- Reversible cast iron grill and griddle
- ETL certified with flame-out shutoff
Who it's for
Home cooks who want commercial-style output and a built-in griddle on a standard 36 inch cutout, comfortable installing a gas cooktop themselves or with basic tools. Less suited to anyone who wants one-touch auto ignition.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners rate the install as manageable in under an hour with basic tools and single out the high-BTU burner for canning and fast boiling and the griddle for sear marks. Recurring notes are that the larger burners sit toward the back of the unit, the ignition requires holding the knob down rather than auto-sensing, and mounting screws are needed since no clamp is included. One buyer was frustrated the price dropped shortly after their purchase.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- High-output 20000 BTU burner for boiling and canning
- Reversible grill and griddle insert included
- NG/LPG convertible with included nozzles
- DIY-installable with basic tools per multiple owners
- Larger burners are clustered toward the back
- Manual push-and-hold ignition, no auto-sense shutoff
- No included clamps for mounting to the counter
Performance notes
The 20000 BTU burner handles high-volume tasks like canning and rapid boiling, while the 4000 and 7000 BTU burners hold a low simmer for delicate sauces. Several buyers completed the install themselves in under an hour with basic tools, converting between natural gas and propane using the included nozzles. The tradeoff owners flag most is the ignition sequence: push the knob down and hold it briefly before it catches, rather than auto-ignite behavior found on some other cooktops.

Yes, a reversible cast iron insert with ridged grill marks on one side and a smooth griddle surface on the other.
How does ignition work on this cooktop?
You push each knob down and hold it briefly to let the thermocouple sense the flame before releasing, rather than an auto-sensing ignition.
