Monument Grills is best known for stainless steel propane gas grills that pack features like see-through lids, lit control knobs and dedicated searing zones into cart-style grills for the backyard. The brand’s Mesa line covers everyday family grilling, the Denali line goes bigger and smarter, and a tabletop model handles camping. If you are shopping for your first gas grill or a gift for someone who loves cookouts, a Monument propane grill is a good place to start.
The six grills below differ mainly in burner layout: a two-burner tabletop, three four-burner Mesa grills with or without searing and side burners, and a six-plus-one-burner Denali with Bluetooth.

Monument Grills 4 Burner Propane Gas
Best for: Families wanting fast searing without a side burner
Pros
- Advanced Broil Zone
- 500°F in about 5 minutes
- Two foldable side shelves
- 304 stainless steel burners
Cons
- No side burner
- Total BTU not listed
The Monument Grills 4 Burner Propane Gas grill (Mesa II 410FBZ) is a four-burner cart grill built around what Monument calls an Advanced Broil Zone, a hotter area for searing steaks. The listing says it reaches 500°F in about 5 minutes on full blast, while adjustable burners let you turn some down for vegetables. BTU (British thermal units) is the usual way to rate a gas grill’s heat, but this listing does not give a total BTU figure.
It offers 525 square inches of total grilling area including a flip-up warming rack. The burners are 304 stainless steel, a grade that resists rust well, and the grates are enameled cast iron that hold heat. You get two foldable side shelves plus a stainless side table, a funnel-style grease system with a removable 430 stainless drip pan, a double-layered lid, a built-in thermometer, large wheels and a propane tank holder. Monument says assembly can take as little as 30 minutes. It measures about 51 inches wide.
This suits a family that grills burgers and steaks several nights a week and does not need a side burner. If you want to boil corn or warm sauce at the same time, the Mesa II 415BZ adds a side burner in the same footprint.

Monument Grills Mesa Series
Best for: Hosts who cook sides while grilling
Pros
- Sear zone up to 650°F
- 630 sq in total area
- Side burner, 62,000 BTU
- Clearview lid and knob lights
Cons
- Widest of the Mesa grills
- No cover listed
The Monument Grills Mesa Series 415BZ is a “4+1” grill, meaning four main burners plus one side burner, together producing 62,000 BTU. A side burner is a small stovetop-style ring on the shelf for pots and pans. Its sear zone uses U-shaped fire holes and a V-hole flame tamer and, according to the listing, reaches up to 650°F in 10 minutes.
It has the largest area of the Mesa grills here: 630 square inches in total, made of 450 for cooking and 180 on the warming rack, enough for a 22-pound turkey or 23 burgers. The Clearview lid has a viewing window and temperature gauge, and knob lights glow white when off and red on high heat, a helpful safety cue. Extras include hooks for tools, a built-in bottle opener, locking casters and a removable grease tray. It is about 55 inches wide.
It suits people who host often and want the most Mesa cooking room plus a side burner. Anyone short on patio space might prefer the narrower Mesa II models.

It includes a grill cover made of Oxford fabric with a PVC lining that resists water, UV, wind and dust. The glass viewing window is rated to 750°F.

Monument Grills 4+1 Burner Stainless Steel
Best for: Cooks who sear and simmer at once
Pros
- Broil Zone plus 12,000 BTU side burner
- Flip-back warming rack
- Perforated storage panel
- SS430 body and grease tray
Cons
- One foldable shelf only
- BTU wording is unclear
The Monument Grills 4+1 Burner Stainless Steel grill (Mesa II 415BZ) takes the Broil Zone idea and adds a 12,000 BTU side burner. The listing says the total is 49,000 BTU plus the side burner, which reads as though the side burner may be counted separately, but it does not make that fully clear. The BroilFire burner system with Z-shaped flame ports reaches 500°F in 5 minutes.
Its “dual heat zones” let you sear on one side while slow-cooking on the other, and stainless heat plates help reduce hot spots and flare-ups. Cooking area is 525 square inches: 405 main plus a 120-square-inch flip-back warming rack that folds down for full cooking space. The body, shelves and grease tray are SS430 stainless steel, and the burners SS304. A perforated storage panel gives four zones for tools, a trash bin or a rack. There is one foldable side shelf.
It suits cooks who want to sear steaks and heat a side dish at the same time in a compact footprint. For more cooking area with a side burner, the Mesa415BZ gives way on size.
Monument Grills Tabletop Propane Gas Grill for Camping and Small Spaces
Best for: Campers, tailgaters and balcony grillers
Pros
- 20 lbs with travel locks
- Two burners, 15,000 BTU
- High lid for thick cuts
Cons
- 207 sq in cook area
- Propane tank not included
The Monument Grills Tabletop Propane Gas Grill is the portable member of the lineup. It weighs 20 pounds, measures 18 by 18 by 13 inches and has travel locks that keep the lid closed while you carry it. Two stainless steel burners total 15,000 BTU.
It offers 207 square inches of cooking area on stainless steel grates measuring about 15.4 by 12.9 inches. A center-mounted thermometer shows the temperature inside, and the high lid lets you cook thicker steaks and ribs more like an oven. The propane tank is not included, and Monument recommends washing grates and removable parts with warm soapy water.
It suits campers, tailgaters, RVers and apartment balconies where allowed. It is too small for a big family cookout. Our guide to tabletop grills compares more compact options.
Monument Grills 6+1 Burner Smart Propane for Big Gatherings
Best for: Big-party hosts who love gadgets
Pros
- 900 sq in total area
- Bluetooth app with 2 meat probes
- Rotisserie kit and cover included
- Reaches 700°F in 10 minutes
Cons
- Liquid propane only
- Very large at 65 inches wide
The Monument Grills 6+1 Burner Smart Propane grill, the Denali 605Pro, is the flagship. The listing describes five ThermaSear burners, one built-in ceramic sear burner and one side searing station for 78,000 BTU, reaching 700°F in 10 minutes. It offers 900 square inches of space, 640 primary and 260 warming rack, enough for 35 burgers.
The “smart” part is a Bluetooth app that shows real-time temperatures, sends alerts and monitors two meat probes. One bullet lists a cover, rotisserie kit, cordierite pizza stone, round diamond grid, round cast iron plate, spit forks and two probes; another bullet lists only the cover, rotisserie kit, spit forks and probes, so confirm the pizza stone and cooking plate on the product page. It runs on liquid propane only, not natural gas, and is about 65 inches wide.
This is the pick for someone who hosts big parties and enjoys tech and rotisserie cooking. For a small patio or a first grill, it is more than most people need.
How to Choose the Right Monument Grills Propane Grill
Burner count. More burners mean more room and separate heat zones. Two burners suit one or two people, four burners suit families, and six burners suit big gatherings.
Side burner. A “+1” in the name means a side burner for pots. The Mesa415BZ, Mesa II 415BZ and Denali 605Pro have one.
Searing. For steakhouse crusts, look for the Broil Zone models (410FBZ and 415BZ), the Mesa415BZ sear zone or the Denali’s ceramic sear burner.
Space and portability. The Tabletop is 18 inches wide; the Mesa carts run about 51 to 55 inches, and the Denali is 65 inches.
Extras. The Mesa400MF includes a cover, and the Denali adds Bluetooth probes and a rotisserie.
