Constructed from alloy steel, it weighs 119 lbs and spans 90.31"W × 90.31"L. While the folding design enhances usability and storage, the substantial size might be a concern for smaller patios.

The Royal Gourmet GA5401T scores 74/100 for its versatile 61,000 BTU output and ample grilling space.
The Royal Gourmet GA5401T offers a substantial 602 sq. in. grilling area and a powerful 61,000 BTU output across its five burners, including a dedicated sear burner. Its stainless steel construction and double-layer lid promise good heat retention for consistent results. While the porcelain-enameled cast iron grates are durable, the main body is a mix of stainless and regular steel, which might impact long-term corrosion resistance in harsh climates. It's a solid mid-range option for families seeking versatile grilling power.
