Infernus LPG Griddle Review: 60, 75, 100 and 120cm Stainless Models
Last updated: October 2026
In 30 seconds:
- Four widths, one design: the Infernus stainless LPG griddle comes in 60, 75, 100 and 120cm, from £449 to £847.
- Power climbs with width: 6kW, 9kW, 12kW and 15kW. Every cooking plate is 40cm deep, so width is what buys you cooking space.
- Our pick for most burger and breakfast vans is the 100cm, from £679. It has the best balance of plate size and price.
- Set up for propane out of the box, with flame failure on every burner. Regulator and hose are extra.
The Infernus 100cm is the griddle more of our customers buy than any other. That is not because it is fancy. It is a plain, heavy steel plate over four burners, at a price that leaves room in the budget for the rest of the van.
A stainless LPG griddle like this is the standard workhorse for UK burger vans, breakfast trailers and event caterers. This review covers all four Infernus sizes: what each one puts out, who it suits, and where it falls short.
The honest summary
The biggest mistake is buying the widest griddle your budget allows. A 120cm plate in a van that sells 40 breakfasts a morning just burns more propane and eats bench space. Size the plate to your busiest hour, then check your bench, your cylinders and your ventilation.
Infernus LPG griddles compared
All four share the same build: stainless steel body, steel cooking plate, horseshoe burners, flame-failure protection, a fat drawer and adjustable feet. Specs below come from the Infernus listings and the CE manual for this griddle range, where the two agree.
| Size | Heat input | Cooking area (cm) | Outer size W × D × H (mm) | Plate temperature | Weight | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60cm | 6kW | 59.7 × 40 | 600 × 590 × 400 | 190–300°C | 36kg | £449 |
| 75cm | 9kW (3 burners) | 74.7 × 40 | 750 × 590 × 400 | 200–320°C | 44kg | £534 |
| 100cm | 12kW (4 burners) | 99.7 × 40 | 1000 × 590 × 400 | 210–350°C | 65kg | £679 |
| 120cm | 15kW (5 burners) | 119.7 × 40 | 1200 × 590 × 400 | 210–350°C | see listing | £847 |
Each size is also listed with a chrome plate option. Every model has a ½-inch BSP connection and runs on propane at 37 mbar.
Infernus 60cm: for a small menu or a coffee trailer adding food
Quick specs
- Heat input: 6kW (4kW at the low setting).
- Plate: 12mm steel, with a 59.7 × 40cm cooking area.
- Temperature: 190°C to 300°C.
- Size and weight: 600 × 590 × 400mm, 36kg.
- Price: from £449.
Best for
A coffee trailer adding bacon rolls, a kiosk with a short menu, or a second griddle for eggs and onions next to a bigger one.
Don’t buy it for
- A burger van as the only griddle. At peak you will run out of plate.
- Cooking two very different foods at once. There is less room to keep a cooler area.
Trade-off: it is light enough for one person to move for cleaning, but its smaller heat input recovers more slowly after a big load of frozen burgers.
Infernus 75cm: the step up for a starter burger van
Quick specs
- Heat input: 9kW from 3 burners (6kW at the low setting).
- Plate: 12mm steel, with a 74.7 × 40cm cooking area.
- Temperature: 200°C to 320°C.
- Size and weight: 750 × 590 × 400mm, 44kg.
- Warranty: 1 year, parts only.
- Price: from £534.
Best for
A new burger or breakfast van with a modest queue, or a trailer where the bench can’t take a metre-wide unit.
Trade-off: three burners give you three heat zones. You can run one end low for holding cooked food while the other two sear.
Infernus 100cm: the one most vans should buy
Quick specs
- Heat input: 12kW from 4 burners (8kW at the low setting).
- Cooking area: 99.7 × 40cm, roughly two-thirds more than the 60cm.
- Temperature: 210°C to 350°C.
- Size and weight: 1000 × 590 × 400mm, 65kg.
- Warranty: 1 year, parts only.
- Price: from £679.

Best for
A busy burger, breakfast or street-food van with one or two people on the plate. It has room to sear burgers, toast buns and hold onions at the same time.
Why we recommend it
It hits the sweet spot on price per centimetre. The 100cm costs £145 more than the 75cm and gives you roughly a third more cooking area. Its top temperature of 350°C also beats the 75cm, which helps a crowded plate recover.
Trade-off: at 65kg it is a two-person lift. Fit it once on a solid bench and leave it there.
Infernus 120cm: for festivals, events and two cooks
Quick specs
- Heat input: 15kW from 5 burners (10kW at the low setting).
- Cooking area: 119.7 × 40cm, the largest in the range.
- Temperature: 210°C to 350°C.
- Size: 1200 × 590 × 400mm.
- Warranty: 1 year, parts only.
- Price: from £847.

Best for
Festival and event catering where two cooks work the plate side by side, or a large trailer feeding a long queue.
Don’t buy it for
- A standard-length van bench. Measure first: you need 1200mm plus side clearance.
- Steady, modest trade. At full flame it burns two and a half times the propane of the 60cm.
Trade-off: it needs a large propane supply. Plan your cylinders before the first event, not on the day.
What you need before you fit one
- A propane regulator, hose and isolation valve. These are not included. The manual allows a flexible hose of up to 1.5 metres.
- The right cylinders. The manual specifies 9kg to 23kg propane cylinders, kept at least 1 metre from the griddle in a ventilated space.
- Clearance. Allow at least 100mm at the sides, back and underneath, and keep combustible materials away.
- Clear legs. Combustion air comes from underneath, so the feet must be fitted and the space below kept clear.
- Ventilation. The griddle must be used in a well-ventilated space, away from fans and open windows that blow at the flames.
- A Gas Safe registered engineer. The propane connection must be made and checked by one.
No electrical connection is needed. The griddle runs entirely on propane, which keeps it simple on a van without a big generator.

Where the Infernus falls short
Be clear about what you are buying. The Infernus is controlled by hand. Each burner has a gas control knob that you turn between HIGH and LOW to reach the heat you want, rather than a dial you set to a temperature.
- Heat set by hand: the plate temperature follows the knob, not a set point. You learn your settings by eye and by feel.
- Parts-only warranty: one year, parts only, against two years on a Parry.
- Not for open-air use: the manual says not to use it out of doors. It belongs in a van, trailer or kitchen, not on an open gazebo stall.
If you want thermostatic control, the Parry PGG6P costs from £1,179 and the Lincat GS7/P from £1,499. If you want a heavier plate, the Infernus heavy-duty 20mm range starts from £565, but it ships set for natural gas and needs converting to propane. Our best LPG griddle for mobile catering guide compares them side by side, and our LPG griddles range lists every model.
Our verdict
For most burger and breakfast vans, buy the Infernus 100cm. It gives you room for a real queue at a price that leaves money for cylinders and the rest of the van. Choose the 75cm if your bench is short, and the 120cm only if two people will cook on it.
Pay more for a Parry or Lincat when you need thermostatic control, or for a Parry when you want the 2-year warranty. Otherwise, the Infernus does the job day in, day out.
Frequently asked questions
Which Infernus griddle size should I buy for a burger van?
For most burger vans, the 100cm is the right size. It has a 99.7 × 40cm cooking area and 12kW from four burners, from £679. Choose the 75cm for a short bench or a modest queue, and the 120cm if two people cook at once.
Do Infernus griddles run on propane?
Yes. The stainless Infernus griddles come set up for LPG, and in a food van that means propane at 37 mbar. A natural gas conversion kit is included for use in a fixed kitchen on mains gas.
Does the Infernus griddle come with a regulator and hose?
No. The regulator, hose, isolation valve and adaptor are not included. Budget for them separately. The manual allows a flexible hose of up to 1.5 metres, and a Gas Safe registered engineer must make the connection.
How hot does an Infernus griddle get?
The 60cm runs from 190°C to 300°C and the 75cm from 200°C to 320°C. The 100cm and 120cm run from 210°C to 350°C. Each burner has its own knob, so you can keep one area cooler for holding food.
Can I use an Infernus griddle outdoors on a market stall?
No. The manual says not to use it out of doors and to install it only in a well-ventilated space. It is designed for a van, trailer or kitchen. Wind across open flames is also a safety risk and wastes propane.
What size propane cylinder does an Infernus griddle need?
The manual specifies 9kg to 23kg propane cylinders. Keep the cylinder at least 1 metre from the griddle in a ventilated space, fixed upright. The bigger griddles burn more propane, so the 120cm needs the largest supply.
What warranty comes with an Infernus griddle?
The 75cm, 100cm and 120cm listings give a 1-year, parts-only warranty. That is shorter than the 2 years on a Parry griddle, and it is one reason the Infernus costs less.
Is an Infernus griddle as good as a Parry or Lincat?
It does the same basic job for less money, but you control the heat by hand with a HIGH to LOW gas knob. A Parry PGG6P from £1,179 or a Lincat GS7/P from £1,499 gives thermostatic control, and the Parry carries a 2-year warranty. For most vans, the Infernus is the better value.
