Avantco Chef Series CAG-36-MG 36″

36″ Countertop Gas Griddle – 90,000 BTU for Commercial Kitchens

Compact Design, Big Capability
The Avantco Chef Series CAG-36-MG 36″ countertop gas griddle is ideal for kitchens where space is limited yet volume remains high. With a footprint optimized for placement on work tables, this unit allows you to maximize prep and cook surfaces without sacrificing performance.

Robust Heating for Consistent Cooking
This griddle features three independent burners, each rated at 30,000 BTU for a total of 90,000 BTU, delivering strong heat across the full 36″ cooking surface. The ¾″-thick polished steel plate holds heat well and recovers fast—ideal for consecutive batches of burgers, pancakes or grilled vegetables.

Independent Zone Control for Versatility
With three separate front-mounted control knobs, you can set each burner to a different heat level. That means you can sear high on one zone, simmer delicate items on another, and keep sides warm on the third—all on the same griddle plate.

Durable, Service-Friendly Construction
The body is built of stainless steel to stand up to busy commercial kitchens, while the unit is field-convertible from natural gas to liquid propane (orifices included). A ¾″ rear gas connection simplifies installation.

Easy Maintenance and Clean-Up
Underneath the plate lies a removable waste tray that catches food particles and grease, making end-of-day cleaning quicker and more effective. The polished steel surface wipes clean and helps reduce retained debris that can affect flavor over time.

Ideal Applications
This griddle is perfect for mid-sized kitchens, food trucks, quick-serve restaurants or busy breakfast lines. If your menu features items like burgers, grilled sandwiches, breakfast skillets, or vegetable medleys, you’ll appreciate the large surface and fast heat recovery this model offers.

Final Summary
The Avantco CAG-36-MG delivers serious performance in a compact countertop design. Its 90,000 BTU output, ¾″ steel griddle plate and independent burner controls give you the flexibility and power to handle high-volume cooking in a space-efficient footprint.
