You’re only as good a grill master as the equipment you cook on. After trying several grills over the years, I jumped at the chance to test a Monument Grills unit when they offered one for a review—and it didn’t disappoint.
This post includes affiliate links to products I use. Monument Grills provided the grill for review purposes; no other compensation was given. All opinions below reflect my honest experience with the grill.
If you assume all gas grills are the same, think again. Grills vary widely in build quality, features, and performance. The window in the lid is my favorite feature — I haven’t seen it on many other grills, and everyone who’s seen it asks about it. It makes monitoring food so much easier because you don’t have to open the lid to check progress.

Who Is Monument Grills
Monument Grills, founded in 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia, manufactures charcoal, gas, and pellet grills. Their lineup focuses on delivering solid performance at competitive prices, with a range of models suited to casual grillers and serious outdoor cooks alike.
Assembling Monument Grills
I usually buy grills preassembled, so I was a little nervous about putting this one together. The model I received was the Monument Grills Stainless 35633, and assembly was straightforward.
- I only needed a second set of hands briefly when lowering the grill box onto the frame; a teenager helped with that part. The remainder I assembled myself.
- Laying out all the parts and skimming the instructions before starting saved time and prevented mistakes.
- Use a magnetic-tip Phillips screwdriver for faster work and to avoid dropping small screws—one slipped through a deck gap during my build.
Monument Grills Review
This is my review of the Monument Grills Stainless 35633. I wish I’d had this grill sooner. The viewing window is a standout — I can watch chicken or other items without lifting the lid and losing heat. I admit I’m one of those people who used to open the lid constantly, and the window stopped that habit.
For the grill’s maiden cook, I prepared tilapia in foil, vegetables, and chicken. Everything turned out excellent; the grill lights reliably and holds even temperature and steady flame throughout the cook.
It was a 100-degree day when I tested the grill and it handled the heat with no issues. I also used the side burner, which expands the cooking options when preparing a full meal outdoors. The grill maintained consistent performance during all tests.
Beyond the window, the illuminated control knobs are another favorite feature. A switch controls the knob lighting, and a USB-powered light kit can be added for extra visibility at night. These touches don’t change cooking performance, but they make the grill more convenient and attractive on a deck after dark.
