4-Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill, Silver Stainless Steel Grill Outdoor Patio Garden Barbecue Grill with Clearview® Lid and One Foldable Shelf, Mesa400MF

I don't normally write reviews for products, but was compelled to write about the Monument Grill because I am so pleased. Firstly in response to many of the reviewers; some complained about the assembly and I was prepared for a lengthy exercise, but including unpacking the parts, I was done in 50 minutes. The carton and packaging are surprisingly excellent, and I believe it would take some real abuse to render any sort of damage enroute. Also for those who are wondering, most of the firebox is preassembled and it is mainly the pedestal/propane compartment that is flat shipped. The directions were excellent and I was particularly impressed by the precision/accuracy of all the parts, there was no bending or manhandling to get things to align. Everything fits and works as it should. The stainless comprises the doors, firebox cover, and side shelves. It seems to be well fabricated and flawless brushed finish. The sides and bottom of the compartment are painted grey but seem to be a high quality finish. Some complained that the wheels are plastic, but I love that they won't corrode and have easy to operate parking brake. The fire box itself is heat resistant coating like the inside of your oven, so easy to clean. The window and thermometer are a great idea. I like the fact that there are 3 separate grates inside, so if you cook on only one area, you only need to clean the one grate, leaving the others behind, just more convenient really. the drip tray is fully stainless steel and easy to remove and cleans up very easily. I have used the grill for a few weeks now and find the heat controls very accurate, easy to maintain a temperature without annoying hot spots. I live in the caribbean with high humidity and salty corrosive air, and bought a cheap cover from Amazon, and is essential to keeping the rust stains at bay, and very pleased so far. It is not a 3 thousand dollar grill and doesn't pretend to be, but in my opinion a great value compared to some other grilles I have seen and used. Some complained that the Monument badge is mounted crooked on the lid, and mine is no exception, and maybe there is a reason for it, but I could care less, the grille works flawlessly, has many great features and looks snappy as well.

We have this grill at our winter home in Florida. When we are not here, AB&B renters give it a workout. Over the past 20 years I go thru a grill every 2-3 years. Same with the patio furniture. I have owned many models of Char-Broil but recently they have made the steel very thin and the units are junk. For a low end price, this grill is impressive. The carton packing was amazing, every piece was plastic wrapped and Styrofoam to hold the grill tight in the box. The assembly instructions were clear with diagrams, as if they were prepared in the USA, maybe they were? THERE ARE ONLY 23 SCREWS to assemble because most are already in the frame, just back them out, add the panel and retighten. In one hour, my wife and I assembled this gem, it was like all the manufacturing drawings were done in 3D (solid works), and cut on a CNC, everything lined up, what a different experience! They even gave us some extra hardware. Nice big roll around/lockable casters on bottom. Very heavy gauge stainless steel where it counts, a slide out grease tray and catch cup. Very large Stainless Steel burners with an 8 year warranty (unheard of). See through glass window in the lid, with large thermometer. The only suggestion that would help with assembly A LITTLE, is to put A,B,C stickers on the pieces, that would help, but you can just follow the assembly diagram. So, you get it, I love this grill. Will review again in 1 year and tell you how it does in Florida humidity.

Good overall. As follows: — PROS: • Cannot beat it for the price. • Cooks excellently. • Plenty of power. This thing can get up to 700+ °F in a jiffy, no problem. Good for cooking and also for cleaning by burning off. • Burners and innards seem safe, well-designed, and well-QCd, which is a sine qua non. • Design is mostly very good. — CONS: • Assembly is straightforward ENOUGH, but lower your expectations going in — if you are a typical end-user in a residential environment, plan on taking 2 hours or more to assemble it. If you don't expect quicker, then you won't be disappointed. The instruction booklet is a 75-page novel, but at least only the first 25 pages are for English-language users. • The amount of cardboard in the packaging is epic and reasonable. (After all, they need to protect the thing adequately in transit, so you don't return it for damage.) On the other hand, the amount of STYROFOAM in the packaging is gargantuan and probably inexcusable. Plan on filling your ENTIRE recycling bin with cardboard, and plan on filling a GIANT contractor-grade heavy-duty trash bag with broken-up STYROFOAM to send to the landfill, and vacuuming up scores of little staticky styrofoam nuggets. Hopefully the manufacturer will switch to molded paper/cardboard instead, in future. Personally I would pay another 10 or 20 bucks on the product if it could mean eliminating the MOUNTAIN of styrofoam from the packaging. But I guess a lot of other customers are more psychopathic than that, so who knows whether it will change. • The top half (the grill proper) is well designed and feels premium. The bottom half (cabinet/stand) is *adequately* designed and feels chintzy — viable, but minimum-viable. • The caster wheels are tiny silly indoor-grade units misplaced on an outdoor product. Maybe I will swap them out so I can actually put my grill (an outdoor object) on the grass without them sinking into the ground. • The cabinet is backless, which is the stupidest design flaw that I have detected so far; but it might be true that many of the competing products are also backless, I don't know. A backless cabinet is moronic because a grill is an outdoor object that is going to sit in your backyard at night, and the drippings pan is just sitting there in the wide open for any possums, racoons, skunks, or black bears that might happen to smell it and decide to mess with it. And maybe chew on the rubber propane hose too, while they're in there anyway. Having little doors on the front of the cabinet is laughably pointless and irrational when the back is wide open. I have some old sheet metal shelving that I'll be propping against the back with a sandbag, so at least I can TRY to keep the night critters out of the meat-juice-scented cabinet. The cabinet was clearly designed for cheapness and for false-front appearances as judged by indoorsy-only, not-very-bright customers. Oh well. Must keep in mind that if the cabinet was premium then the upfront price of the overall product would easily be 30% higher or more. — Overall I cannot complain, because (1) you get what you pay for in life, (2) the grill seems safe and effective, and (3) the competing products in the same price bracket are probably not better. Go for it.

I live in metro ATL and this is a locally owned company, so buying from your home state and the USA is always a good thing. I typically grill 2-3 nights a week and generally use 1 burner. I can get the grill to 400 degrees on high using 1 burner. I mostly buy grills in the $400 range and am typically replacing parts by years 2 or 3. This product offers more stainless steel than any other grill I've owned. The glass window and LED lighting is a nice upgrade for this price point. I read where someone talked about how flimsy the cabinet was, and while it's not heavy gauge material, it is coated metal and comes with gussets in the corners for bracing, so I have no concerns there. The burners and ignitors are good quality material and thick. There is a ceramic igniter on every gas rail which means easy lighting. Mine cooks evenly however the gas holes don't extend quite as far forward and back as some other grills I've had so these areas will be your not so hot spots. The grill grates are fairly thick and supposed to be non stick. I greased and pre heated mine before use and still get some occasional sticking grilling fish or chicken tenderloins, however olive oil spray eliminates that. Based upon the quality of the parts I've seen, this should last awhile.

i ordered this grill after my 20 year-old Weber Genesis finally gave up the ghost. I live in New England and I do not grill year-round, so I did not want to drop $1700 on a new Weber. I looked at several of the grills on Amazon and all of the Monument grills had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. I ordered it on Thursday and it showed up on Saturday (two days ahead of when Amazon said it would arrive), so that was good. It comes in a very large box (about 4' x 3' x 2') and all of the parts and pieces were well-packed. In fact, it took about 20 minutes to unpack everything, lol. After unpacking everything, I looked through the manual and got an idea about how to put it together. The manual is okay and it took me about 5 hours to put the grill together from start to finish. Others have said that it took them about an hour to put it together- they must have had a NASCAR pit crew working for them. lol A couple of tips I would recommend would be to use a power screwdriver; I used the Philips head bit on my Black and Decker cordless drill. This grill requires screwing a lot of large and small screws, so a cordless drill is a must. Also, if you have a headlamp, use that as well, since it illuminates the different parts of the grill that you are trying to assemble. Finally, do not discard the box after opening. If you do not have a designated workbench or table, the box serves as a great substitute. I did not want to be bending over all the time trying to screw in all the screws they give you. Once I was halfway done, I put the grill on the floor and then flipped the box on its side and used it as a place to keep the clear plastic container that held all the screws, etc. When it was finished, I rolled it outside on my deck, connected the propane tank, and gave it a test run. I made some burgers for my son and I. They turned out well. There is a thermometer in the front of the grill that tells the temperature inside the grill for that just-right cooking level. Admittedly, this grill is not as solid as my old Weber (it's made of very thin stainless steel, so be careful when you are driving those screws in), but it is is about 1/5th the price, so you get what you pay for. It worked for what I needed it to do, so I am a happy customer. I am looking forward to more delicious meals on my new Monument gas grill.

I love grilling but had been without a gas grill for 10 years. I finally moved to a new apartment that allowed them. I did my research and was convinced by reviews, features, and aesthetics that the Monument Mesa 300 was best for my small balcony. I was excited to see it at my front door, one day early. I recently injured my rotator cuff, so I was very pleased at how easy it was to assemble. Though it otherwise appears to be very well constructed I was disappointed to find some damaged parts. The shipping box and all internal boxes and Styrofoam packing were undamaged, so I assumed that these parts were damaged at the factory. If this was a toaster I would have simply returned it to Amazon. But I really didn't want to spend another couple hours repacking the grill and building a new one. Then I remembered the note in the shipping box that said if there is a problem, don't return the grill, contact Monument. I sent them an email with pictures and expressed with some firmness my disappointment. I didn’t hear back for a few days and feared I would have to return the grill with a bad review. Then, what I assumed would be a disappointing purchase, turned into the most pleasant customer service experience I’ve ever had. I received a friendly, personal reply apologizing for the problem and an offer of a small discount for my trouble. They immediately sent me replacement parts along with a free hat and apron. I am happy to say the grill is working perfectly. I just grilled my first rib eyes (reverse seared and hickory smoked) and they were the best ever! I highly recommend Monument grills.

Ive been looking around for a new grill, and after lots of comparison between different brands I settled on this monument 4 burner grill. It looks really good and is built like a tank compared to other grills in its price range. Everyone always says "just get a weber" but those are not built with the quality they used to be while maintaining the high price tags, so I highly recommend checking out this lesser known brand for a fraction of the price. This initial review is based off my first impression of the grill after putting it together. While I haven't cooked on it yet, a couple years ago I got my mom a 2 burner model monument grill and have grilled on that one several times. I'll have to update after this grill gets lots of use.

I will rarely every write a negative review unless it's so egregious that I can't ignore it. After hours of researching and overthinking on this purchase I decided on this Monument grill. Paid $50 for a handyman to put it together for me. Once assembled I thought it was beautiful. First I couldn't help but notice the EXTREMELY flimsy paper thin sheets of steel for the rest station, side burner and propane tank doors. The hood is nice and heavy and I thought the blue lights on the dials was a nice touch, so I thought cool. When we went to connect the regulator to the propane tank there was a leak. I contacted the seller, they responded immediately with questions on how to fix this. After a few interactions they decided they'd ship a new regulator and left me know when it would ship and would provide me with a tracking number. After a WEEK they still had not provided me with a tracking number. So I contact Amazon customer service. They reached out to the seller on my behalf and miraculously I am overnighted the part. Cool. I have part replaced and it works fine. I grilled twice while waiting for a grill cover I ordered from Amazon to arrive. While I am waiting for my cover, I go outside one day to discover there are small marks ALL OVER the surface of the grill. I said to myself is that RUST????? I rub my finger on a spot and sure enough this grill has rusted! The grill is stored inside a sunroom on a patio, Water has never touched it. I am shocked!! I have had this grill barely 3 weeks and it's already rusted. I immediately tried cleaning it and these rust spots would not come out even with a scrub brush! I am SOOOOOO disappointed. I contacted the seller and their answer was to replace the rusted parts! What??? The parts needing replacement would be the equivalent of replacing the entire grill duh! I can not with good conscience recommend this grill. It WILL rust on you QUICK! I demanded a refund.
