Asber AEHP-6-36-EM 36 In. Emerald Series Countertop Gas Hot Plate, 6 Burners, 180,000 BTU

SKUAEHP-6-36-EM BrandAsber

The Asber AEHP-6-36-EM Gas Hotplate

The Asber AEHP-6-36-EM is the Emerald Series 36 In. countertop hot plate, the unit you drop onto a counter or equipment stand when the line needs 6 more burners without buying another range. Each crown type cast iron burner delivers 30,000 BTU, 180,000 BTU total, and the 26 In. deep cooking area with its 14 In. rear section takes the stock pots that shallow countertop tops cannot hold.

Crown Type 30,000 BTU Burners That Lift Off for Cleaning

The anti-clog crown burners lift straight off for cleaning, so a boil-over is a five minute fix instead of a toothbrush job around fixed jets. Heavy duty cast iron grates run 12 x 12 In. up front and 12 x 14 In. in the rear, and Asber's grate design carries full heat to the rear burners, which most competing tops treat as parking spots. Manual ignition with an independently controlled stainless steel standing pilot per burner means each station lights and holds its own flame.

Fully Insulated Low Profile Stainless Body

Stainless steel covers the front, sides, and landing ledge, with full insulation on the front, sides, and bottom panels so the counter under it does not cook. The 14 gauge stainless U frame shrugs off dropped pans, the 1 In. deep full length grease tray slides out for cleanup, and Zamak flame control knobs give precise adjustment with a solid feel. A 6 In. stainless landing ledge adds plating room, and the NG to LPG conversion kit ships in the box.

This unit fits restaurant cooklines, food trucks with the clearance for it, and any counter station cooking over open flame in volume. If you need griddle surface instead of open flame, the Emerald manual griddle line shares this footprint; if six burners is more than your menu uses, the 2 and 4 burner models run the same 30,000 BTU flames. Plan for a 3/4 In. or larger gas line and hood ventilation, with 3 In. of side and rear clearance to combustible construction. Adjustable stainless steel legs set height from 4 to 6 In.

    About Commercial Gas Hotplates

    Commercial gas hotplates are built for kitchens that need flexible, high-output cooking but don't have room for a full range. They're made for restaurants, caterers, food trucks, and any setup where counter space and cooking power are both important. If you need an extra burner, a dedicated cooktop for sauces and soups, or a compact unit for a satellite kitchen, start here.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Single burner hotplates: Compact and portable. Best for small kitchens or as an extra burner station.
    • Double burner hotplates: The most common setup. Fits on most prep counters and handles two pots at once.
    • Commercial gas cooktop with griddle: Open burners plus a flat griddle surface for more versatility.
    • 6 burner cooktops: High output units for busy kitchens that need lots of stovetop space but not a full range.
    • Propane hotplates: Good for outdoor catering, food trucks, or anywhere you don't have a natural gas line.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • BTU output: Most commercial hotplates run 15,000 to 30,000 BTU per burner. Higher BTU means faster heat and better recovery.
    • Gas type: Most units use natural gas. If you need propane, check that an LP conversion kit is available before you order.
    • Size and counter space: Measure your counter space before you buy. Hotplates range from single burner units to large 6 burner cooktops.
    • Grate design: Heavy cast iron grates last longer and support bigger pots.
    • Installation: Even countertop units need proper gas line connections and ventilation. Use a licensed installer for the hookup.
    • Oven or base: Some models sit on an open base or cabinet. Think about your storage needs before you choose.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a commercial gas hotplate and a range?

    A hotplate is a countertop unit with burners only. A range has an oven below the burners. Hotplates are a good pick if you need more burner space but don't want a full range, or if your kitchen already has wall ovens or deck ovens for baking and roasting.

    How many burners do I need for my kitchen?

    It depends on your menu and how much you cook. A single or double burner hotplate works well as a backup station. If you're replacing a range or setting up your main cook line, a 4 or 6 burner unit will handle most jobs. Think about your busiest shift and how many pots you have going at once.

    Can I use a commercial gas hotplate with propane?

    Most commercial gas hotplates come ready for natural gas but can be converted to propane with an LP kit. Propane models are common in catering and food trucks where you don't have a natural gas line.
