555 owner reviews, more 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 GD4002T runs on propane and puts out 10,000 BTU total across four burners, giving you the ability to run a hot zone and a cool zone simultaneously. The 430 sq in primary cooking area is enough for a dozen burgers or several racks of chicken at once, which makes it practical for small gatherings rather than solo weeknight grilling only.
At around $174 and 40.6 lb, this is a lighter freestanding grill that won't challenge you to move it around a patio. The footprint is compact at roughly 40 by 19 inches, so it fits on smaller decks where a full-size cart grill would crowd the space.
With 555 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, buyers generally find it delivers on its core promise: reliable multi-burner propane heat at a budget price. The absence of listed material details is worth noting before purchase if long-term durability is a primary concern.

Performance notes
Propane fuel with 10,000 BTU total and four burners works out to roughly 2,500 BTU per burner, which is adequate for medium-heat grilling and two-zone setups but not ideal for fast high-heat searing. The 430 sq in cooking surface is a practical size for four to six people. At 40.6 lb and freestanding install, setup and occasional repositioning are straightforward. Dimensions of 39.96 x 19.29 x 11.02 in suggest a flat, low-profile design.
What buyers say
At 4.3 stars across 555 reviews, the GD4002T earns positive marks for its price-to-burner ratio. Buyers frequently mention value for the cost. The review volume is solid enough to give a reliable signal, and the rating places it comfortably in the above-average range for budget grills.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can the Royal Gourmet GD4002T comfortably feed?
The 430 sq in cooking area is generally enough to grill for four to six people at once. You can fit roughly 12 standard burgers or several chicken thighs in a single cook. It is well suited to weeknight family dinners and small weekend cookouts.
Does this grill work well for two-zone cooking?
Yes. Four independent burners let you run one or two burners on high while leaving others on low or off. That setup allows you to sear meat over direct heat and then move it to a cooler zone to finish cooking, which is a common technique for thicker cuts.
What propane tank size does this grill use?
Like most standard freestanding propane grills in this size category, the GD4002T connects to a standard 20 lb propane cylinder (the common grill tank). The tank is not included and must be purchased separately.
