Stock Pot Ranges Seattle

Stock Pot Range Buying Guide for Seattle Restaurants

A stock pot range holds a heavy, full stock pot low to the floor and puts serious heat under it. Pho and ramen broth, soups, stocks, chili, boiling pasta, seafood boils and canning all run better on a stock pot stove than on a range top, where a big pot is too heavy to lift safely and too wide for the grate.

Many Seattle owners start by looking for a used stock pot stove, and many found the original Encore Seattle that way when it sold used restaurant equipment. Today Encore Seattle sells only new Atosa equipment. This guide explains why new is the better buy, then covers single vs. double, standard vs. low height, gas, installation and care.

Find Your Stock Pot Range Fast

New vs. Used Stock Pot Ranges

A stock pot stove looks almost indestructible. But it runs for hours at a time, takes boil-overs and carries heavy pots every day.

What wears out on a used stock pot range

• Burner rings: boil-overs clog the ports and crack cast iron rings, which leaves weak or uneven heat.
• Pilots: worn or dirty pilots won't stay lit.
• Valves: worn valves won't hold a steady simmer.
• Grate and frame: heavy pots crack grates and bend frames over time.
• Drip pan: often rusted, bent or missing.
• The wrong gas type: converting between natural gas and propane needs a technician and parts.

The warranty gap

Most used stock pot stoves are sold as-is. Every new Atosa stock pot range on this page carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty (US only).

The real cost of a used stock pot range

If you still buy used, check this first

• Light both rings on every burner and check for a steady blue flame.
• Look for cracked burner rings and grates.
• Make sure the pilots stay lit and the valves hold a low flame.
• Confirm the gas type and have a licensed technician install it.

Standard vs. Low Height

The standard models are 22-4/5" tall, and the low (L) models are 17-9/10" tall. A full stock pot is heavy and hot. The lower your pot sits, the easier it is to fill, stir, ladle and lift. Choose the low models for very tall pots or for cooks who work into the pot all day. Choose standard height if you want the pot rim closer to counter level.

Compare Every Atosa Stock Pot Range

Every ATSP stock pot range has cast iron three-ring burners rated at 80,000 BTU each (40,000 BTU per ring), a separate manual control for the inner and outer ring, two continuous pilots per burner, heavy-duty cast iron grates, a full-width removable stainless steel drip pan, stainless steel legs, and a 3/4" NPT rear gas connection with a regulator (4" W.C. natural gas, 10" W.C. propane). All are 18" wide and carry a 1-year parts and labor warranty.

On the double models, the second burner sits behind the first, so a double needs the same 18" of width as a single. Plan for about 42" of depth.

Using the Three-Ring Burner

• Inner ring only: for holding broth at a simmer for hours, or for smaller pots.
• Inner and outer rings: the full 80,000 BTU to bring a big pot to a boil quickly, or for a hard rolling boil.
• Center the pot on the grate so the heat spreads evenly across the bottom.
• Don't fill a pot so high that it boils over onto the burner. Boil-overs clog the burner ports.

Installation, Gas and Ventilation

• Use a licensed technician for installation and gas hookup. Not for outdoor use.
• Install under an exhaust hood as local code requires. Long boils put a lot of steam into the kitchen.
• Set it on a level, non-combustible floor that can carry the stove plus a full pot.
• Check your gas supply. A double stock pot stove adds 160,000 BTU per hour of gas demand. Have your plumber or propane supplier confirm the line or tank can handle it.
• Plan for water. A nearby pot filler or sink saves cooks from carrying heavy pots of water.

Cleaning and Care

• Turn off the gas and let it cool before cleaning.
• Empty and wash the drip pan daily.
• Clean boil-overs off the burner rings so the ports stay clear.
• Wipe the body with a mild detergent. No abrasive or corrosive cleaners.
• Don't hose down or pressure wash the stove.
• Have it checked by a licensed technician once a year.

If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve, put out all flames and call 911.
