Summerset Griddle Pro 30: a built in flat top for burgers and breakfast
The Summerset Griddle Pro 30 is a 30 inch built in gas griddle. It drops into a cutout in an outdoor kitchen island, so it has no legs of its own. It cooks smash burgers, breakfast, fried rice, and tacos on a flat surface instead of a grate. The body is 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty. Two stainless steel tube burners at 18,000 BTU each sit under the plate. The plate is a thick 8 millimeter slab of stainless steel, 543 square inches of it, that soaks up heat and gives it back evenly.
It lights with electronic ignition. A light over each knob turns red when that burner is on, so plan for an outlet nearby. A heat zone separator splits the plate, so one end can run hot while the other stays warm. A full width drip tray catches the scrapings, and a stainless steel lid comes in the box. On the page you pick natural gas or propane, and it comes built for that gas. A grill liner and a cover are optional on the page. A matching cart turns it into a freestanding griddle if you do not have an island. Want your griddle on wheels? See the Summerset Griddle Pro 30 Cart. The Summerset Griddle Pro 30 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is special about the Griddle Pro’s cooking surface?
It is 8mm-thick 304 stainless steel – a heavy plate that soaks up heat from the 18,000 BTU U-tube burners underneath and releases it evenly, so eggs at one end do not burn while tortillas warm at the other. A heat-zone separator lets you run different temperatures across the 543-square-inch surface.
What is a gas griddle actually for?
Flat-top cooking a grate cannot do: smash burgers, fried rice, breakfast spreads, street tacos. Where a grill sears over open flame, this outdoor griddle gives you a continuous stainless surface with precise control – closer to a diner flat-top than a barbecue.
How do I clean the Griddle Pro?
Scrape the still-warm plate with a griddle scraper and push debris into the full-width drip tray, then wipe the surface down with a lightly oiled cloth. Because the Griddle Pro’s top is stainless rather than bare steel, it handles moisture between cooks far more gracefully than typical flat-tops.
Do I need to season a stainless steel griddle?
A light seasoning helps food release, but the 304 stainless plate will not rust the way bare-steel griddle tops can if you miss a session. Wipe on a thin coat of high-smoke-point oil after cleaning and the Griddle Pro’s surface only improves with use.
Does the Griddle Pro come with a lid?
Yes – a removable 304 stainless steel lid is included. It protects the plate from weather and debris between cooks, and you can set it over food briefly to hold heat while finishing a batch. Many built-in griddles make you buy this separately.
Natural gas or propane for the built-in griddle?
Order GRIDPRO-NG for natural gas or GRIDPRO-LP for propane. Both drop into a masonry or Summerset island the same way, with LED pin lighting above each knob and white-to-red bezel lighting showing at a glance which burners are live.
What warranty comes with the Griddle Pro?
The Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty – Summerset’s industry-leading coverage – applies to this griddle just as it does to their grills. Commercial-grade stainless construction plus lifetime backing makes it a one-time purchase for the island, not a replace-every-few-summers appliance.
