Venancio R722ST-72B 72 In. Restaurant Series Gas Range, 12 Non-Clog Burners, 2 Standard Ovens, Standing Pilot

The Venancio R722ST-72B is a 72 inch wide Restaurant Series gas range that puts twelve two-piece cast iron non-clog burners over two full-width standard ovens, with no fan and no power cord. It is built for a large hotel or institutional kitchen, a high-volume restaurant line, or any operation that wants a six foot range on gas alone. Each burner delivers 32,000 BTU on natural gas or 30,000 BTU on propane, so a stock pot comes to a boil and a saute pan recovers quickly after a cold protein hits it. Both ovens below are 26 1/2 inches wide with a 26 1/2 inch bakery depth, each fired by a 35,000 BTU natural gas burner and each on its own snap action thermostat from 175 °F to 550 °F, with two racks in five positions. If your menu leans on sheet pan baking where even browning across every rack matters, the convection version of this range adds a fan to each oven. It ships with a stainless steel single shelf flue riser, an installation kit with pressure regulating valve, and a propane conversion kit, and it installs on a 3/4 inch NPT rear gas connection with no electrical requirement.

Twelve Cast Iron Non-Clog Burners at 32,000 BTU

The two-piece cast iron burner is the reason cooks buy this line. Spilled stock and boilovers do not block the ports the way they do on a one-piece drilled burner, so the flame pattern stays even shift after shift. Each of the 12 burners has its own adjustable standing pilot and an independent manual valve, so you can hold a simmer on one grate while another runs wide open under a wok or a pasta pot. Twelve grates in two rows of six let you run a full saute station, a sauce station, and a stock corner side by side without anyone reaching across a neighbor. Heavy-duty 12 x 12 inch cast iron grates lift off for cleaning, and the welded and sealed stainless steel crumb tray underneath catches drips without seams that trap grease.

Two Standard Ovens with 26 1/2 Inch Bakery Depth

Each oven cavity measures 26 1/2 inches wide by 26 1/2 inches deep by 14 inches high, so an 18 x 26 inch sheet pan slides in either direction and a full-size roasting pan fits without turning it. Both ovens carry the larger 35,000 BTU natural gas or 30,000 BTU propane burner, the rating Venancio uses on its wide ovens, and heat rises from the burner below the deck the way a traditional range oven does. Unlike a convection cavity, there is no fan to dry the surface of a braise or blow a sheet of parchment loose, which is why many cooks prefer still heat for roasts, casseroles, and long braises. Because the ovens are independent, one can roast at 450 °F while the other holds finished product at 175 °F. Two heavy-duty 3/8 inch diameter wire racks sit in five positions in each cavity, and an additional rack is available as an option. Double-sided enamel cavities wipe clean, and the counterweight-balanced doors stay where you leave them instead of slamming on a hot pan. Both ovens light by piezo spark ignition and have a 100 percent safety shutoff.

14 Gauge Fully Welded Interlocking Frame

The frame is 14 gauge steel, fully welded and interlocked rather than bolted, so a range this wide does not rack or loosen when it gets pushed back against the wall or leveled on an uneven floor. The front and sides are stainless steel, the knobs are chrome-plated aluminum that stay cooler than plastic near an open flame, and the 6 inch chrome-plated steel legs adjust to level the cooktop across the full span. A stainless steel flex gas tube runs throughout the unit, and a 7 inch stainless steel plate rail across the front gives cooks a place to stage plates or rest a spoon. Optional 6 inch swivel casters with front locking brakes, in sets of four or six, make it easier to pull the range out for cleaning behind it.

Stainless Steel Flue Riser and Lift-Off Shelf

The single shelf flue riser brings the total height to 60 inches and carries a lift-off heavy-duty stainless shelf that runs the 72 inch width of the range, so you can stage hotel pans, sauce pots, and finished plates above the burners without crowding the grates. The riser directs oven exhaust up and away from the cook. A stubback riser is available as an option for installations under a low hood or a wall-mounted shelf, which brings the height to 40 inches.

Gas Requirements

The range connects at the rear through a 3/4 inch NPT fitting with a pressure regulator for either natural gas at 4 inch W.C. manifold pressure or propane at 10 inch W.C. The 12 top burners total 384,000 BTU on natural gas or 360,000 BTU on propane, and the two ovens add 70,000 BTU on natural gas or 66,000 BTU on propane. There is no electrical connection at all, which matters on a line where outlets are scarce or where a range gets moved between hood positions. Specify natural gas or propane when ordering, and check altitude specifications for installations above 2,000 feet.
