Description
A 40" countertop griddle with an over-fired broiler underneath, for griddling and finishing in one footprint.
The GB-36 puts a 3/4" thick polished griddle plate on top of an over-fired broiler with a three-position pull-out rack. 5 cast burners at 10,000 BTU/hr each heat both. It suits diners, cafes and restaurants that need a griddle and a broiler in one space. Order it for natural gas or propane; the pressure regulator comes with the unit.

Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier; the shipping cost depends on your location. See our shipping policy for details.
- Call (201) 467-8222 for the current lead time before you schedule installation.
- Choose natural gas or LP when you order. If your kitchen is above 2,000 feet, tell us the elevation so Royal can set the unit up for it.
- A qualified gas installer must connect the supplied regulator and a manual shut-off valve ahead of the unit, following local codes.
- Inspect the shipment before signing and note any visible damage on the freight bill.
Questions buyers ask
Does it run on natural gas or propane?
Either. Pick Natural Gas or Liquid Propane (LP) before adding it to the cart; Royal builds it for the gas you specify. Tell us your elevation if you are above 2,000 feet.
How many BTU is it?
50,000 BTU/hr total: 5 burners at 10,000 BTU/hr each (5 x 10,000 = 50,000).
How does the over-fired broiler work?
The burners sit between the griddle and the broiler rack: they heat the griddle plate from below and broil food on the pull-out rack underneath. The rack has three positions and rolls out on a carriage.
What gas connection does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear of the unit. Manifold pressure is 5" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane, and the regulator ships with the unit for your installer to connect.
How much clearance does it need from the wall?
The spec sheet lists 4" at the rear and 4" at the sides from combustible walls, and 0" from non-combustible walls. Royal's countertop manual calls for a non-combustible counter, so plan a non-combustible counter and wall where you can.
Does it need an electrical outlet?
No electrical connection is listed. It lights with standing pilots and runs on manual valves.
What does the warranty cover?
Royal's limited warranty is 2 years on parts and 1 year on labor from installation (up to 30 months from manufacture); cast iron parts are covered for 90 days. The spec sheet also lists a "fully welded frame with lifetime warranty"; Royal's warranty page does not detail that term, so ask us to confirm it with Royal.
How do I clean it?
Daily, clean the griddle plate with warm water and a griddle brick, clean the broiler rack with a wire brush, and empty the crumb pan. Wipe stainless steel with hot soapy water; don't use steel wool or abrasive powders.
