120,000 BTU | 48" × 24" Cooking Surface | CSA & NSF Listed

Need a rugged griddle that shows up fast and keeps up with rush-hour tickets? The Southbend HDG-48 delivers a generous 48-inch, “No-Cold-Zone” plate powered by four precision thermostats, so bacon, burgers and pancakes hit the window at the perfect temp—every time.

Key Features & Benefits
  • Quick-Ship model typically leaves the factory in days—not weeks.
  • 1" thick polished rolled-steel plate stores heat for rapid recovery and even browning.
  • Four 30,000 BTU “U” burners (one every 12") create a 120,000 BTU powerhouse.
  • “Insta-On” thermostatic controls hold any zone between 200 °F – 550 °F.
  • Battery-powered electronic spark ignition—no external electricity required.
  • Flame-failure safety on every pilot for added peace of mind.
  • 5" rear & 4" side splash guards keep grease where it belongs.
  • Front-mounted, large-capacity grease drawer lifts out for fast clean-up.
  • All-stainless front, sides & 4" adjustable legs stand up to daily abuse.
Engineered for High-Volume Kitchens
  • Embedded load-sensing thermostats respond quickly to load changes.
  • Exclusive “No Cold Zone” design distributes heat evenly across the plate.
  • Protected flue opening directs heat and vapors straight to your hood.
