The Wood Stone WS-GPL-3636-CT01 Gas Plancha 36" High-Temperature Griddle is a commercial cooking appliance designed for professional foodservice operations requiring precise temperature control, rapid heat recovery, and versatile cooking capabilities. Offering a high-performance alternative to traditional flat-top griddles, the Gas Plancha combines the direct-contact cooking functionality of a griddle with the high-temperature searing and caramelization characteristics of a gas charbroiler.
Featuring a 3/4-inch-thick smooth steel cooking surface measuring 36 inches wide by 24 inches deep, the Gas Plancha incorporates three independently adjustable, thermostatically controlled heating zones. Each zone is heated by a 28,300 BTU/hr burner, allowing operators to maintain different cooking temperatures simultaneously. Wood Stone's proprietary control system provides uniform, consistent temperature regulation across the entire cooking surface, with fast heat recovery even under demanding cooking loads. The adjustable temperature range of 150°F to 650°F supports a variety of culinary applications, including searing and sautéing, while producing the color and flavor associated with chargrilled foods.
The WS-GPL-3636-CT01 features a compact 36-inch by 36-inch footprint, making it suitable for countertop installation in commercial kitchens. A stainless steel backsplash helps contain cooking splatter, while a removable drip tray supports convenient grease and debris management. The unit is supported by four legs and can also be installed on an optional Wood Stone stand equipped with front locking casters for additional mobility.
Available in natural gas and liquid propane configurations, the Gas Plancha has a rated gas input of 75,000 BTU/hr for natural gas or 72,000 BTU/hr for propane. The appliance operates on a standard 120 VAC electrical connection and requires ventilation through a Listed Type 1 exhaust hood or an appropriate hood constructed in accordance with NFPA 96 and applicable codes. Delivered completely assembled and manufactured in the USA, the Wood Stone Gas Plancha 36" combines high-temperature cooking performance, three-zone temperature control, and durable commercial construction.
