36,000 BTUs, Two Heat Zones, and Illuminated Knobs — Flat-Top Cooking Built Into Your Outdoor Kitchen
Dual U-burners let you sear on one side and simmer on the other — at the same time, without moving anything.
The KoKoMo Professional KO-GRDL30-PRO is a 30″ built-in teppanyaki griddle that brings restaurant-style flat-top cooking to a permanent outdoor kitchen setup. Two 18,000-BTU U-shaped stainless steel burners deliver a combined 36,000 BTUs with independent controls for true two-zone cooking — sear steaks on high heat on one side while sautéing vegetables or holding food warm on the other. The included stainless lid lets you trap heat for steaming and smoking, while illuminated knobs and 110V push-button ignition make evening use as easy as daytime. Built entirely from 304 stainless steel and designed for flush island installation, it's the flat-top upgrade that makes an outdoor kitchen genuinely versatile. Available in natural gas or liquid propane.

36,000 BTUs
Dual U-Shape Burners
Two 18,000-BTU U-shaped stainless steel burners heat rapidly and evenly across the full 30″ surface — no cold spots, no waiting.
Two Heat Zones
Independent Temperature Control
Each burner has its own control knob, so you can run high-heat sear on one side and a gentle simmer on the other simultaneously — without splitting the cook across two appliances.
Lid Included
Steam, Cover & Protect
The included stainless steel lid traps heat for steaming and smoking techniques, protects the surface when not in use, and keeps the griddle clean between cooks.
Illuminated Knobs
110V Push-Button Ignition
Lit control knobs make evening use easy, and 110V push-button ignition means reliable starts every time — a Professional Series exclusive over the standard KO-GRDL30.
304 Stainless Steel
Built for Permanent Outdoor Use
Body, burners, lid, and grease tray are all marine-grade 304 stainless steel — resists corrosion, easy to clean, and holds a polished finish year-round.

Deep Dive — KO-GRDL30-PRO Performance & Construction›
Why a Built-In Flat-Top Belongs in Your Outdoor Kitchen
A griddle does things a grill grate simply cannot — pancakes, eggs, smash burgers, stir-fry, seared scallops, teppanyaki. The flat cooking surface gives you contact heat across the entire bottom of the food rather than just at the grate bars, which means better browning, more control over delicate proteins, and the ability to cook things that would fall through a grill entirely. Paired alongside a gas or charcoal grill in the same island, the KO-GRDL30-PRO turns your outdoor kitchen into a genuinely complete cooking station.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
The Deck & Den Take — The illuminated knobs and 110V ignition are what separate the PRO from the standard KO-GRDL30 — genuinely useful if you're cooking after dark or want the added confidence of a push-button start. The lid is the other underrated feature: it turns this from a pure sear station into something that can steam, smoke, and proof dough. If you're planning a full outdoor kitchen, a griddle next to your gas grill gives you a completely different cooking capability rather than doubling up on what you already have.

Manuals & Documents›
KO-GRDL30-PRO — Frequently Asked Questions›
What is the difference between the KO-GRDL30-PRO and the standard KO-GRDL30?›
The Professional adds illuminated control knobs and 110V push-button ignition. The cooking performance, BTU output, burner configuration, and cooking surface are the same across both models.
What fuel types does this griddle support?›
Natural gas and liquid propane — select your fuel type above before adding to cart.
Does this require 110V power for the ignition?›
Yes — the push-button ignition and illuminated knobs require a 110V connection at the installation location. Plan your island wiring accordingly before installation.
What can I cook on a flat-top griddle that I can't on a grill grate?›
The flat surface gives you full-contact heat across the bottom of the food — ideal for smash burgers, pancakes, eggs, stir-fry, seared scallops, quesadillas, fried rice, and anything that would fall through a grill grate or requires a solid cooking surface.
What does the lid do?›
The included stainless steel lid traps heat and steam for techniques like steaming vegetables, melting cheese, or light smoking. It also protects the cooking surface when the griddle is not in use.
How do I clean the griddle surface?›
While still warm, scrape the surface with a flat griddle scraper, wipe with a cloth, and apply a thin layer of oil to re-season. The full-width grease tray collects drippings during cooking and slides out for easy disposal and cleaning.
Does the griddle need to be seasoned before first use?›
Yes — like any stainless or steel flat-top surface, the KO-GRDL30-PRO benefits from an initial seasoning with a high-smoke-point oil before the first cook. Heat the griddle, apply a thin coat of oil, let it smoke off, and repeat two to three times. Refer to the owner's manual for the recommended seasoning procedure.
Is this built-in only, or can it be used freestanding?›
Built-in only. The KO-GRDL30-PRO is designed for permanent flush installation in an outdoor kitchen island.
What is the warranty?›
KoKoMo covers the griddle housing with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, the burners and grates with a 10-Year Limited Warranty, and all other parts with a 2-Year Limited Warranty, honored directly by KoKoMo.
Does Deck & Den ship this griddle for free?›
Yes — free shipping on orders over $100 within the contiguous 48 states, with a 45-day return window and price match available.
