Connerton CN24-24G 24 In. Gas Range With Griddle Top, 24 In. x 1 In. Polished Steel Griddle, 25,000 BTU Oven

The Connerton CN24-24G is a 24 in. wide restaurant gas range with a full-width 24 in. by 1 in. thick highly polished steel griddle plate over a single 25,000 BTU Bake n' Roast oven, built for a diner counter, a breakfast cafe, or a burger window that wants a flat top and an oven in two feet of wall. The griddle burners underneath are rated at 18,000 BTU/hr each and run on manual valves, so you can hold the plate at a steady breakfast heat for eggs and pancakes and crank it for a lunch of smashburgers while a tray of bacon finishes in the oven below. Through a Sunday brunch of hash browns, sausage, and short stacks the 1 in. plate holds its heat as cold batter and frozen patties hit the surface. It is a griddle top over a standard oven with no open burners, so it is for flat-top and roasting work rather than pot and pan cooking over a flame. It stands on 6 in. adjustable stainless steel legs, takes a 3/4 in. or larger gas line at the rear with the sized pressure regulator included, needs 6 in. at the rear and 10 in. at the sides from combustible walls or 0 in. from non-combustible ones, and belongs under a commercial ventilation hood.

24 In. Wide, 1 In. Thick Highly Polished Steel Griddle Plate

The top of the CN24-24G is one griddle plate, 24 in. wide across the full 24 in. body, in highly polished 1 in. thick steel. A full inch of steel matters because the plate stores heat in its own mass, so when a dozen frozen patties or a ladle of cold batter land on it, the surface temperature dips less and comes back faster than a thinner plate would, and the heat spreads sideways through the steel to even out hot and cool spots between the burners. The polished finish releases eggs and pancakes cleanly and lets a bench scraper clear the surface between orders.

18,000 BTU/hr Griddle Burners With Manual Valve Control

The burners under the plate are rated at 18,000 BTU/hr each, and each burner section has its own manual valve on the front panel. That lets you run the plate in zones, a hot end for searing and a cooler end for holding toast or finishing eggs, instead of one temperature across the whole surface. The valves are manual, so the cook sets the flame by eye and by how the plate responds rather than by a dial setting.

25,000 BTU Oven Sized for Full Size Sheet Pans

Below the griddle sits one Bake n' Roast oven rated at 25,000 BTU with its own thermostat dial on the front panel. The cavity is sized to take a full size sheet pan, so a tray of bacon or a pan of biscuits slides straight in without turning the pan. The oven ships with one rack and three rack positions, so you can drop a roast low near the burner for browning or raise a tray of rolls to the top slot, and an extra oven rack is available as an accessory when you want two trays going at once.

Flash Tube Pilot System, One Pilot per Two Burners

The burners light from an energy saving flash tube pilot system with one pilot serving two burners. When you open a valve, gas travels along the flash tube from the pilot to the burner and lights it, so the range carries half as many standing pilots as it has burners. Fewer pilots means less gas burned during the hours the plate is idle and less heat thrown into the kitchen overnight, and fewer pilot flames to relight after a shutdown.

Stainless Steel Front, Sides, Riser, and Lift-Off High Shelf on a 12 In. Stub Back

The front, sides, and riser are stainless steel, and the 12 in. stainless steel stub back carries a lift-off high shelf. The stub back keeps griddle splatter off the wall, and the shelf gives you a place for plates, a sheet pan of garnish, or a stack of spatulas within reach without giving up griddle space. The shelf lifts off without tools when you need to clean behind it or lower the profile under a hood. Overall the range stands 57.7 in. tall with the shelf in place It is 34.1 in. deep overall including the shelf and the rear gas connection.

Full Depth Pull-Out Crumb Tray and 6 In. Stainless Steel Adjustable Legs

A full depth crumb tray pulls out from under the top, so what works its way past the plate lands in one tray that slides out for a quick dump and wipe instead of collecting on the oven top. The range stands on 6 in. stainless steel adjustable legs, which give the burners the air gap Connerton calls for to burn properly and let you level the plate on an uneven floor so grease runs the way you want it to. A set of four casters is available as an accessory when you would rather roll the range out for cleaning behind it.

3/4 In. Gas Line With an Included Pressure Regulator

Gas comes in at the rear, and the supply line, or the inside diameter of a flexible connector, must be 3/4 in. or larger so the griddle burners and the oven get full flow when everything is lit. A pressure regulator sized for this range is included and sets the unit up for 5.0 in. W.C. on natural gas or 10.0 in. W.C. on propane, so specify the gas type when you order and note the altitude if the kitchen sits above 2,000 ft so the orifices are sized for the thinner air. Install the range on the legs or casters supplied, keep 6 in. at the rear and 10 in. at the sides from combustible construction or 0 in. against non-combustible surfaces, and run it under a ventilation system built for commercial cooking equipment.

Casters and Extra Oven Rack Accessories

Two factory accessories round out the range: a set of four casters in place of the legs for rolling the unit out from the wall, and an extra oven rack so two sheet pans can run in the oven at the same time.
