The Wolf 36" heavy-duty thermostatic countertop gas griddle adds precise temperature control to the performance foundation of the AGM manual series. A mechanical snap-action thermostat per burner zone adjusts from 200°–550°F — holding cooking temperature within a tight range automatically, without the manual adjustment that infinite heat valve control requires. This is the correct choice for operations that need consistent cook results across high-volume production rather than reactive manual heat management.
The 1" thick polished steel griddle plate delivers the thermal mass for rapid recovery, and 3 x 27,000 BTU U-shaped burners provide 81,000 total BTU input. Pilot safety ignition, 4" stainless back and side splashes, 3-1/2" stainless grease trough, fully welded grease chute. 1 x 6 qt grease drawer. 4" adjustable legs. 3/4" rear gas connection and pressure regulator. CSA, NSF.
The Wolf heavy-duty 36" countertop gas griddle is a production-grade flat-top cooking surface built for the volume and durability demands of commercial kitchen griddle stations. One 27,000 BTU U-shaped aluminized steel burner for every 12" of griddle width provides 81,000 total BTU across 3 independently controlled zones — enabling simultaneous cooking of multiple menu items at different temperatures across the griddle surface.
The 1" thick polished steel griddle plate is the thermal performance component. At 1" thickness, the plate holds substantial heat mass — recovering quickly after loading without the temperature drops that thinner griddle plates exhibit. The polished surface provides non-stick performance for eggs and delicate items while still developing the Maillard reaction and char marks that protein cookery requires.
The 11-1/8" low-profile cooking height positions the griddle surface at working height when placed on a standard counter, and the compact vertical profile allows the unit to slide beneath standard ventilation hoods. 4" stainless steel back splash and tapered side splashes contain splatter and protect adjacent equipment. The grease chute is fully welded to the trough to prevent grease migration into the equipment body — a fire safety and cleaning maintenance feature that poorly constructed griddles omit.
Thermostatic control is the key operational distinction. The mechanical snap-action thermostat per burner zone maintains cooking surface temperature within a tighter range than manual infinite heat valves — automatically adjusting gas flow to hold the set temperature as product is loaded and the griddle surface absorbs heat. For breakfast operations, short-order stations, and high-throughput griddle production where temperature consistency directly affects product quality, thermostatic control reduces the monitoring burden on line cooks and delivers more consistent cook results across the full service shift.
