Choosing commercial cooking equipment rarely comes down to burner count alone. The real decision is how much cooktop and oven capacity your kitchen needs for the floor space you can give up. These two LP ranges sit at opposite ends of that trade-off: a compact model with a space saver oven and a full-size model with griddle capacity. This head-to-head helps you decide by looking at listed price, useful capacity, and where each range fits in a working kitchen.
Quick Verdict
Both ranges are built for business kitchens, but they solve different problems. The compact range sits at USD 1,729.00 and keeps the footprint small. The full-size Cooking Performance Group range sits at USD 3,226.94 and delivers more cooktop and oven capacity. Base your choice on available floor space and expected cook load, not just the listed price.
At a Glance
| Range | Listed Price | Burners | Cooktop | Oven | Price Bar |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stove 24-Inch Gas 4 Burner | USD 1,729.00 | 4 burners, 128,000 total BTU | Cast iron grates, no griddle | Space saver oven | |
| Commercial Kitchen 60-Inch LP 6-Burner | USD 3,226.94 | 6 x 30,000 BTU open burners | 24-inch griddle/broiler, cast iron lift-off grates | 2 standard ovens |
Where the 24-Inch Range Wins
- It works in a tighter kitchen station where counter space is limited.
- The oven has an enamel interior, two chrome racks, and a temperature range from 175°F to 550°F.
- The total 128,000 BTU output is a sensible match for moderate cooking loads.
Where the 60-Inch Range Wins
- It lets you run open-top cooking and a griddle at the same time.
- The oven section gives separate baking and roasting space, and the bottoms are porcelainized.
- A 9 1/2-inch back shelf and a 4 1/2-inch plate rail add landing space and a safety rail.
- Adjustable legs and a 3/4-inch gas connection are part of the installation setup.
Product Notes
Stove 24-Inch Gas 4 Burner Restaurant Range
If your cooking station is cramped, this range delivers four open burners and an oven without demanding a wide footprint. It uses liquid propane, has cast iron top grates, and includes a drip tray under the burners to catch grease. The top burners produce 32,000 BTU each, the oven burner produces 24,000 BTU, and the oven spans 175°F to 550°F. You also get two chrome oven racks, an enamel interior, and standing pilots with an oven safety shut-off. The limitation is the cooktop: there is no griddle on this range, so flat-top cooking would need separate equipment. For a compact protein-and-sauté station, though, this range covers the basics well.
Commercial Kitchen 60-Inch LP 6-Burner Range
This Cooking Performance Group range is built for kitchens that need to run several cooking stations at once. Six 30,000 BTU open top burners with cast iron lift-off grates sit next to a 24-inch manual steel griddle/broiler with three 12,000 BTU burners. The oven section is actually two standard ovens with porcelainized bottoms, and the range includes a 9 1/2-inch back shelf and a 4 1/2-inch plate rail. Adjustable legs and a 3/4-inch gas connection round out the installation details. The limiting factor is size: at 60 inches wide with two full ovens and a griddle, it needs dedicated floor space and a liquid propane hookup in a business location. If your menu does not rely on a griddle and you do not need multiple burners running at once, this range is more machine than necessary.
Final Choice by Use Case
Pick the Stove range if you are short on floor space and want a compact LP range with a usable oven for small-batch cooking.
Pick the Cooking Performance Group range if you expect high-volume service, need a griddle plus multiple open burners running at once, and have room for a full-size range with extra oven capacity.
