When you're choosing among 6-burner commercial cooking equipment, the decision usually comes down to fuel and budget. Do you need a new, high-output liquid propane range with extra cooking surfaces, or can a used natural gas range at a much lower price handle your kitchen's workload? Both of these models have something real to offer, but they're aimed at very different kitchens, menus, and utility setups.
Quick verdict
The Commercial Kitchen 60" liquid propane range is listed at $3,226.94 and brings a new unit with six high-output burners and a built-in griddle. The Garland 34" natural gas range is listed at $1,498.00, a $1,728.94 spread, but it's used, needs manual lighting for the burners, and shows signs of a previous commercial kitchen. If your priority is new condition and flat-top cooking capacity, go with the Commercial Kitchen. If your priority is saving money and staying on natural gas, the Garland is the more sensible pick.

Product notes
Commercial Kitchen 60" Liquid Propane Range
This is the new, full-size workhorse for kitchens running on liquid propane. Six 30,000 BTU open-top burners sit under cast iron lift-off grates, and the 24-inch griddle/broiler gives you a flat-top cooking surface without needing a separate appliance. The two standard ovens are sized for batch cooking, and the 9 1/2-inch back shelf plus 4 1/2-inch plate rail add practical landing space. It also comes with adjustable legs and a 3/4-inch gas connection. The limitation is the fuel requirement and its intended setting: it runs only on liquid propane and is meant for a business location, not residential use. At $3,226.94, it's the higher-priced option, but you're paying for new condition and genuine capacity.
Garland 6 Burner 34" Natural Gas Range
The Garland is the budget-minded pick. This used natural gas range comes out of a commercial kitchen and still delivers: all six burners function, though they have to be lit with a lighter, and the oven works as well. The oven's pilot light stays lit, but the igniter doesn't work, so you'll light that manually too. The fan is powerful, and the knobs and flame adjustment all work. It runs on natural gas and uses standard 120V wall outlet wiring for the fan. The drawbacks are part of the package: there's visible grease and gunk on the back where it sat against a wall, it's shipped as is, and the manual/wiring diagram is ruined. For someone who can handle manual ignition and cosmetic wear, the lower price makes the trade-off worthwhile.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the Commercial Kitchen 60" liquid propane range if your kitchen has an LP hookup, you need a large flat-top surface, and you want a new unit with substantial oven space.
- Choose the Garland 34" natural gas range if natural gas is available, your space is tight, and you're comfortable with manual ignition and used-condition wear to keep costs down.
