower for eggs, onions or holding.
- Heat spread across the plate. U-shaped burners run the flame under the plate instead of in a single line, which helps reduce cold spots.
- A plate with some mass. The 3/4" steel plate holds heat, so it does not crash the moment you drop a batch of cold patties on it.
- No-fuss start-up. Standing pilots keep the burners ready, and chrome-coated zinc alloy knobs stand up to daily handling.
- Cleanup made easier. An oil collector at the bottom catches grease, and the stainless steel front and sides wipe down quickly.

- Counter or stand: plan for a sturdy, non-combustible surface at least 24" wide and about 30" deep, and use the adjustable legs to level it.
