Description
A 24" heavy duty manual griddle with a fully welded frame, for breakfast, burger and sandwich lines that run all day.
The RDMG-24 is Royal's Delux Series manual griddle in the 24" width: two 30,000 BTU stainless steel U-shaped burners, one every 12", under a 3/4" thick polished steel plate with a 24" cooking depth. It suits diners, grills and breakfast lines that want simple valve control and a heavier build than the standard line, with a fully welded frame and mineral wool insulation. It lights with standing pilots and needs no electrical outlet.

Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier; the shipping cost depends on your location. See our shipping policy for details.
- Call (201) 467-8222 for the current lead time before you schedule installation.
- Choose natural gas or LP when you order. If your kitchen is above 2,000 feet, tell us the elevation so Royal can set the unit up for it.
- A qualified gas installer must connect the supplied regulator and a manual shut-off valve ahead of the unit, following local codes.
- Inspect the shipment before signing and note any visible damage on the freight bill.
Questions buyers ask
Does it run on natural gas or propane?
Either. Pick Natural Gas or Liquid Propane (LP) before adding it to the cart; Royal builds it for the gas you specify. Tell us your elevation if you are above 2,000 feet.
Does it need electricity?
No. It lights with standing pilots and the burners run on manual valves, so no outlet is needed.
How is the temperature controlled?
By hand: each of the two burners has its own manual valve, so you can run one side hotter than the other. There is no thermostat; Royal's RDTG and RDSA griddles are the thermostatic versions.
What is the difference between the RDMG-24 and the RDMG-24-D?
The RDMG-24 has a 24" cooking depth and is 32-1/2" deep overall. The RDMG-24-D has a 30" deep cooking surface and a 1" plate; Royal's catalog lists it at 38-1/2" deep overall.
What gas connection does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear. Manifold pressure is 5" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane; the regulator ships with the unit for your installer to connect.
How much clearance does it need?
The spec sheet lists 4" rear and 15" sides from combustible walls; Royal's owner's manual lists 6" rear and 4" sides. Plan for the larger figures, or 0" from non-combustible walls.
What does the warranty cover?
Royal's limited warranty is 2 years on parts and 1 year on labor from installation (up to 30 months from manufacture), with labor done by an authorized Royal service agency. Royal lists the welded frame with a lifetime warranty.
How do I clean the griddle plate?
Daily, scrub the warm plate with warm water and a fine-grit griddle brick, and empty and clean the grease can. Wipe stainless steel with hot soapy water; don't use steel wool or abrasive powders.
