It has a 1-inch thick chrome-surfaced T1 steel plate divided into 6 independently controlled 12-inch zones, each fired by its own 30,000 BTU burner for a total of 180,000 BTU. Every zone is regulated by a mechanical snap-action thermostat adjustable from 150°F to 550°F. It runs on natural gas or liquid propane; select the gas type above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHeat Zones \u0026amp; Temperature Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 12-inch section has its own burner and its own mechanical snap-action thermostat. The thermostat sensor is embedded 3\/16 inch (5 mm) below the cooking surface, so it responds to the actual plate temperature and calls for heat as soon as cold product lands on the griddle. The adjustable range runs from 150°F (66°C) to 550°F (288°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the zones are independent, one griddle can sear burgers in one section while holding eggs or pancakes at a lower setting next to it. The 1-inch thick plate stores a large amount of heat, which keeps recovery quick during rushes and evens out the surface temperature across each zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chrome version adds a 0.001-inch (0.025 mm) hexavalent chrome surface over ultra-tough T1 steel.
