Atosa CookRite ATG-3624-S 36-Inch Thermostatic Polished Steel Griddle - Natural Gas, 90,000 BTU

Atosa CookRite ATG-3624-S 36" Thermostatic Polished Steel Griddle — Natural Gas, 90,000 BTU

The Atosa CookRite ATG-3624-S is a 36" countertop commercial gas griddle built for diners, breakfast restaurants, burger joints, and busy cook lines that need precise, even heat across three cooking zones. A heavy-duty 1" thick polished steel griddle plate holds heat through the rush, and independent thermostatic controls on each 12" section let you run three temperatures at once, from 200°F to 450°F.

Three U-shaped 30,000 BTU burners deliver 90,000 BTU/h total, and the thermostats automatically cycle the burners to hold your set temperature, so eggs, pancakes, burgers, and grilled sandwiches come out the same every time.

Built for Precise, Consistent Griddle Cooking

• Diners and breakfast restaurants — eggs, pancakes, and hash browns on three separate zones
• Burger and sandwich shops — smash burgers, grilled onions, and toasted buns at the same time
• Cafés and brunch spots — French toast, bacon, and griddled sandwiches through the weekend rush
• Taquerias and Asian kitchens — tortillas, proteins, and teppanyaki-style cooking at exact temperatures
• Institutional kitchens — consistent results no matter who is on the line

1" Thick Polished Steel Griddle Plate

The 1" thick polished steel plate stores a large amount of heat, so the surface recovers quickly when cold product hits it and holds temperature during high-volume service. The 36" x 24" work area is surrounded by 2mm thick, 14-gauge stainless steel rear and side splashes that keep grease and food on the plate.

Independent Thermostatic Controls

Each 12" section has its own thermostatic control with a 200°F–450°F range. Unlike manual griddles, which run at a fixed flame, a thermostatic griddle cycles the burners on and off to hold the temperature you set. That means more consistent results, less babysitting, and lower gas use during slower periods.

Safety and Cleanup

• Standing pilot ignition with standby pilots and automatic gas shut-off if the pilot goes out
• Protruding front edge design with a 12-3/4" working height to reduce operator contact with the hot plate
• Stainless steel grease drawer (6-3/4"W x 17-1/2"D x 2-1/2"H, 4-quart capacity) for fast cleanup
• Stainless steel exterior and interior with stainless steel knobs and legs

Specifications

Installation

The ATG-3624-S connects to a natural gas supply through a 3/4" NPT rear gas connection, and a regulator is included. Confirm your gas line and meter can supply the full 90,000 BTU load. Maintain 6" clearance to combustible construction at the rear and 4"–6" at the sides (0" to non-combustible construction). Like all commercial gas cooking equipment, it must be installed under a properly sized commercial kitchen hood by a licensed gas professional.

Other Sizes and Finishes

The ATG polished steel line also comes in 24", 48", and 60" widths. Want a plate that releases food more easily and puts less heat into the kitchen? See the chrome plated ATG-3624-C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the temperature range of the ATG-3624-S?

200°F to 450°F, set independently for each 12" section.

How many BTUs is the ATG-3624-S?

90,000 BTU/h total from three U-shaped 30,000 BTU burners.

What is the difference between a thermostatic and a manual griddle?

A manual griddle runs at a fixed flame setting. A thermostatic griddle cycles the burners to hold the exact temperature you set, which gives more consistent cooking and can lower gas use during slow periods.

Is the ATG-3624-S natural gas?

Yes. This model is sold for natural gas, with a 3/4" NPT rear gas connection and a regulator included.

How thick is the griddle plate?

The polished steel griddle plate is 1" thick, which holds heat well and recovers quickly during busy service.

What is the difference between polished steel and chrome plated griddles?

Polished steel is the traditional griddle surface and works well for a wide range of foods. Chrome plated griddles, like the ATG-3624-C, reflect more heat back to the food instead of into the kitchen, release food more easily, and reduce flavor transfer between items.

Does the polished steel plate need seasoning?

Yes. Like other steel griddles, the plate should be seasoned before first use and maintained with regular cleaning and light oiling to prevent rust and help food release.

How much clearance does the ATG-3624-S need?

6" at the rear and 4"–6" at the sides from combustible construction, and 0" from non-combustible construction.

How big is the grease drawer?

The stainless steel grease drawer measures 6-3/4"W x 17-1/2"D x 2-1/2"H and holds 4 quarts.

What warranty comes with the ATG-3624-S?

One year parts and labor, with a 5-year extended warranty available.
