Depots GQGD006SBBQ Grill Review
Our verdict
A six-burner freestanding propane grill with 620 square inches of cooking area and a mixed-material build of cast iron, steel, and stainless at $399.99. The combination of capacity and price is hard to match, though a missing BTU spec leaves heat output unconfirmed.

Overview
The Depots GQGD006SBBQ packs six burners and 620 square inches of cooking surface into a freestanding propane grill at $399.99. That cooking area is large enough to run multiple food types simultaneously, from burgers and sausages on high heat to chicken thighs on indirect. Six independent burners give you real zone flexibility, a genuine advantage over three or four burner competitors.
The material mix of cast iron, metal, and stainless steel is an interesting combination. Cast iron grates retain heat well and produce strong grill marks. The stainless steel elements at the firebox and hood should resist rust better than plain steel. The overall frame uses standard metal, which is typical at this price point for a six-burner unit.
At $399.99 for six burners and 620 sq in the value math is favorable compared to single-brand competitors charging more for fewer burners. The 4.2 rating from 88 reviews is reasonable for a grill in this class. BTU output is not listed, which is worth noting before purchase, but the buyer base seems to find the heat performance acceptable.

Performance notes
Six propane burners across 620 square inches with cast iron grates. Cast iron holds heat through lid opens and recovers sear temperature faster than thinner steel grates. Without a BTU figure, precise heat output is unknown, but six burners spread across this footprint should provide adequate cooking temperatures for standard grilling. The 19 x 56 x 45 inch frame is large, so plan your patio space accordingly.
What buyers say

Frequently asked questions
Do cast iron grates require special care on this grill?
Cast iron grates perform best when kept lightly oiled and dried after cleaning. Unlike stainless grates, cast iron can rust if left wet or neglected. After each cook, brush the grates clean while warm, apply a thin coat of cooking oil, and keep the grill covered when not in use. This routine keeps cast iron cooking well for years.
Is 620 square inches enough for a large backyard party?
620 sq in is generous for most backyard cooks. You can fit roughly 24 to 30 burger patties across that surface at once, or a mix of proteins and vegetables. For very large gatherings of 20 or more people cooking simultaneously, you may want to run multiple passes, but for most family cookouts this is more than sufficient.
Does the grill come fully assembled?
Most freestanding gas grills at this size ship partially assembled and require final assembly of the legs, side shelves, and sometimes the firebox. The included manual guides the process. At the grill dimensions of 19 x 56 x 45 inches, having a second person available for assembly steps involving the hood or large panels is practical.
