Restaurant Gas Range, 30\" Griddle, (1) 26.5\" Oven","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Comstock-Castle F326-30 is a 30-inch heavy-duty restaurant gas range built for fast-casual lines, prep stations, and breakfast counters that need a a 30-inch griddle section working through full service without losing heat. It pairs that cooktop with a 26.5-inch standard oven sized for half sheet pans and full-size hotel pans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a real kitchen, the 102,000 BTU output keeps the 30-inch griddle surface at production temperature through a full breakfast service, holding heat even when wet product hits the plate in volume. The 26.5-inch oven takes half sheet pans and most full-size hotel pans, with a 30,000 BTU cast iron oven burner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the right call for fast-casual lines, prep stations, and breakfast counters where the 30\" griddle layout matches your menu mix. If you're running back-to-back catering events at volume, the larger 36-inch or 60-inch siblings in Comstock-Castle's 30-inch range family fit the higher concurrency. If you only need one or two burners for a prep station, the 24-inch sibling cuts both the footprint and the BTU draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e30-Inch Polished Steel Griddle with Cast Iron Burners\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 30-inch griddle plate runs 3\/4-inch thick polished steel for cold-spot-free heat retention under heavy production loads. 72,000 BTU of cast iron burner fires beneath the plate, divided into independent zones at 12-inch increments so a cook can run one section hot for searing and another at hold temperature for finished product. Stainless steel splash guards taper to 4 inches at the rear, and a full-width front grease trough drains into a large-capacity removable catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOne 26.5-Inch Standard Oven with H-Pattern Cast Iron Burner\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach oven cavity is 26.5 inches wide by 22 inches deep by 14 inches tall, sized for half sheet pans and most full-size hotel pans. The oven burner is a 30,000 BTU H-pattern cast iron unit paired with a V-shaped baffle that pushes heat around the cavity for even browning instead of straight up the back wall. Linings are porcelain on the surfaces you scrub and aluminized steel on the structure. Each oven ships with one nickel-plated rack on three positions spaced two-and-three-quarter inches apart, with 4-1\/2 inches maximum clearance at the highest rack position. A 500°F thermostat with 100% safety shut-off holds the cavity steady, and the standing pilot lights the burner without an electrical hookup, so the F326-30 keeps running through a power outage as long as the gas line stays live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWelded Stainless Steel Chassis on 6-Inch Heavy-Duty Pipe Legs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 F326-30 stands on six-inch heavy-duty stainless steel pipe legs with adjustable feet so you can level it on an uneven kitchen floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e500°F Thermostat, 100% Safety Shut-Off, and Brass Top Burner Valves\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSister Configurations in the Same Chassis for Different Menu Mixes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis F326-30 ships as the configuration described above. If a menu pulls heavier on a different cooking method, the same 30-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 F326-30 is the right call when this specific cooktop layout matches how your line actually cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFactory Accessories for Bake, Hood, and Service Programs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOptional 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 F326-30 unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comstock-Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51275893047581,"sku":"F326-30","price":7144.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/55961_F326-30_b8c2bafa-5000-4bf6-b5e9-ed20444bac8d.png?v=1779649326","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/comstock-castle-f326-30-30-in-restaurant-gas-range-30-griddle-1-26-5-oven","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
