Gasmax RGT-24ELPG 2 Burner LPG Gas Griddle 610mm | 20mm Steel Plate

[GASMAX_MSG]

The Gasmax RGT-24ELPG Commercial Heavy-Duty Two Burner LPG Flat-Top Gas Griddle (610mm Wide) is a high-capacity, high-thermal-retention flat-plate cooking station engineered specifically for Australian cafes, burger bars, roadhouses, food trucks, mobile catering trailers, steakhouses, and busy hotel breakfast lines operating on bottled Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Measuring 610 mm Wide x 850 mm Deep x 420 mm High and weighing a solid 90 kg, this heavy-duty 600mm-format benchtop griddle is built around an ultra-thick 20 mm heavy-duty polished mild steel hot plate that stores immense thermal mass. Powered by two heavy-duty commercial gas burners delivering rapid heat-up and fast recovery (rated at 54 Mj/h consumption, up to 60.4 Mj/h total burner potential), the RGT-24ELPG eliminates cold zones and prevents surface temperature drops when loading cold patties, bacon rashers, eggs, and steaks. Built with a commercial food-grade stainless steel body, automatic push-button ignition, certified thermoelectric flame failure safety shut-off, an integrated front grease gutter with a slide-out stainless steel drip catchment tray, and sturdy height-adjustable levelling feet (up to 45 mm adjustment) on a standard 3/4" rear gas connection, this benchtop unit provides reliable, heavy-duty frying and searing performance.

Why Australian commercial hospitality venues, cafes, and food vans choose the Gasmax RGT-24ELPG:

• Ultra-thick 20mm heavy-duty mild steel cooking plate — the massive 20 mm solid steel slab provides superior thermal mass and heat retention, preventing plate temperature sag when loaded with cold frozen burger patties, steaks, and marinated proteins.

• Dual heavy-duty commercial burners (54 Mj/h consumption / 60.4 Mj/h total) — two independent commercial-grade burners deliver rapid preheat times and fast temperature recovery during back-to-back breakfast and lunch rushes.

• Dual independent micro-heat zones — equipped with two heavy-duty rotary control dials, allowing kitchen staff to run two distinct temperature zones across the 610mm plate—searing proteins on high heat on one side while gently toasting buns or holding eggs on the other.

• Automatic ignition system — dependable push-button auto-ignition lights burners quickly and reliably without requiring handheld matches, taper wands, or external spark guns.

• Certified thermoelectric flame failure safety shut-off — fitted with flame failure safety valves on each burner that instantly isolate the LPG supply if a flame is accidentally blown out by kitchen cross-drafts, sudden breezes, or boil-overs.

• Full food-grade stainless steel construction — heavy-gauge commercial stainless steel chassis, front fascia, and side panels resist kitchen grease, corrosive salts, and high-impact wear while enabling rapid daily sanitisation.

• Slide-out stainless steel drip tray — integrated wide front grease trough directs rendered fats and cooking debris straight into a removable bottom catchment drawer for quick, safe mid-shift emptying.

• Sturdy height-adjustable levelling feet (45mm range) — heavy-duty threaded legs provide up to 45 mm of height adjustment, ensuring solid, level stability on uneven kitchen benchtops and providing essential clearance for convective under-chassis cooling airflow.

• Modular stand compatibility (QR-24-SEN) — purpose-built to mount directly onto the matching Gasmax QR-24-SEN stainless steel equipment stand (sold separately) to create an ergonomic freestanding griddle station with an undershelf.

• Up to 4-year warranty protection — backed by an Australian 2-Year parts and labour commercial warranty, extendable to an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty upon product registration within 14 days of invoice.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To preserve thermal plate conduction, prevent carbon build up, and protect food hygiene:

1. Plate Seasoning & Initial Setup: Prior to first use, wash the protective factory transit coating off the 20 mm plate using warm water and a neutral detergent. Dry thoroughly, heat the plate gently, and apply a thin, even coat of high-smoke-point cooking oil (such as canola or peanut oil). Heat until the oil begins to smoke slightly, wipe away excess, and repeat 2 to 3 times to build a durable, naturally non-stick seasoned layer.

2. Mid-Service Scraping: Keep the cooking surface clean throughout trade by scraping rendered fats, marinade glaze, and meat fond into the front grease trough using a heavy-duty commercial grill scraper.

3. End-of-Shift Cleaning: At the close of service while the plate is still warm (around 100°C to 120°C), apply a splash of warm water or an approved non-caustic commercial griddle cleaner. Work the liquid across the plate with a grill scraper or griddle pad to lift carbonised residues.Never dump ice cubes or freezing water onto the hot plate, as severe thermal shock can warp the 20 mm steel plate or crack internal welds.

4. Drip Tray Clearing: Slide out the bottom stainless steel grease drawer daily. Empty collected oils and debris into an approved waste grease container, then wash the drawer in a commercial pot-wash sink with warm water and a heavy-duty degreaser.

5. Nightly Plate Protection: After cleaning and drying the mild steel plate at the end of trade, apply a light, even film of fresh cooking oil across the entire surface. This seals the steel against atmospheric humidity and prevents overnight surface oxidisation (rusting).

6. Stainless Steel Body Care: Wipe down the front control panel, outer casing, and splash guards daily using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm soapy water, wiping in the direction of the metal grain.

Gas Installation, Ventilation & Commissioning Notice

The Gasmax RGT-24ELPG is a commercial gas appliance requiring certified trade installation:

1. Licensed Gas Fitter Commissioning: The unit must be installed, pressure-tested, and commissioned by an authorised, licensed gas fitter in strict compliance with current AS/NZS 5601 gas installation regulations, local council health bylaws, and manufacturer specifications. An official gas compliance certificate must be retained to validate warranty coverage.

2. Gas Supply Line & Sizing: Calibrated for universal Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and fitted with a 3/4" rear gas connection. Because the appliance draws 54 Mj/h across its dual burners, ensure incoming LPG bottle manifolds, pigtails, and dual-stage gas regulators maintain rated operating pressure without pressure drops when running alongside other cookline equipment.

3. Exhaust Extraction Requirements: Generating direct radiant heat, grease-laden cooking vapours, and combustion gases, the unit must be operated directly beneath an approved commercial kitchen exhaust extraction hood compliant with AS 1668.2.

4. Bench Placement & Stand Mounting: Due to its 90 kg net weight, install the unit on a reinforced commercial stainless steel workbench or mount it directly onto the matching Gasmax QR-24-SEN stainless steel stand. The supplied adjustable feet must be fitted to provide essential convective cooling airflow underneath the chassis. Maintain minimum clearances of at least 150 mm from combustible walls and 50 mm from non-combustible partitions.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial road freight delivery is available across Australia to commercial business addresses with level ground access or loading docks. Due to the unit's substantial 90 kg net weight, solid steel plate, and palletised transit requirements, deliveries to residential or non-commercial addresses require a customised tail-lift freight quote. Please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to placing your order to confirm site access details, doorway clearances (minimum 750 mm clear opening recommended), or to add the matching QR-24-SEN stand to your consignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operational advantages of a 20mm thick steel plate over thinner griddle plates?

Thinner griddle plates (e.g., 8 mm to 12 mm) lose surface heat quickly when loaded with cold or frozen proteins, causing food to stew in its own rendered juices rather than sear. The heavy-duty 20 mm plate on the Gasmax RGT-24ELPG stores massive thermal energy. When a heavy drop of cold burger patties or steaks hits the surface, the plate temperature remains stable, delivering immediate Maillard browning, crisp edges, and faster cooking times.

How does having two control knobs on a 610mm griddle improve kitchen workflow?

With two independently controlled heavy-duty burners, chefs can set up dual micro-temperature zones across the 610mm width. One half of the plate can be set to high heat (e.g., 220°C) for searing steaks, smash burgers, and bacon, while the adjacent half operates at a lower setting (e.g., 140°C) for caramelising onions, cooking fried eggs, or holding toasted buns without burning.

What is the advantage of pairing the RGT-24ELPG with the QR-24-SEN stand?

The optional QR-24-SEN stainless steel equipment stand matches the exact 610 mm x 850 mm footprint of the griddle. It securely supports the unit's 90 kg weight, sets the cooking surface at standard commercial working height, frees up primary workbench preparation space, and provides a sturdy lower undershelf for storing utensils, oils, and squeeze bottles.

Can this griddle be used in mobile food trucks and catering trailers?

Yes. Operating on bottled LPG with a compact 610mm width makes it well suited for mobile catering trailers, food trucks, and pop-up burger kitchens where mains Natural Gas is unavailable. The flame failure safety system also ensures immediate gas shut-off if drafts extinguish the burners inside mobile setups.

How do I activate the 4-year warranty coverage?

The Gasmax RGT-24ELPG comes standard with a 2-Year commercial parts and labour warranty. Venue operators who register their purchase online with the manufacturer within 14 days of the original invoice date receive an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty extension, providing up to 4 years of comprehensive commercial protection across Australia.
