- Heavy-duty 9-bar cast-iron top grate lays down bold char marks and channels grease forward.
- Full-width front gutter and 3" removable grease can simplify end-of-shift cleanup.
- Fully insulated cooktop conserves energy and keeps your line cooler.
Built for the rush
- All-stainless front, sides & 4" landing ledge stand up to daily abuse.
