How many people can the 48-inch plate cook for?

It is sized for crowds: four burners across 48 inches let you run burgers, eggs and pancakes at the same time for dozens of servings per batch.

Does it come with a cover?

Yes, it has a hard cover with latches that protects the griddle plate during transport and storage.

It rolls on four locking swivel casters and has heavy-duty side handles, but the unit is heavy, so plan for a truck or trailer and a second person.

It offers much more cooking area and dual tank holders, but it is heavier and less suited to a small patio than the 28- or 36-inch models.

Grease drains to the rear into two XL grease cups, which you empty as they fill.

Propane tanks, which sit in the dual tank holders on the cart; the burners are controlled by guarded knobs.
