Monument Grills 4+1 Outdoor Barbecue Stainless Steel Propane Gas Grill, 4 Burners & 1 Side Burner 62,000 BTU Patio Garden Barbecue Grill with Knob Controls, Mesa415BZ

Heats up fast
So far, so good. I am 67 and was able to assemble the grill myself. (Most of the screws are already in place so you just need to untighten them, slip the piece over the screw head, slide into place and then retighten the screws.) (about an hour with a basketball game on the TV. ) I like the cast iron grill grates which are apparently porcelain covered. I’ve used the grill only once to cook 6 burgers using two burners. The grill heated up extremely fast (much faster than my 7 year old Signet 20 .. which is still a fine grill) and the burgers all cooked evenly. The window is a nice feature. the grease tray slides out the back of the grill. Make sure to slide it all the way in, otherwise it collects rain during a storm. I expect this will have to be replaced in a couple of years. Also they tell you to attach the mount for the grease catch pan so that you remove the catch pan from the front of the grill. I rotated the mount 180 degrees so I could remove the catch pan from the back. Waaaay easier

Good quality for the price.
Good quality grill. Substantial for the price. Was reasonably easy to assemble but had some challenges with fitting the drip tray that I never quite resolved. Helps to have two people assemble. I love that it has a sear zone – something I’ve always wanted – and I like the flattened grill grates. I expect them to be easier to clean.

Great Design and Engineering
I researched grills for about a month and kept coming back to Monument. So impressed with the Mesa 415BZ. I have never had a grill heat so fast and get so hot. On my initial burn off, it was almost to 700 degrees within five minutes. There was a lot of thought put into this to help the end user assembly process. Many of the screws are already installed, you just back them out and attach the appropriate part and tighten. This really saves time and takes the guess work out of it. I only cooked four hot dogs the first night and used one regular burner and the Broil Zone burner. Charred the dogs in no time. I could not get hot dogs to char on my previous grill. Really looking forward to steaks this weekend. The packaging is excellent. No bent or missing parts. Today I have the griddle accessory coming which will replace one grate. I like having the flat top for veggies and other items that could fall through the grates. The side burner is nice to have as well, it will get used.

Dangerous, Don’t Buy!!!
This grill catches fire! Don’t buy! The fire was so hot that the glass in the lid shattered! Monument Co.takes forever to answer claims. Still waiting without a grill that works.I’ve experienced several grease fires with this grill. All of which I thought was going to burn our house down, so buyers beware. You can not walk away from this grill. Not sure why fires catch so easily, maybe a design flaw It’s a major problem when grilling with fatty foods like pork or beef. The grease drains and drips are too close to the flames and easily spreads across the whole drip pan and out the back of the grill, as do the flames. Black smoke and soot everywhere!!!I have contacted Monument several times. They have asked for a serial number on the back of the grill but it has long been gone due to so many large flare ups. I just want a replacement lid.Also, the window in the lid is pointless. It became covered with greasy, smoky soot after the first two uses and I have never again been able to get it clean, even with oven cleaner. Then it shattered!
