Countertop Gas Fryer (Full Pot)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Comstock-Castle 2616HG is a 16-inch countertop full-pot gas fryer, built for prep stations and small-line kitchens that need a unit holding production temperature through full service without losing performance. The 2616HG is engineered for deep-frying battered, breaded, and frozen product in a full oil pot at a dedicated countertop station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a real kitchen, the 40,000 BTU output drives the 16-inch cooking surface at production temperature through service, with heavy cast iron components that hold heat between batches and recover fast when fresh product hits the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the right call for tight-counter or single-station operations. If you need to handle higher product volume per service, the wider siblings in the same series carry more capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e40,000 BTU of Gas Output Driving the Cooking Surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit fires 40,000 BTU across the 16-inch cooking surface, using cast iron burners or radiants that hold heat through wave after wave of cold product. Brass valves with standing pilot let the unit run on gas alone, no electrical hookup needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWelded Stainless Steel Body on Adjustable Legs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2616HG body is welded stainless steel with an angle iron and aluminized steel inner frame, set on adjustable stainless feet so the unit levels on any countertop or floor. Welded construction holds up under hot-cold cycling and daily pan abuse where bolted construction works loose after a season of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBrass Gas Valves with Standing Pilot, No Electric Hookup Required\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach control runs its own brass gas valve with a standing pilot, holding up against grease ingress where plated-steel valves pit and seize after a year of line service. No electrical hookup means the unit keeps running through a power outage as long as the gas line stays live.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comstock-Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51275902812445,"sku":"2616HG","price":3432.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/56514_2616HG_70c6a009-d03e-42a6-be1f-801122d9fdd7.png?v=1779649597","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/comstock-castle-2616hg-26-in-countertop-gas-heavy-duty-grooved-griddle","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
