We considered several grills, such as Weber and Camp Chef, but decided to go with this Monument.
Delivery and Installation
We purchased the grill and a separate bag to store it on Amazon.com. The grill was well packaged with all components and easy-to-follow instructions.
Assembly was easy. Simply, follow the few instructions.
Testing
When you’re ready to test or use the grill, connect the cable to your propane tank.
The grill has automatic start from the control knobs, but you can also use a match holding tool that is attached to the drill botton to manually light the grill if necessary.
I pressed and turned one of the burner controls until the it lit. Amazing blue flame, barely coiuld see after light, but you could feel the heat.
Easy to disconnect and the grill will be easy to clean when I start using it.
Storage
As I mentioned earlier, we purchased a canvas bag with a zipper to store the closed grill. everything fits neatly in a storage compartment on the RV.
A Few Additional Tips
This grill throws off some heat. You don’t want to place it on a vinyl-topped table. Metal is better like the neat fold-up table we purchased.
If you plan on connecting your grill to a stand-alone propane tank, you’re fine. It includes a hose, regulator, and connector to attach to a standard 20 lb. propane tank. However, if you planned like us to connect the appliance to the external, low-pressure propane port on our RV, you won’t be eating tonight. The standard hose won’t work.
Upon that discovery when I was testing everything for our travels, I called Monument Grill Customer Support and asked what I needed. The customer service rep said, “I get this call about every other week.” So obviously, a common conumdrum for us consumers.
He was not only pleasant, but he was prepared. Within seconds, he messaged me a couple links to the instructions, fittings, and hose components I would need. And all with Amazon links! Now in few days, I can quickly install the components and will be ready to do some grilling!
