Overview
Four burners, 610 sq in of cooking area and an 87.5 lb freestanding cart frame put the Royal Gourmet GD401C in full backyard-grill territory.
Four burners let you run separate heat zones at once, useful for holding food warm on one side while direct-grilling on another. At 87.5 lb and over 5 feet wide, it's built to stay on a patio rather than travel, and the freestanding cart design typically leaves side space for prep.
- 4 burners, 12,000 BTU
- 610 sq in cooking area
- 66.1 x 21.7 x 36.6 in
- 87.5 lb, freestanding
Who it's for
Fits households that grill regularly for a group and want multiple heat zones plus a large 610 sq in cooking surface. Not the right pick for anyone tight on patio space or wanting something portable, given the size and weight.
Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes
Four burners at a combined 12,000 BTU spread heat across 610 sq in, letting you sear on one zone while holding food warm on another rather than working with a single hot spot.
