Description
A 36" Southbend stock pot range with 240,000 BTU, for big pots at a low working height.
The Southbend SPR-2J is a 36" floor-standing stock pot range for soups, stocks, sauces, boiling and frying in big pots. Two three-ring cast iron burners (15,000, 45,000 and 60,000 BTU rings, each on its own knob) give 240,000 BTU on natural gas or propane, from a simmer to a full boil. Its 24" height puts large pots at a low working height, and it needs no electricity.

Dimensions are from Southbend's 2026 price list and the stock pot range drawing (Form PSCF Rev 5, Oct 2021). Measure the floor space and delivery path before ordering.
3-ring burners
Each burner has three rings of 15,000, 45,000 and 60,000 BTU on separate knobs, so you can hold a simmer or bring a full pot to a boil.
Low working height
The cooking surface is 24" off the floor, so tall stock pots sit low enough to fill, stir and check.
All-welded steel
A 14-gauge all-welded body with stainless front, sides and plate shelf, a removable welded steel grate and a welded drip tray under the burners.
Made in the USA
Built by Southbend in Fuquay-Varina, NC, with UL and NSF marks on the spec sheet and a 1-year parts and labor warranty.
