Monument Grills Larger 4-Burner Propane Gas Grills Stainless Steel Cabinet Style with Infrared Side Sear Burners & Side Burners with Smoke Box(2 items)

This is a very nice grill! However, you need to be fairly proficient with assembly. It only takes a Phillips screwdriver, but there is a lot to assemble. There is one part of the assembly that should have been done early on. That was the towel and utensil holder. Not a big thing, but having to install that after everything else is together was very difficult indeed. It needs to be done before installing the right side burner. Another thing, or 2, was the windbreak for the sear burner. It was not well, or easily found. The other thing, was the ignition button. You have to install a battery in the button for it to work. I scoured the assembly instructions, just to find it in a location that was very difficult to find. The quality of the grill is very nice! Almost all stainless steel. Should not rust away like other cheap ones do within this price range. I bought the blue one, and it really is beautiful. It really pops on my patio. Overall, I hope it works well and lasts more than 3 or 4 years.

Every griller has their preferences. So if you like charcoal or a Kamado type, no one can argue with you. I personally like them all, but this grill strikes the best balance of value, variability of cooking styles and features of any grill I've owned. The Clearview is genuinely a great idea and feature, not a gimmick. I'm really nosey when I grill, so being able to take a peek now and then without losing the heat is an amazing feature. The sear burner for some reverse searing action is, again, an amazing feature I use every time I cook steaks. It's a must and it allows me and a thermometer to have perfectly cooked steaks to any specification a guest requests. The side burner is obviously great to warm up some sides. I'd suggest a cast iron griddle plate and then you can bang out amazing breakfasts as well. The light up knobs are indeed useful at night but if you often grill late, pick up a little clip-on light so you can see the meats well when you open the hood. Clean up is quite easy and I like the angled tray that allows you to run all of that into the tray or bucket. The only quibble I had with this grill was assembly and shipment, but that had zero to do with it's function. First, if you have big hands, trying to screw on the sear and side burner portions is a pain... Literally. The steel have sharp edges under there where you have to get your screwdriver. I lost some blood putting this thing together. Second, unfortunately, despite the packaging seemingly being very well done, the lower left front part of my grill face was dented. Again, neither of these things affected in any way the usage and general awesomeness of the grill. I doubt you can find a better bang-for-your-buck grill anywhere. Because I looked long and hard and I couldn't!

This is the best grill so far. I have had it for five days, and have used it for three of those five days so far. I even used it wrong and it still performed like a champ! So on the first night, I cooked burgers. I like the Flame Diverters on this grill, as they are very wide and much much better than the ones on the Char Broil Performance Series. There were a few flare ups, but that was expected with 80/20 beef (my bad). Overall, it performs like a dream. My mistake with it was when I went in to go eat, I went to burn off the food, so I turned it up high. I forgot about it, and left it for about 30 minutes. When I finally remembered it, I went back expecting to have shattered glass on the ClearView section. None of that--it was humming along at well over 700 degrees (the top measurement on the thermometer). No issues, other than the fact that my grill is no longer stainless steel inside. I am tempted to buy another Grease Tray for the future, as I know that that will be the first thing to rust out, and sooner than later. It is not very strong, but they do have replacement parts on the Monument Grills website. Overall, I give this grill a 10 out of 10. I also recommend getting the sear burner. Yes, it is a singular focus--but WHAT A FOCUS it is.
