The Prepline ENCTGM-36-N/L Gas Griddle
The Prepline ENCTGM-36-N/L is a 36 inch countertop gas griddle with manual controls and 90,000 BTU of total output, built for diners, burger bars, taquerias, and breakfast lines that live on the flat top. The cooking surface measures 35.5 inches wide by 19 inches deep, and the unit ships set up for natural gas with liquid propane conversion kits included in the box, so the same griddle drops onto a city gas line or a propane-fed food truck without ordering extra parts. That N/L flexibility is why the model works for operators who move locations or run mixed fuel sites.
3/4 In. Thick Steel Plate That Holds Its Heat
The griddle plate is 3/4 inch thick steel, noticeably heavier than the 1/2 inch plates on lighter countertop units. Mass is what a griddle plate is for: when a dozen frozen burger patties hit the surface, a thick plate barely dips in temperature and sears immediately, while a thin plate sags into the gray-meat zone and takes minutes to climb back. The extra steel also spreads heat sideways, evening out the hot and cool stripes that plague thin plates.
Three Independent 30,000 BTU Burners
Three U-shaped burners run under the plate at 30,000 BTU each, each with its own manual valve. Independent zones let you run the classic split: one zone at egg and pancake temperature, the middle at burger sear, and the edge on low for holding toasted buns. U-shaped tubes sweep flame across more plate area per burner than straight tubes, which is where the even edge-to-edge cooking comes from.
Splash Control and a Removable Grease Tray
A fully welded backsplash with matching side splashes keeps grease pops off the wall and neighboring stations, and the extended cool-touch front edge gives the cook a safe place to rest a spatula hand. Runoff channels into a removable stainless steel grease tray that empties in one trip to the waste bin. The body is stainless steel on adjustable legs, and gas connects at the rear through a 3/4 inch fitting, keeping the hose out of the work zone.
