Mesa 415BZ Features Review
The Mesa 415BZ was designed to give you a premium grilling experience in a compact yet powerful grill. Here we dive into each of the main features to show you how Monument Grills is innovating the grilling game.
Versatile Burners, Side Burner & Broil Zone
This four-burner stainless steel gas grill includes a sear burner designed for a higher fire and heat output that can reach up to 800°F, and a versatile side burner. The two burners on the right and a sear burner are located in the “Broil Zone”, the area on your Mesa 415BZ that can reach those high temps providing more custom grilling options.
The side burner is great for sautéing or cooking smaller items that may fall through the grates. It kind of transforms the Mesa 415BZ into an all-in-one outdoor kitchen without having to deal with additional items like grate covers. Plus, you don’t lose any of your grilling surface. I also like the compartment cover the side burner has. It converts the burner into additional work space and protects the burner when not in use.
Monument Grills also equipped these burners with their heat indicator LED safety lights. Each burner is backlit with red and blue LED lighting. The red light indicates that burner is hot and it turns blue when the burner cools. It’s also a great indicator for when your grill and burners are hot enough to achieve the perfect sear. Or, if you’re just forgetful, these lights are an easy quick indicator to let you know if you remembered to turn the grill off.
Check out the heat sensitive burner lights in Dan’s video from the National Hardware Show.
Cast Iron Grill Grates
Made from cast iron, the grill grates on the Mesa 415BZ heat evenly throughout and maintain a consistent temperature. The grill grates are further enhanced by a porcelain-enameled coating that provides a non-stick barrier and protects the cast iron from abrasion, corrosion, and build-up.
Grilling out is great, but the clean-up can take away some of the fun. The porcelain-enameled cast iron grates make for easy cleanup, but Monument Grills didn’t stop there. The drip tray is designed to be fully removable. You can just slide it out, which makes for easy, thorough cleanup, and also helps to prevent grill fires.
Clearview® Lid
No need to lose heat checking on your food. This grill has a Clearview® Lid that allows you to see how your food is cooking without opening your grill.
630 sq. in. Cooking Area
The grill from left to right is 27 in. and has two racks which comes to 630 sq. in. of grilling space. What’s nice about the Mesa 415BZ is that it’s a good size, not massive, but compact enough in design to fit on smaller decks, maybe even an apartment balcony (though two-burner models are available), but this grill can easily feed 8-10 people and fit up to 23 burgers.
Built-in Thermometer
Located just below the Clearview® Lid is the temperature gauge. The built-in thermometer lets you know the exact temperature of your grill without temping it yourself. We like the Monument Grills Mesa 415BZ Stainless Steel Gas Grill has just enough convenience features to let you relax while you grill, but doesn’t “dummy proof” the experience so you’re still encouraged to be hands-on.
Value
The Monument Grills Mesa 415BZ Stainless Steel Gas Grill with four burners is consistently priced at $475 across various retailers like Amazon, The Home Depot, and even direct from Monument Grills. The Mesa 415BZ also comes with an 8-year limited warranty.
Again, this is a very efficiently designed grill. It packs a lot of cooking options without taking up too much space. Plus, it has a really economic price tag for all of its premium features, such as the Broil Zone with dedicated sear burner, and the side burner. A four-burner Weber GENESIS will cost you over $1,000 and you won’t even get those additional features. There may be some cheaper grill options out there, but for $475 we feel that the Monument Grills Mesa 415BZ Stainless Steel Gas Grill offers the best features, provides great control and user experience, and its well constructed. It provided even heating for us and consistent cooking outcomes.
Where to Buy
As we mentioned, the Mesa 415BZ is available through popular retailers such as Amazon, The Home Depot, and direct from Monument Grills. This is a great grill option for so many people whether you have a standard home, or maybe a smaller grill space such as an apartment or condo balcony. This is a great grill for a beginner as well as a grill master. You will enjoy the convenience features, but you still get a very hands-on grill experience.
