a main body extending with frame components and multiple panels to define a front side, a rear side, a first side and a second side of the main body, each of the front side, the rear side, the first side and the second side of the main body extending between a lower portion and an upper edge, the upper edge of the main body extending with a rectangular periphery, the main body including multiple heating elements supported by the main body and positioned below the upper edge of the main body;
a griddle removably positionable above the heating elements of the main body and configured to be supported by structure adjacent the upper edge of the main body, the griddle including a cooking surface and an opposite underside surface; and
a side shelf configured to be coupled to one of the first side and the second side of the main body so as to be positionable against the one of the first side and the second side of the main body to define an upward facing flat surface, the upward facing flat surface extending to an upstanding elongated ridge, the upstanding elongated ridge defining a height, the height of the upstanding elongated ridge extending upward above the upward facing flat surface so as to extend adjacently along an elongated opening defined in the side shelf, the elongated ridge at least partially extending longitudinally and linearly with the height of the elongated ridge so as to extend between a front shelf side and a rear shelf side of the side shelf so that the elongated ridge extends substantially parallel and along the one of the first side and the second side of the main body.
