Description
The Blue Lava BLGM24-24D is a heavy-duty commercial countertop gas griddle designed for restaurants, diners, cafés, breakfast kitchens, concession operations, food trucks, hotels, catering facilities, and other high-volume foodservice environments.
This model features a spacious 24-inch-wide cooking surface supported by a durable 1-inch-thick griddle plate. The substantial plate construction helps retain and distribute heat across the cooking area, making the unit suitable for preparing burgers, steaks, eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, grilled sandwiches, vegetables, and other popular menu items.
Two independently controlled burners provide a combined output of 60,000 BTU per hour, with each 12-inch cooking section receiving approximately 30,000 BTU. Separate manual controls allow the operator to establish different heat zones across the plate, making it easier to cook multiple foods simultaneously.
The griddle also includes ever-ready standby pilots, a removable full-length grease tray, stainless steel exterior construction, and adjustable legs. Its straightforward manual-control design is well suited to demanding commercial kitchens that require dependable operation and easy maintenance.
The official Blue Air product catalog identifies BLGM24-24D as part of its commercial griddle line, while the manufacturer specification sheet confirms the 24-inch width, 33.5-inch depth, 15.25-inch height, dual 30,000-BTU burners, 1-inch plate, removable drip pan, and natural-gas factory setup.
