Overview
Eight burners and 993 square inches of cooking area define the Royal Gourmet GB8001-C, a freestanding propane grill weighing 107 pounds and stretching 90.6 inches wide, built for households that cook for large groups rather than occasional weekend grilling for two.
Eight burners on one frame is aimed at cooks who need to run multiple temperature zones at once, searing on one side while holding food warm on another. The alloy steel body and black finish match Royal Gourmet's larger-format grill line. At just over 90 inches long, it needs patio or yard space most apartment balconies do not have.
- 8 burners
- 993 sq in cooking area
- Alloy steel construction
- Freestanding design, 107 lb
Who it's for
Fits families or small event hosts who regularly cook for 15 or more people in one session and want separate burner zones for different foods. Not a fit for anyone cooking for one or two people, or with a compact patio, given the 90 plus inch footprint.
Pros and cons
- Eight burners allow separate heat zones
- 993 sq in cooking area feeds large groups
- Alloy steel body sized for heavy use
- Large footprint unsuitable for small patios
- Heavy at 107 lb, not easily moved solo
Performance notes
Eight independent burners let you run different heat zones across nearly a thousand square inches of grate, useful for cooking proteins and vegetables at different temperatures at the same time. The alloy steel construction and freestanding design are standard for this grill class, and steel builds like this generally benefit from a cover to resist rust over time.
