The Comstock-Castle 10T48 Gas Griddle
The Comstock-Castle 10T48 is a 48-inch heavy-duty countertop thermostatic griddle, built for fast-casual lines, prep stations, and food trucks that need a 48-inch thermostatic griddle working steady through service without dropping plate temperature.
In a real kitchen, the 80,000 BTU output is split across thermostatic zones every 12 inches, so a line cook can hold pancakes at 350°F on one zone while searing burgers at 450°F on the next, all on the same plate. The 3/4-inch-thick polished steel plate holds heat through wave after wave of cold product, so the surface temperature doesn't crater when you load a fresh batch.
This is the right call for fast-casual lines, prep stations, and food trucks at the high end of the volume range. If you're running a smaller line where one cook handles the griddle station, smaller siblings in the same series cut footprint and BTU draw without losing the core build.
48-Inch Polished Steel Plate at 3/4-Inch Thickness
The cooking surface is 48 inches wide by 20 inches deep, with a 3/4-inch-thick polished steel plate that holds heat through wave after wave of cold product without cratering the surface temperature.
4 Thermostatically-Controlled Heat Zones at 20,000 BTU Each
The griddle is divided into 4 independent thermostatic zones, each rated at 20,000 BTU and controlled by a dedicated snap-action thermostat with a 200°F to 550°F range. A line cook can hold pancakes at 325°F on one zone while running burgers at 450°F on the next, with each thermostat cycling on its own so cold product loaded on one zone doesn't pull heat from the rest.
Full-Width Front Grease Trough with Removable Catch Drawer
A full-width front grease trough drains into a large-capacity catch drawer that pulls out for fast cleanout at the end of service. Stainless steel splash guards taper to 3 inches at the back of the plate, protecting back-of-house wall surfaces from spatter and keeping the unit sanitation-compliant under daily wash-down.
Welded Stainless Steel Body on Stainless Steel Adjustable Legs
The 10T48 body is welded stainless steel with an angle iron and aluminized steel inner frame, set on stainless steel adjustable feet so you can level it on an uneven kitchen counter or stand. Welded construction holds up against the hot-cold cycling and pan abuse a countertop griddle takes every day; bolted construction works loose after a season of service and shows up as a wobble in the legs or a misaligned grease drawer.
About Comstock-Castle
Founded in 1838 in Quincy, Illinois, Comstock-Castle is America's oldest stove manufacturer still in operation. The company grew from a frontier hardware shop into a grey-iron foundry that helped make Quincy the nation's stove-production hub by the early 1900s. Seven generations later, Comstock-Castle still designs and union-builds commercial cooking equipment in the same Quincy facility, with ranges, griddles, charbroilers, fryers, and modular cook lines configurable from 24 to 72 inches to match your menu. Built to outlast the kitchens that put them on the line.
