Product Features

Perfect for busy operations that are tight on space, this Avantco Chef Series CAG-36-MG 36" countertop gas griddle with manual controls adds easy compact convenience to your kitchen! The unit is space efficient, designed specifically for your kitchen countertop and allows you to maximize every inch of work space. With (3) 30,000 BTU burners, it is ideal for cooking burgers, pancakes, or vegetable skewers, as each burner can be set to a different temperature. For quality performance, the griddle surface is 3/4" thick, ensuring quick recovery and convenient heat retention, saving you money and keeping your kitchen cool.

With a countertop design, the unit is space efficient, leaving room in your kitchen for additional equipment, supplies, or work surface area. It also allows placement on top of existing work tables and chef bases, ensuring that your space is maximized to its full potential. For quick and easy cleaning, this unit features a waste tray to collect food particles. Simply remove the tray, empty or rinse it, and return it back to its original spot.

Operation is simple and intuitive, thanks to the 3 large control knobs located on the front of the unit. These controls operate the burners independently, so you can set each burner on the griddle to a different temperature and cook different items at the same time. Unlike other gas griddles that require liquid propane or natural gas, this unit ships ready for a natural gas connection, but can be converted to accept liquid propane. The unit uses a total 90,000 BTU for operation.

    Love the amount of cooking surface. We are able to cook an entire breakfast for all of our hunters at our lodge at the same time. Very versatile as well. It serves most of our cooking needs

Frequently Asked Questions

Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you’ll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.
