36-Inch Gas Cooktop with 6 Burners - High Heat 72,000 BTU

Our review of this 36-in gas cooktop focuses on serious home cooks and small commercial kitchens that need flexible, high-output burners in a compact footprint. The bottom line: this cooktop delivers strong, consistent heat with a total of 72,000 BTU and a mix of triple-ring 18,000 BTU burners, rapid 12,000 BTU burners and simmer-friendly 6,000 BTU burners, so it handles searing, rapid boiling and gentle simmering without switching ranges. It is CSA certified and NG/LP convertible, making it a practical choice for installations that require either fuel type.

Key Features

• 72,000 BTU total output: Provides a wide heat range so users can move from powerful searing to low simmer without compromising performance.
• Six-burner layout: The mix of two 18,000 BTU triple-ring, two 12,000 BTU rapid and two 6,000 BTU semi-rapid burners gives precise control for multitask cooking.
• NG/LP convertible: Comes pre-set for natural gas and includes an LP conversion kit so it can be adapted for different installations or RV and outdoor use.
• 304 stainless steel surface: Durable, heat-resistant construction cleans quickly with water and detergent and resists routine wear.
• Safety and ignition: CSA certified with pulse ignition and thermocouple flameout protection for reliable starts and automatic shutoff if flame goes out.
• Cast iron grates and ABS knobs: Heavy-duty grates support cookware stably while heat-resistant knobs stand up to everyday use.

Who It's For

This cooktop suits home chefs who want commercial-style heat in a 36-in built-in unit and need a variety of burner sizes for different techniques, from high-heat searing to gentle simmering. It also fits kitchens that require NG/LP conversion flexibility or those replacing smaller cutouts where space is limited.

Shoppers who need a full-range with a large stovetop surface might prefer a freestanding range with an oven included, and customers who value ultra-quiet electronic ignition systems should note this model uses a pulse ignition and heavier cast-iron grate setup.
