Floor-Model Gas Hotplate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Comstock-Castle FHP3S is a 36-inch floor-model hotplate, built for production kitchens needing dedicated burner stations at floor height that need a unit holding production temperature through full service without losing performance. The FHP3S is engineered for stock pot boil, sauce work, and bulk simmering at floor-stand height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a real kitchen, the 24,000 BTU output drives the 36-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 high-volume production kitchens needing dedicated burner stations at floor height at the production end of the volume range. If you only need a single-station unit for a prep line, the smaller siblings in the same series cut footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e24,000 BTU of Gas Output Driving the Cooking Surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit fires 72,000 BTU across the 36-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 FHP3S 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":51275955503389,"sku":"FHP3S","price":2959.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/56121_FHP3S_d6886324-95da-4b51-b5d1-d19cd24c3f83.png?v=1779651187","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/comstock-castle-fhp3s-36-in-specialty-countertop-gas-hot-plate","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
