Le Griddle Pro Series 40 16-Inch 1-Burner Gas Griddle w/ 3mm Plate – OML40P3

Description

The Le Griddle Pro Series 40 – OML40P3 is the most compact model in the Pro Series lineup — a 16-inch single-burner gas griddle purpose-built for small outdoor kitchens, accessory cooking stations, or as a dedicated flat-top surface alongside a primary grill. A single 9,000-BTU U-shaped stainless steel burner heats a 3mm triple-plated cooking surface — featuring a 304 stainless steel face, cast-iron base, and aluminum core — with the same even-heat technology as the larger Pro Series models. Color-changing LED knobs, halogen surface lighting, and a signature puddle light deliver the full Pro Series lighting experience in the smallest available format.

Key Features: 

• 1 × 9,000-BTU U-Shaped Stainless Steel Burner: Precise, even heat across the compact 16-inch cooking surface with consistent results
• 3mm Triple-Plated Cooking Surface: 304 stainless steel face, cast-iron base, and aluminum core — fast heat-up with even distribution across the full surface
• Texas Sea Glass Matte Finish: Premium matte cooking surface for enhanced performance and professional aesthetics
• Color-Changing LED Knobs: Blue when off, red when on — clear burner status indicator for safe operation
• Signature Puddle Light: Ambient illumination for outdoor kitchen presence after dark
• Halogen Surface Lighting: Hood-activated lights illuminate the cooking surface for nighttime use
• Removable Dishwasher-Safe Grease Tray: Easy pull-out grease management; dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup
• Propane & Natural Gas Compatible: Conversion kit included; hoses sold separately
• Requires 110V Connection: Transformer included
• USA-Made Construction: Engineered, tested, and rated for residential outdoor and commercial indoor use
• Lifetime Warranty: Cooking surfaces and burners for life; all other parts 10 years
• Cutout Dimensions: 14-3/4″ W × 16-3/4″ D × 5-1/2″ H — verify with island builder before ordering
• Installation Note: Non-combustible cabinet required; insulated liner (GFLINER40) needed for combustible installations. Optional portable cart: GFCART40

Best For: 

1. Small outdoor kitchens and compact island builds: The 16-inch footprint fits tighter cutout spaces where a full-size griddle is not practical
2. Secondary flat-top station alongside a primary grill: Ideal for adding griddle capability — pancakes, eggs, smash burgers, stir-fry — without a full griddle island build
3. Entertaining smaller groups or cooking single courses: 9,000 BTUs over a 16-inch surface is appropriately scaled for 2–4 servings at a time
4. Buyers who want Pro Series features in the smallest format: Full LED lighting suite and triple-plated surface at compact scale
5. Portable cart installations: Compatible with optional GFCART40 for freestanding use where no built-in island is available

Notice: If installing this unit into a cabinet, the cabinet must be made of a non-combustible material or an insulation liner must be used. This appliance may also be placed on a non-combustible surface or the optional portable cart.
