Restaurant Gas Range, 24\" Griddle, 24\" Charbroiler, (1) 31.5\" Oven","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Comstock-Castle F3430-24-2RB is a 48-inch heavy-duty restaurant gas range built for full-service restaurants and busy breakfast houses that need a a 24-inch griddle section plus a 24-inch radiant charbroiler section working through full service without losing heat. It pairs that cooktop with a 31.5-inch oven sized for full 18-by-26-inch sheet pans flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a real kitchen, the 120,000 BTU output keeps the 24-inch griddle surface at production temperature through a full breakfast service, holding heat even when wet product hits the plate in volume. The 31.5-inch standard oven takes full 18-by-26-inch sheet pans flat, with a 30,000 BTU H-pattern oven burner and V-shaped baffle for even browning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the right call for full-service restaurants and busy breakfast houses where the 24\" griddle + 24\" charbroiler layout matches your menu mix. If you're running a high-volume diner line where every burner is going through three meal services, the 60-inch or 72-inch siblings in Comstock-Castle's 48-inch range family carry more concurrency. If your kitchen is a tight-footprint prep station, the 30-inch or 24-inch siblings cut the install width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e24-Inch Polished Steel Griddle with Cast Iron Burners\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 24-inch griddle plate runs 3\/4-inch thick polished steel for cold-spot-free heat retention under heavy production loads. 40,000 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\u003e24-Inch Radiant Charbroiler with Cast Iron Top Grates\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 24-inch radiant charbroiler fires 50,000 BTU of cast iron burner through 10-gauge stainless radiants up to flare-reducing cast iron top grates for superior heat retention and consistent sear marks. A spatula-wide front grease trough drains into a removable catch for fast end-of-night cleanout. Char-broilers are approved for non-combustible-surface installs only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOne 31.5-Inch Standard Oven with H-Pattern Cast Iron Burner\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach oven cavity is 31.5 inches wide by 22 inches deep by 14 inches tall, sized for full 18-by-26-inch sheet pans flat. 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 F3430-24-2RB 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 F3430-24-2RB 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 F3430-24-2RB ships as the configuration described above. If a menu pulls heavier on a different cooking method, the same 48-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 F3430-24-2RB 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 F3430-24-2RB unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comstock-Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51275888918813,"sku":"F3430-24-2RB","price":12375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/56019_F3430-24-2RB_73b4ba2b-9cc7-4c0d-8f79-c3528bd55aec.png?v=1779649193","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/comstock-castle-f3430-24-2rb-48-in-floor-gas-range-with-charbroiler","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
