Comstock-Castle F32-2LB, 24 In. Restaurant Gas Range

The Comstock-Castle F32-2LB is a 24-inch heavy-duty restaurant gas range built for tight-footprint kitchens, food trucks, and prep stations that need a a 24-inch lava-rock broiler section working through full service without losing heat. The base is open-front cabinet storage for line-side prep, with no oven.

In a real kitchen, the 0 BTU output handles the cooktop and oven workload of a steady service pace without burner-by-burner heat drop. The open-front cabinet base gives you line-side storage for sheet pans, hotel pans, or service-pickup staging instead of an oven cavity.

This is the right call for tight-footprint kitchens, food trucks, and prep stations where the 24" lava broiler layout matches your menu mix. If you're feeding a full restaurant line, the 30-inch or 36-inch siblings in Comstock-Castle's 24-inch range family give you more burners on the same chassis. The F32-2LB is sized for prep stations, food trucks, and tight kitchen footprints where width matters more than concurrency.

Configurable Cooktop Mounted on the Welded Range Chassis

The cooktop pairs with the welded range chassis and brings the standard Comstock-Castle controls, valves, and ignition.

Open-Front Cabinet Base for Line-Side Storage

In place of an oven cavity, the base is an open-front cabinet with a galvanized steel interior, sized to hold sheet pans, hotel pans, or service-pickup product behind a stainless steel front. Cabinet construction matches the cooktop chassis with welded angle iron framing and a stainless steel exterior.

Welded Stainless Steel Chassis on 6-Inch Heavy-Duty Pipe Legs

The cabinet is welded, not bolted: angle iron and aluminized steel inner frame, stainless steel exterior, double-wall construction with heavy fiberglass insulation between the walls. Welded chassis stay square through years of hot-cold cycling and the daily abuse of pots banging against the front rail; bolted construction works loose after a couple of seasons and shows up as a rattle in the door and a misaligned cooktop. The double-wall insulation keeps the outside surfaces cool enough that a line cook can lean in to plate without flinching, and it cuts the radiated heat your hood has to deal with. The F32-2LB stands on six-inch heavy-duty stainless steel pipe legs with adjustable feet so you can level it on an uneven kitchen floor.

500°F Thermostat, 100% Safety Shut-Off, and Brass Top Burner Valves

If the pilot ever drops, the 100% safety shut-off cuts gas flow at the oven within seconds with no manual reset wand-walk required. Each top burner runs its own brass valve, which holds up against grease ingress in a way plated-steel valves do not (plated valves pit and seize after a year of line service). Pressure regulators are factory-set to 4 inches of water column for natural gas or 10 inches for propane, and the manifold is 3/4-inch NPT. Controls are tested before the unit ships and pressure regulators come factory-set.

Sister Configurations in the Same Chassis for Different Menu Mixes

This F32-2LB ships as the configuration described above. If a menu pulls heavier on a different cooking method, the same 24-inch chassis is available as separate SKUs that swap open-burner pairs for 12-inch, 24-inch, 30-inch, or 36-inch griddles, radiant charbroilers, hot tops, or cheesemelters in 12-inch increments. The F32-2LB is the right call when this specific cooktop layout matches how your line actually cooks.

Factory Accessories for Bake, Hood, and Service Programs

Optional add-ons available from the factory include casters for rolling cleanout, extra oven racks, pizza decks for the oven, FD oven thermostats, oven spark pilots, chrome griddle plates, 1-inch-thick griddle plates, griddle thermostats, safety-pilot griddles, lift-off griddles, automatic grill scrapers, hose and quick disconnects, control protection bars, low backs, and a storage base that replaces the oven cavity for kitchens that need cabinet storage more than oven capacity. These are factory accessory SKUs added to the order at purchase; they do not ship with the base F32-2LB unit.
