Overview

That BTU figure puts it a step above the 10,000 BTU models in this price range, giving more heat per burner for faster preheating and better searing capability.', 'Construction is stainless steel throughout, and the grill comes in a silver finish. It measures 62.01 by 22.05 by 46 inches and weighs 109.4 pounds. The longer footprint suits a wide patio or deck, and the weight means it will stay put once positioned.', "At $511.99 with 224 reviews and a 4.2-star average, the GA6402S sits at the upper end of Royal Gourmet's range with a reasonable track record. Buyers get stainless steel construction and a high-capacity cooking surface for the price."]

Performance notes
Propane fuel with 14,000 BTUs spread across 5 burners and 835 square inches of cooking surface. The 14,000 BTU total is meaningful here, as it averages 2,800 BTU per burner, which is on the higher side for a grill in this price bracket. Stainless steel construction at 109.4 pounds should resist rust better than painted steel. Dimensions are 62.01 by 22.05 by 46 inches, which is a long, relatively narrow footprint.
What buyers say
A 4.2-star average from 224 buyers reflects a solid but not exceptional reputation. The review count is high enough to suggest consistent performance, and the stainless steel build is likely a key satisfaction driver. Some buyers may note concerns with assembly complexity or heat distribution across that large a cooking surface.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Royal Gourmet GA6402S compare to other 5-burner grills in this price range?
The standout differences are the 14,000 BTU output and full stainless steel construction. Many 5-burner grills at this price use 10,000 BTUs total or mix painted steel with stainless. If heat output and corrosion resistance matter to you, the GA6402S compares favorably on paper.
Is the GA6402S suitable for a covered patio or outdoor kitchen setup?
It is a freestanding grill, so it does not require a built-in cutout. It can be placed under a covered patio with proper clearance from overhead surfaces. The stainless steel build holds up better than painted models in covered outdoor environments where condensation is common.
What size patio do I need for this grill?
The grill is 62 inches wide, so allow at least 70 to 72 inches of horizontal clearance to work comfortably around it. Depth is about 22 inches. Leave adequate space from any walls, fences, or structures as required by fire safety guidelines.
