Choosing a four-burner commercial gas range means deciding how much cooking surface you need beyond the burners themselves. The options in this comparison span a $713 countertop hot plate to a $2,185 72-inch station with a griddle, grill, and two ovens. If you are outfitting a compact kitchen, adding an oven to an existing counter, or replacing a full cooking line, the right choice depends on width, storage needs, and whether you already have a griddle or grill.
Quick take
All four gas units in this comparison offer four burners. Two are new WESTLAKE models, and two are used units: an American Range stove with oven and a Comstock-Castle heavy-duty station. The new models are 24 inches wide, while the Comstock-Castle spans 72 inches. The main trade-off is oven capacity versus cooktop specialization. If you need an oven in a narrow footprint, the WESTLAKE 24-inch range is the new option. If you need a griddle and grill built into the same line, the Comstock-Castle is the only unit that includes both.

Decision at a glance
- Need a full oven in a narrow 24-inch footprint: WESTLAKE 24-inch Commercial Gas Range with Oven.
- Want an oven at a lower listed price and are comfortable with used equipment: American Range 4-Burner Stove with Oven.
- Need only open burners on a countertop: WESTLAKE 24-inch Countertop Gas Range Hot Plate.
- Need a griddle, grill, and double ovens in one station: Comstock-Castle 72-inch Gas Range.
WESTLAKE 24-inch Commercial Gas Range with Oven
Listed at USD 1,729.52, this is the only new range in the group with a standard oven as part of the base. The RGR24 model carries 151,000 BTU across four burner positions and is listed with a stove-top burner style and no griddle, so you get baking and roasting space without giving up extra cooktop width. At 24 inches, it suits a compact cooking line. The limitation is the lack of a griddle or grill; if your menu depends on flat-top cooking, you would need a separate piece of equipment. It also carries a higher listed price than the used American Range oven model.
American Range H.D. Commercial Gas 4-Burner Stove with Oven
Listed at USD 1,099.99, this used unit is a natural gas stove with an oven. The stated oven measurements are roughly 13 inches high, 20 inches wide, and 24.5 inches deep, inside a 24-inch-wide overall footprint. The description notes it was removed from a closing business and cleaned, though further cleaning may be needed to meet your standards. Since this is a used unit, you are accepting previous kitchen duty in exchange for a lower listed price than the new WESTLAKE oven range. The listing specifies natural gas, so it is not described as a dual-fuel or propane convertible model.
WESTLAKE 24-inch Countertop Gas Range Hot Plate
At USD 713.00, this new countertop range is the lowest listed price in the comparison. The NHHP-24-T model offers 100,000 BTU from four open burners with manual controls and is designed for countertop installation, which can help free up floor space. It is specified for natural gas. The trade-off is that there is no oven, griddle, or grill; this is a straight hot-plate-style burner surface. It works best if you already have a separate oven or only need extra stovetop capacity for pots and pans rather than baking or flat-top cooking.
Comstock-Castle 72-inch Gas Range with Griddle and Grill
This 72-inch used station is the only product in this comparison that combines four burners with a 24-inch griddle, a 24-inch grill, and two ovens. Listed at USD 2,185.00, it also carries the highest listed price in the group. The burners sit beneath robust 12-inch square cast iron grates. The griddle is described as a thick polished steel plate with manual controls, and the grill uses angle iron radiants. The all-in-one configuration makes it a strong candidate for a high-volume cooking line, but its width demands significant floor space, and the used condition means you are getting a previous kitchen's workhorse rather than a new unit.
Final recommendation by use case
- If you want a new oven-equipped range in a compact 24-inch footprint, the WESTLAKE 24-inch Commercial Gas Range with Oven is the most direct fit.
- If an oven matters more than new condition and you want a lower listed price, the American Range 4-Burner Stove with Oven is the option to weigh.
- If you need countertop stovetop space and no oven, the WESTLAKE 24-inch Countertop Hot Plate offers the lowest listed price in this set.
- If you need a griddle and grill alongside four burners and double ovens, the Comstock-Castle 72-inch Gas Range is the only model here that covers all of those stations in one piece.
