34 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $299 the M2-410FBZ slots into Monument Grills' entry-level four-burner lineup and punches above its price with cast iron and stainless steel construction. Cast iron grates retain heat well and develop a natural non-stick surface with proper seasoning, which is a feature you do not usually find at this price. The 525-square-inch main surface is enough for family meals and small gatherings.
The freestanding unit measures 21.4 by 50.6 by 41.9 inches, a footprint that fits most standard patios. BTU output is not listed, which is a common omission at this tier, but four independent burners still allow for zone cooking. No weight specification is provided, though the stainless and cast iron build suggests it is not a lightweight unit.
With 34 reviews and a 4.5-star rating, there is a reasonable base of owner feedback here. The score suggests that most buyers are satisfied with the value-to-build quality ratio, though the absence of a large review pool means some performance questions remain open.

Performance notes
Fuel is propane. The grill pairs cast iron grates with a stainless steel exterior across a 525-square-inch cooking area. Cast iron grates hold heat longer than porcelain-coated steel grates and can develop seasoning over time. No BTU figure is published. The freestanding cabinet design at roughly 50 inches wide is a comfortable size for a backyard patio. Four burners let you run high heat on one side and a lower indirect zone on the other.

Frequently asked questions
Do the cast iron grates need maintenance?
Cast iron grates benefit from regular seasoning with a light coat of cooking oil after each use and after cleaning. This builds a non-stick layer over time and prevents surface rust. Avoid soaking them in water, and dry them promptly after any wet cleaning.
How does the M2-410FBZ compare to pricier Monument Grills models?
The M2-410FBZ is a step down in cooking area from the M410MBZ at 525 versus 570 square inches, and it costs $100 less at $299. Both use four burners, but the M2-410FBZ adds cast iron grates while the M410MBZ goes full stainless. Which build suits you depends on whether you prioritize grate material or total cooking space.
Is propane included with the grill?
No. The grill connects to a standard 20-pound propane cylinder, which you purchase separately. Make sure the regulator and hose connections match your tank before your first cook.
