Monument Grill Reviews
1. Monument Grill 6-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill in Stainless with LED Controls and Side Burner
Starting of on our list is the Monument Grill 6-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill. This one is perhaps the largest one among this list. Let’s begin with the features.
The cooking area is without a doubt, large. It has a huge cooking space of around 634.3 sq. in.. It is incredibly heated by 6-Burners that requires a liquid-propane tank to heat up. It has a cooking power of around 84000 BTUs. One interesting additional feature on the burners itself is that the heat are distributed evenly. That is because of the Angled Flame Tamers. Other than that, there is a side burner included with this grill that is handy if you are making side dishes or special sauces that requires the use of a pan or pot.
Disadvantages are of course present on this grill. Obviously due to its big and heavy size, it is not ideal for portability. There is one minor downside regarding the heat management where you adjust it in low settings, it may not feel like it is low enough. That’s one thing to keep in mind. Also the BTUs may adjust on its own from time to time which is also something worth noting.
The most significant feature of this product is that the knobs and controls are LED back-lit. That’s great to have especially in outdoor evening parties. There is also a USB side light included for added visibility. The grill is also easy to clean.
Overall, if you are looking for a large grill that is well suited to cook lots of food for occasions with high number of people, this maybe for you. For restaurant owners who specializes in grilled dishes, this can be a great option too.
| PROS | CONS |
| + Large cooking area + LED back-lit controls + 6-Burners + 1-Side Burners + Easy to Clean + USB Side Light |
– Not Portable – Low Heat settings is not low enough – BTUs may adjust on its own |
2. Monument Grill 4-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill in Stainless with LED Controls & Dual Side Burners
Moving onto our list is the Monument Grill 4-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill. This one in particular has some great features but also some minor downsides which we will be taking a look at here.
Starting off with the cooking area itself, it is good enough for many with a measurement of 513 sq. in. and has 4-Burners that is powered by liquid propane gas. These burners are Angled Flame Tamers for even cooking and they have cooking power of around 48000 BTUs. But what I really like about this grill is that it has not one but two side burners.
Like its bigger brother (the 6-Burner), its controls and knots have LED back-lit. There is also an included USB Side Light which is great to use in the dark. Disadvantages however, do exists in this particular device. First of all, I do find this grill to be slightly fragile in terms of durability as there could be some bents around the metal surface. Another thing to note is that overtime, rust may come into the grill especially around the outside. I do suggest regularly cleaning the grill.
Overall, this is a great grill for most of us. If you are looking for a grill that is well suited for cooking dishes for a medium-large family gatherings. This may be the one worth considering.
| PROS | CONS |
| + Dual Side Burners + LED back-lit controls + Easy to Clean + USB Side Light |
– Not very Sturdy – Can get rusty overtime unfortunately |
3. Monument Grill 4-Burner Propane Gas Grill in Stainless with Clear View Lid, LED Controls and Side Burner
The Monument Grill 4-Burner Propane Gas Grill Clear View Lid is similar to the previous one we have discussed though there are some changes to which we are going to take a look at here.
Firstly, the lid of the grill was changed to a one that has a transparent glass so that you are able to see what’s cooking on the inside. If you need this kind of feature, this maybe for you. The side burners are reduced to a single one instead of a dual one. Other than that, the burners, LED knobs and build quality remains the same. There are more disadvantages on this one however.
First of all, the glass lid is a little fragile. There are some certain reports of it shattering which can be a big deal to many people. Fortunately, Monument Grill can provide you with a replacement one on certain conditions. Another one issue is that some spots on the grill are not consistent enough with the heat, thus resulting in cold spots.
Overall, if you do need that glass lid, then this may be the one for you but otherwise, the first one without the glass lid could be the better option. Plus you get dual side burners too and a much better build quality.
| PROS | CONS |
| + USB Side Light + Glass Lid + Great performer + Easy to move around + 4-Burners + 1-Side Burner |
– Glass lid can be fragile – Some Cold Spots on the grill |
4. Monument Grill Tabletop Grill
We are now looking at our last grill on this list. The Monument Tabletop Grill is one of the lightest and the only most portable one in their line-up. So the physical design is no doubt, small. There are two knobs on the front and a temperature gauge on the top lid.
Let’s talk about the internal features of this kit. The cooking area is quite small which is 207 sq. in. that is heated by 2-Burners with a cooking power of 15000 BTUs. I’d say that it is not quite bad for many people who are looking for a small and compact grill but if you are going to cook for many people in a short time, this may not be for you.
Furthermore, I do find quite an issue that this still requires a liquid gas propane tank instead of charcoal or electricity as its fuel for heating. Other that, the tabletop grill is a great performer. It spreads heat in an even manner and cooks really well.
Overall, if you are looking for a small and portable grill that you can carry on your outdoor picnic anywhere and everywhere, this one maybe worth considering.
| PROS | CONS |
| + Light and Portable + Small Size + Powerful heat and performance + Temperature Gauge |
– Lacks some advanced features the previous 3 have. – Cannot use Charcoal or Electricity instead of Liquid Propane Gas Tank |
Wrapping it up
So that’s about it! The best Monument Grills 2020. Overall, the grills are great performers, good features and even build quality. Each grill we have discussed are well suited for many needs for different people. Overall on this list, the clear winner for this one is the Monument Grill Tabletop Grill.
Why this one you asked? It is by far the most portable on the list and it greatly performs well in distributing heat evenly. Sure, it is quite small in terms of cooking area and lacks the advanced features as the others have, but this one will serve you well in grilling dishes anytime and anywhere. It is also durable and will last a long time.
