Star 872TCHSA Description
Featuring a 1-inch-thick chrome-plated cooking surface, the Star 872TCHSA Ultra-Max® gas griddle delivers thermal stability and simplified cleanup for busy kitchens. The griddle zones each output 30,000 BTU using liquid propane, totaling 180,000 BTU across the 72-inch-wide by 24-inch-deep surface. Each section includes a standing pilot and is adjusted using front-mounted heavy-duty metal knobs. Designed for precision, mechanical snap-action thermostats are embedded every 12 inches, positioned 3⁄16 inch beneath the plate to regulate surface temperatures between 150 and 550 degrees Fahrenheit. p>
Built for commercial resilience, the Star 872TCHSA Ultra-Max gas griddle is constructed of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and supported by a welded steel frame. A 43⁄8-inch tapered wrap-around splash guard helps contain grease and debris, while a 31⁄2-inch-wide front trough directs runoff into a 6-quart grease drawer below the cook zone. The griddle sits on four stainless steel legs that measure 4 inches and adjust by 13⁄8 inches to accommodate uneven surfaces. It connects to a gas line via a 3⁄4-inch NPT male inlet.
