36,000 BTUs Across Two Zones — The Grand Texan Brings Restaurant-Scale Griddling Home
The 60-inch, four-burner built-in or countertop gas griddle with a fitted lid included for large-scale outdoor cooking.
The Grand Texan pairs four independently controlled 9,000 BTU U-shaped burners — 36,000 BTUs combined — across two 29-3/8-inch cooking zones, so you can run different heat levels across roughly 925 in² instead of crowding a big group's breakfast onto one plate. It ships with a fitted stainless steel lid included, protecting the surface between cooks and adding heat retention while you're using it. Built from 304 stainless steel with the cooking surface bonded to an enameled cast-iron sub-plate, it's ready for either a built-in cutout or countertop setup and runs on natural gas or propane, with conversion orifices included either way. Battery-powered continuous-spark ignition lights each burner fast, and four thermocouple safety valves shut the gas off automatically if a flame goes out on any zone.

Deep Dive — Two Zones, 36,000 BTUs, One Included Lid▶
Room to Run Two Full Menus at Once
Each of the Grand Texan's four 9,000 BTU U-shaped burners has its own control, spread across two 29-3/8-inch cooking zones — so one side can hold a full breakfast spread while the other sears steaks for dinner service, all on the same cast-iron-backed stainless surface. The bonded enameled cast-iron sub-plate spreads heat evenly across both zones, and the fitted stainless lid closes down over the whole 60-inch surface to protect it between cooks and help hold heat in while you're using it.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take▶
The Deck & Den Take — The Grand Texan is the top of the Le Griddle lineup, and it's built for outdoor kitchens that genuinely cook for a crowd on a regular basis — think large family compounds, rental properties, or anyone who's already outgrown the Big Texan's 650 in². If that's not your situation, you'll save real money and installation headache stepping down to the Big Texan or Ranch Hand instead. Before you order: confirm with us or Le Griddle exactly what ships in the box versus what needs a separate purchase for a combustible-cabinet install — the included lid and the standalone insulation liner accessory are listed under the same part number on Le Griddle's own site, which is worth double-checking rather than assuming.
-
Large households and rental properties — 36,000 BTUs and ~925 in² across two zones handle serious volume.
-
Built-in outdoor kitchen builders — drops into a 60-1/4" x 16-3/4" cutout for a finished look.
-
Set-it-and-forget-it buyers — the lid ships in the box, so there's less to source separately.
