A gas BBQ grill earns its keep by being ready when you are. The Eureka S401G is a 4+1 burner gas grill with an 18.3KW output and a dedicated side burner, built in stainless steel and aimed at cooks who want real capacity without a complicated setup. It sits in our BBQ grill range as a high-output option for backyard cooking, from a weeknight dinner to a full-garden gathering.
"4+1" describes a grill with four main burners spread across the primary cooking surface, plus a fifth burner placed off to the side as a side burner. The point of the layout is that two jobs stop competing for the same space: the main grate stays free for food that needs direct heat, while the side burner takes on anything that would otherwise crowd the grate or drip onto it.
For a household that grills most weeks and entertains most weekends, that separation is often the difference between a grill that feels one burner short and one that keeps pace with the cook.
18.3KW is the cooking output of the S401G, and it is a high figure for a home grill. Output is best read as the rate at which the grill can push heat into the cooking chamber — not a promise about how the food will taste. In practice, more output typically shows up in two places: the chamber comes up to temperature faster from cold, and it recovers more quickly each time the lid is opened.
The catch is that output only helps when it is used deliberately. Running every burner wide open for the whole cook tends to create hot spots and an emptier fuel tank rather than better food. High output is a capability, not a setting to leave switched on.
The most useful habit on a grill this size is a two-zone setup:
Sear zone — one side of the grate running hot for colour and crust.
Gentle zone — the other side dialled low for finishing, vegetables or anything that needs a slower approach.
Side burner — an independent heat source away from the main grate.
That third zone is easy to underestimate. A side burner is where sauces reduce, where a pot of water boils, and where sides finish while the mains stay hot and untouched. On a busy evening it turns one grill into two workstations.
Zone | Job | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
Main burners (4) | Primary cooking surface | Steaks, burgers, skewers, vegetables |
Side burner (+1) | Independent heat away from the grate | Sauces, sides, boiling, finishing |
Total output | 18.3KW | Bringing the chamber to heat quickly and recovering fast |
Three habits get the most from any gas grill. First, preheat properly — let the grate reach temperature before the first item goes on, rather than cooking on a surface that is still climbing. Second, keep the lid down; every opening throws away heat the burners then have to replace. Third, clean while the grill is still warm enough to loosen residue but cool enough to touch safely.
Because the S401G is built in stainless steel, routine care stays simple: wipe the surface along the grain, avoid abrasive scourers and chlorine-based cleaners, and clear the grease path so it does not become a fire risk. A grill that is cleaned a little and often is easier to live with than one that is deep-cleaned rarely.
The S401G is a natural fit for two kinds of buyer. The first is a household that cooks on the grill several times a week and wants capacity that will not run out when guests arrive. The second is a smaller operator — a guesthouse, a rental property or a small catering setup — that wants a high-output stainless steel grill without stepping up to a much larger frame.
If your cooking is almost always for two, a smaller unit may be all you need. If you regularly cook for a crowd, the extra zone and the side burner are the parts you will notice most. Full specifications are listed on the S401G product page, and if you are still weighing a movable grill against a built-in, our built-in vs freestanding grill guide compares the two.
The Eureka S401G pairs a 4+1 burner layout with an 18.3KW output and a side burner in a stainless steel build. Four burners give you the two-zone control that even cooking depends on; the fifth keeps sauces and sides out of the way; and the output means the grill is ready when you are. It is a high-output backyard gas BBQ grill for cooks who want room to work.
