TrueFlame 30" Stainless Steel Griddle – 36,000 BTUs
36,000 BTUs Across a 495 Sq. In. Flat Top — One More Cooking Station Without Crowding Your Grill
A built-in stainless griddle that handles breakfast, smash burgers, and seared steaks in the same outdoor kitchen.
The TrueFlame 30" (TFG30) is a built-in gas griddle that turns your outdoor kitchen into a true multi-station setup. #304 stainless steel construction houses dual 18,000 BTU stainless U-tube burners (36,000 BTUs total) and a heat zone separator for dual-temperature cooking across a 495 sq. in. surface. A full-length exterior LED bar and backlit knob indicators add nighttime confidence, and a large-capacity drip tray plus removable stainless lid keep cleanup and protection simple. It's backed by the manufacturer's Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty.
Building a complete cook line? Pair this griddle with a TrueFlame 32" built-in gas grill with infrared back burner for high-heat searing plus flat-top versatility.
TFG30 Features & Benefits
A flat-top dedicated to the dishes your main grill isn't built for.
Total BTUs From Dual U-Tube Burners
Two 18,000 BTU stainless U-tube burners spread heat evenly across the whole cooking surface, from a gentle simmer to a hard sear.
Sq. In. Cooking Space
Plenty of room to run breakfast for a crowd or smash burgers for the whole table at once.
Heat Zone Separator
Run two temperatures at once — keep pancakes warm on one side while searing on the other.
Full-Length LED Bar & Knob Indicators
See burner status at a glance, even after the sun goes down.
Stainless Lid & Large Drip Tray
The lid protects the surface between cooks, and the large-capacity drip tray makes cleanup straightforward.
Built for Daily Use, Indoors-Kitchen Convenience Outdoors
A high-power flame-thrower ignition system gets both burners lit quickly and reliably, and #304 stainless steel construction throughout means the body and lid stand up to sun, rain, and heavy daily use. The griddle is ETL certified and compatible with the TrueFlame grill liner (GL-TFGRID30) for combustible-material island installs.
Who the TFG30 Is For
- Households that cook breakfast outdoors — pancakes, eggs, and bacon are far easier on a flat top than a grill grate.
- Anyone who hosts smash burger or taco nights and wants real flat-top searing, not a workaround.
- Outdoor kitchen builds that already have a grill and want to add a second, complementary cooking station.
- Cooks who want to run two temperatures at once without juggling pans on a single burner.
- Anyone who grills after dark and wants visible burner status without extra lighting.
