Overview
['The GA5404H gives you 738 sq in of cooking area spread across four propane burners. That is a lot of real estate for a freestanding grill at this price, easily accommodating proteins, vegetables, and bread all in one session without waiting for batch cooking.', 'The 10,000 BTU rating for four burners translates to a lower per-burner heat output than some competitors. For low-and-slow cooks, that is fine. For buyers who want screaming-hot sear temps quickly, a grill with higher BTU output would serve better. The freestanding design weighs 103.9 lb, so plan on it staying in one spot once assembled.', 'Royal Gourmet is a well-known mid-tier brand with a consistent presence in the backyard grill space. The GA5404H scores 4.2 stars from 149 reviews, which is a solid if not exceptional showing. The large cooking surface and brand track record are its main selling points at the $390 mark.']

Frequently asked questions
Is 10,000 BTU enough for four burners on the GA5404H?
10,000 BTU split across four burners averages out to 2,500 BTU per burner, which is on the lower end compared to many four-burner grills that run 40,000 BTU or more total. The grill will reach adequate cooking temperatures for most backyard tasks, but it will preheat more slowly and struggle to maintain extremely high sear temps compared to higher-output models.
How does the Royal Gourmet GA5404H compare to other Royal Gourmet grills?
Royal Gourmet produces a range of propane grills across different cooking areas and burner counts. The GA5404H is in the larger end of their freestanding lineup at 738 sq in and four burners. Models like the GD401C and GA4402S offer fewer burners at lower prices if you need less capacity. Questions about Hello@thebbqgrill.com.
Can I add a side burner to this grill?
The GA5404H does not have a side burner in the published specs. If a side burner is important for heating sauces or doing a quick saute, look at Royal Gourmet models that explicitly list one as a feature, or consider a separate standalone single-burner propane side burner that can sit next to the grill.
