Royal Gourmet GB8001B 8-Burner Propane Gas Grill

Overview

The Royal Gourmet GB8001B is a freestanding propane gas grill with 8 burners and 969 square inches of cooking area, built from alloy steel in a black and silver finish. At 90.31 x 90.31 x 38.19 inches and 119 pounds, it is sized for high volume outdoor cooking.

Eight burners and nearly 1,000 square inches of cooking surface put this grill in the large capacity range, suited to cooking for a crowd rather than a small backyard dinner. Royal Gourmet builds toward that higher capacity segment across its lineup, and this model follows the pattern with a wide freestanding frame.

• 8 burners
• 969 sq in cooking area
• Propane fuel
• 119 lb, alloy steel frame

Who it's for

Fits someone who regularly cooks for large groups and wants multiple burner zones running at once. Not a fit for a small patio or balcony, given the roughly 90 inch footprint.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Eight separate burners let a cook run different heat zones at once, useful for holding some food warm while searing elsewhere on the 969 square inch surface. Alloy steel construction at 119 pounds gives the freestanding frame enough weight to stay stable outdoors, though the spec sheet does not detail BTU output per burner.
