Gas Stock Pot Range, 3-Ring Burner, 90,000 BTU, Welded #304 Stainless","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Connerton CSP-18-3 is an 18 in. wide, 20-1\/2 in. deep, 24 in. high gas stock pot range with one 3-ring, 90,000 BTU heavy duty painted cast iron burner under a single cast iron grate, built for the soup and stock station in a restaurant, a ramen or pho shop, a Mexican kitchen boiling pots of beans, or a commissary that reduces stock by the 40 qt batch. Two heavy duty brass valve knobs on the front panel let you open the burner up to bring a full 40 qt pot to a boil and then pull it back to a bare simmer for the long hold. Through a Monday morning of chicken stock, then a 60 qt pot of menudo for the weekend, the cast iron rings keep pushing heat into the bottom of the pot while the grate holds the weight at a comfortable 24 in. working height. It is a single-pot floor unit with no oven, no griddle plate, and no second burner position, so it is for one large pot at a time rather than a lineup of sauté pans. It stands on the floor on 1-5\/8 in. #304 stainless steel tubing legs over a stainless undershelf, connects at the rear through a 3\/4 in. NPT inlet, ships with the gas pressure regulator that must be installed, and is for non-combustible locations only with 0 in. clearance at the sides and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOne 3-Ring 90,000 BTU Heavy Duty Painted Cast Iron Burner\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single burner section on the CSP-18-3 is a 3-ring heavy duty painted cast iron burner rated at 90,000 BTU. Three concentric rings matter under a stock pot because the flame reaches the outer edge of a 16 in. pot bottom instead of concentrating in the center, so the whole pot comes up together and does not scorch in a ring in the middle. The mass of the cast iron rings also soaks up heat and keeps radiating it when you set a cold pot of water down, which is what gets a 40 qt batch to a boil faster. The burner sits under one grate on an 18 in. wide, 20.5 in. deep body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePainted Cast Iron Grate With a Center-Slope Hole\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grate is heavy duty painted cast iron with a center-slope hole. The surface pitches toward the opening over the burner, so a pot that boils over sends the spill down and through instead of leaving it to bake onto the grate top or run down the front panel. Cast iron has the mass to hold a full 60 qt pot steady while you stir with a paddle, and it takes the daily scrape of a bench scraper without complaint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e18 Gauge #304 Stainless Steel Body, Fully Welded\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is 18 gauge #304 stainless steel, fully welded rather than screwed or riveted together. A welded seam has no gap for stock and grease to wick into and no fastener head to loosen after years of heat cycling, which is why Connerton lists it under easy cleaning and long life. #304 is the chromium-nickel grade that shrugs off acidic splatter from tomato broth and the wipe-down chemicals used on a line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRemovable 18 Gauge #304 Stainless Steel Front Panel and Drip Pan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front panel is a removable 18 gauge #304 stainless steel piece, so a technician can open up the valve and burner area from the front without pulling the stove away from the wall or breaking the gas connection at the back. Under the burner sits an 18 gauge #304 stainless steel drip pan that collects what the center-slope grate sends down and keeps boil-over off the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHeavy Duty Brass Valves With a 3\/4 In. NPT Rear Gas Inlet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe burner runs on heavy duty brass valves, with 2 knobs on the front panel. Brass valve bodies resist corrosion at the seat, which keeps a low simmer setting from drifting over months of stock work. Gas enters at the rear through a 3\/4 in. NPT inlet. The unit runs on 4.0 in. W.C. natural gas or 11 in. W.C. 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 correctly. The regulator is supplied in the carton and has to be installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e1-5\/8 In. #304 Stainless Steel Tubing Legs With Undershelf and Adjustable Feet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stove stands 24 in. high on 1-5\/8 in. round, 16 gauge #304 stainless steel tubing legs with adjustable feet, so you can level it on an uneven tile floor and keep a full pot from listing. A #304 stainless steel undershelf spans the legs beneath the burner, giving you a place for the lid, a spare pot, or a case of stock bones without adding a rack to the footprint. The leg tubing is the same #304 grade as the body, so it stands up to mop water and floor cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel Wok Adapter Ring Option\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne factory option extends what the burner can do. A stainless steel wok adapter ring drops over the grate to cradle a round-bottom wok over the 3-ring flame, so the same 90,000 BTU that boils a stock pot can drive a high-heat stir fry when the pot comes off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connerton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68020801798429,"sku":"CSP-18-3","price":867.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/84909_CSP-18-3_1.jpg?v=1794219386","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/connerton-csp-18-3-18-in-gas-stock-pot-range-3-ring-burner-90-000-btu-welded-304-stainless","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
