Serv-Ware SMGS-36 36" Countertop Manual Griddle, 3 Burners, 90,000 BTU, 3/4" Steel Plate
Thirty-six inches is the size most independent restaurants end up choosing, and the Serv-Ware SMGS-36 shows why. It gives a diner, burger joint or brunch spot enough flat top to run pancakes, eggs and bacon side by side, yet it still sits on a standard countertop or equipment stand. Simple manual controls keep it easy for any cook to run and easy to service.
Three steel U-shaped burners rated 30,000 BTU/hr each deliver 90,000 BTU/hr in total, with one manual valve for every 12" of the 3/4" thick steel plate.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Three independent zones. Run a hot sear zone, a medium zone and a gentle zone for eggs or holding, all on one plate.
- Strong, even output. At 30,000 BTU/hr per burner, the U-shaped burners spread heat across each section and bring the plate back quickly after a heavy load.
- Built for steady use. Stainless steel front and sides, heavy-duty adjustable stainless legs and chrome-coated zinc alloy knobs hold up to a busy line.
- Instant ignition. Standing pilots keep every burner ready to light at the turn of a knob.
- Grease under control. An oil collector at the bottom gathers runoff so closing cleanup takes less time.
