A Built-In 1-Hour Gas Flow Timer That Shuts the Gas Off For You — Commercial-Grade Confidence in Your Backyard
Three cast stainless burners, a double-walled hood, and an automatic gas-flow timer bring commercial-grade control and safety to your island.
The Videl Grills 36" Commercial Grill (model VG-3B36) is a built-in gas grill engineered for control and peace of mind. Three cast stainless steel burners deliver a combined 57,000 BTU total, with Flame Thrower ignition and carryover tubes for even, edge-to-edge heat across 860 square inches, while a built-in 1-hour gas flow timer automatically shuts off the gas when time expires — a real safety net if anyone in the house tends to walk away from a hot grill. A hood-mounted thermometer keeps you dialed in from 250°F to 700°F, and a double-walled hood holds heat steady through the coldest cookouts. Built from 304 stainless steel and certified to commercial sanitation standards, it's the confident centerpiece for a premium outdoor kitchen — in natural gas or liquid propane.

1-Hour Timer
Gas That Shuts Itself Off
A built-in gas flow timer automatically cuts the gas when time expires, so a distracted moment at a busy party never turns into a burner left running.
57,000 BTU

Deep Dive — Ignition, Heat Transfer & Everyday Upkeep▶
Flame Thrower Ignition and Carryover Tubes
Flame Thrower ignition fires your burners fast and reliably every time, and two carryover tubes pass the flame from burner to burner for even lighting across the grate — and instant reignition if one ever goes out. A hood-mounted thermometer keeps you dialed in across a 250°F to 700°F range, from low-and-slow to a hard sear.
Built for the Elements, Easy to Maintain
CoolTouch knobs and a CoolGrip handle let you adjust heat and lift the hood without a hot grip, while a full-sized slide-out drip tray makes cleanup fast and keeps grease away from the burners. The included Flavor Bars vaporize drippings for that classic smoky flavor, and a dedicated veggie grate helps you keep the small stuff out of the flames.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take▶
The Deck & Den Take — The 1-hour gas flow timer is the feature that sets this grill apart — it's a genuine safety net for busy hosts and a smart pick if anyone in the household tends to forget a burner. Two things to confirm before you order: that your fuel type matches your hookup (it ships set for natural gas and includes a propane conversion kit), and that your island opening is cut to exactly 32.5" W x 10" H x 22" D. Keep it out from under any overhead surface, and if you want a dedicated searing zone, you can add the Onyx Sear Burner upgrade in place of a standard burner. Want more raw output in the same size? Compare the four-burner Gran Fuego 36.

Frequently Asked Questions▶
What does the 1-hour gas flow timer do? ▶
The built-in 1-hour gas flow timer automatically shuts off gas flow when the set time expires. You can reset it during longer cooks, and it adds a meaningful layer of safety for busy outdoor kitchens.
How powerful is the Commercial Grill? ▶
It uses three cast stainless steel burners across 860 square inches of cooking surface, with a 250°F to 700°F range. The manufacturer's Use & Care Guide lists a 57,000 BTU rating; we're confirming the figure, so contact us if you need it verified before ordering.
Does it run on natural gas or propane? ▶
Both. Select your fuel type — Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP) — using the options above. It ships configured for natural gas and includes a propane conversion kit if you need LP.
What cutout size do I need for installation? ▶
The required island cutout is 32.5" wide x 10" high x 22" deep. The overall grill measures 36" x 22" x 25.75". Confirm against the manual before cutting your island.
What clearances are required? ▶
Per the manual, maintain a minimum 24" clearance from the sides and back, keep at least 24" under the countertop to combustible construction, and do not install the grill under an overhead surface. Never build the island from combustible materials. The grill is certified to ANSI Z21.58-2022 / CSA 1.6-2022 and NSF/ANSI 4.
What's the difference between this and the Gran Fuego 36? ▶
The Commercial Grill is a three-burner model with a built-in 1-hour gas flow safety timer and NSF/ANSI 4 sanitation certification. The Gran Fuego 36 is a four-burner model with higher output (68,000 BTU). Choose the Commercial for the safety timer and commercial-grade build, or the Gran Fuego for more raw power.
Can I add a sear burner? ▶
Yes. The Onyx Sear Burner is available as an optional upgrade and installs in place of one of the standard burners to add an intense, high-heat searing zone. It's sold separately.
What's it made of? ▶
It's built from 304 stainless steel with a double-walled hood for heat retention, corrosion resistance, and year-round outdoor durability.
How do I clean and maintain it? ▶
A full-sized slide-out drip tray makes cleanup quick. Burn off the grates after each use, clean the drip tray regularly, and follow the manual's annual maintenance steps. Videl recommends a thorough cleaning at least once a year.
What does the warranty cover? ▶
Videl Grills USA's manufacturer warranty provides a limited lifetime warranty on the cast stainless steel burners, a two-year warranty on parts such as the firebox, hood, grates, and Flavor Bars, and a one-year warranty on the gas valves and knobs, for original purchasers in the US and Canada for residential use, with proof of purchase.
