Monument Grills is a brand that focused on bringing value to consumers. You can see it throughout their history, including with the Mesa II grill that was released earlier this year and targets new grillers.

They have been around for a bit now and has started to earn a positive reputation in the market. They were founded in 2016, which is newer by grill company standards, but still a decent chunk of time.

Just because they go after value, doesn’t mean that they also don’t incorporate some good design too. That’s why they’ve earned a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026 for its E425 Pro gas grill.

The Red Dot Award is a tremendous honor for our team. We set out to prove that professional-grade performance and beautiful, intuitive design shouldn’t be a luxury. Seeing the E425 Pro recognized on the world stage tells us we’re delivering on that promise.

The E425 Pro is part of the Eminence line that I had the pleasure of seeing when it launched at the HPBExpo last year. While it still offers value, it’s a little more refined.

It also brings some premium features down market to a lower price point. It has app connectivity to monitor temps, color-changing knobs based on temperature, and also an infrared side burner.

The E425 Pro was the award recipient, but the whole Eminence line has some great features. That line has their flagship model, the 605, that has not one, but two infrared burners. It retails for $1,429 and includes a rotisserie to make full use of its rear infrared burner.
