  • #ilovervlife #MonumentGrills #CampingGrills We've tried most portable grill manufacturers, you know, the green, blue, red, and gray ones. While each may have been portable, cooking was a challenge due to lack of grill space and managing burner heat. Plus, the grilling surface just didn’t match what is often found on home grills, those weird wafer/slotted things or thin cast iron grates. Most of the portable grills we’ve owned failed in some fashion in less than a year and finding replacement parts were impossible. We were contacted to try a Monument Grills and found they have created the perfect solution for a quality, yet affordable portable grill for RV travel.

    That is an excellent grill, probably the best I’ve seen. I looked at the website and it appears to be only 20lbs. That is fantastic.
    I have a blackstone 2 burner griddle. I don’t carry it any longer because of the weight. I instead use an electric griddle. Lighter and better control of the heat.
    I switched to a wood pellet grill.
    Maybe some manufacturer will let you try one of these. I’d really like your opinion and comparison between a pellet and gas grill. The one big dislike of the pellet grill is the weight. Otherwise, It gets to temperature very quickly and offers smoke or grill functions with complete control of the temperature. It is electric but uses very little energy (400 watts if I remember correctly).
    Thanks for another quality product and great review.

    Hi Monument Grills. What a delightful, generous gift thru “Off the Hill with Tina and Rob!” I would love to have any grill (what my son used to called girls- grills). I live in a condo so they say it has to be propane powered one. I am a “carnivore” at 75 y/o that is kinda scary, I sound like a T-Rex 🦖. Well thank you for your kindnesses to all!

      If you have a quick connection of your RV, you can convert. Remove the host connected the the grill. Screw on this connector amzn.to/3L4RwFx. Used a little Teflon tape to make a good seal. This hose can be used to connect the grill to the RV amzn.to/3L3Nhdj This is what I used on my grill.

      No it’s low pressure. The connection at the 5th wheel is past the regulator. It also comes with a hose that has a regulator at the tank side.

The grill comes with a hose connected to a regulator to be used with a 20lb propane tank. Easy to remove and replace with the quick connect fitting then connect grill to port with hose.

      @iLoveRVlife  Рік тому

      No issue with rodents or insects. We run a couple minutes after cooking to burn any residual off the grates. Then a little wipe of any excess from the tray before storage. About once a year, we’ll use some Dawn and hose off insides. Never had an issue since we started our travels in 2014.

      Beg to differ. With giddiness aside. This is a good quality grill with the features one would find with larger home models. Great controls, even heat, stainless steel construction, only 20lbs, fits in the storage bay, easy to clean, 15,000 burners, and more. This is our 6th portable grill in 9 years. This one is built to last.
