10 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The GB4007 runs on propane with four burners and a claimed 13,000 BTU output across 732 square inches of total cooking area. That cooking surface includes both a traditional grill grate and a griddle plate made from sanding steel, which lets you cook eggs, smash burgers, or pancakes alongside whatever is on the grate. For around 355 dollars, the combination setup offers value compared to buying a separate standalone griddle.', 'The unit is built from alloy steel with a griddle insert of sanding steel. At 129 pounds, this is a substantial piece of equipment. The freestanding footprint of 63.78 by 25.63 by 36.5 inches is large, so measure your patio space before ordering. Assembly of a 129-pound grill typically requires two people and a couple of hours.', 'The 3.7-star rating from 10 reviews is the main caution flag here. It is not a failing score, but it signals that some buyers encountered issues, and with only 10 reviews the average can shift significantly with a few more ratings. Buyers willing to accept more uncertainty for the combo feature set and large cooking area may find it worthwhile.']

Performance notes
Four propane burners produce 13,000 BTUs combined, which averages 3,250 BTUs per burner. That is on the lower end for a four-burner gas grill, meaning high-heat searing may take longer than on higher-BTU competitors. The 732-square-inch cooking area spans a traditional grill grate and a griddle section built from sanding steel. The main body is alloy steel. The unit weighs 129 pounds and measures 63.78 by 25.63 by 36.5 inches when assembled.
What buyers say
Ten reviews averaging 3.7 stars gives a cautious picture. The combo grill and griddle format is the most commonly cited positive. Build quality inconsistencies appear in the lower-rated reviews, though the small sample size limits how much weight to put on any single complaint.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Royal Gourmet GB4007 come with a griddle plate or do I need to buy one separately?
Based on the product specs, a sanding steel griddle surface is built into the unit. This means you can cook flat-top style foods alongside traditional grill items without purchasing a separate griddle insert. Check the product listing to confirm the exact configuration included.
Is 13,000 BTU enough for a four-burner grill this size?
It is lower than average for a four-burner grill. Most four-burner gas grills in this price range deliver 40,000 to 48,000 BTUs total. The 13,000 BTU figure here likely represents one of the burner outputs or a per-burner spec rather than the total combined output. Check the product listing carefully to clarify the full BTU specification before buying.
How hard is assembly for a 129-pound grill?
A grill this weight and size typically requires two adults and one to two hours to assemble. Having a helper is important both for safety and for aligning the larger frame sections. Most grills at this size ship in multiple boxes, so check that all parts are present before starting.
