Serv-Ware SMGS-24 24" Countertop Manual Griddle, 2 Burners, 60,000 BTU, 3/4" Steel Plate

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.

Choosing your setup

Gas type: this griddle is offered for natural gas or LP; choose the gas your kitchen uses above. Burner ratings are the same on either gas, and a conversion kit for the other gas is included, so it can be switched later by a qualified installer.

Specifications

Before it arrives

• Gas: 3/4" gas line; have a qualified gas installer make the connection and handle any conversion to the other gas.
• Ventilation: install under a commercial hood following your local code.
• 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.
• Delivery: ships at about 210 lb, so arrange enough hands to lift it onto the counter.

Warranty

One year parts and labor on the entire unit, counted from installation (up to 18 months from shipment), for commercial use in the United States, from Serv-Ware.
