Few things evoke the spirit of the holiday season like a shared meal among family or friends—and few tools make cooking enough food for a large group easier than a quality grill. Backyard barbecues have long been a great way to bring people together, and a high-performance grill can make the cooking process a snap any time of the year.

American-based Monument Grills knows the value of quality time with loved ones, which explains the thoughtfulness in its latest lineup. Advanced features and designs allow you to be more hands-off on your favorite meal and savor the moment with friends and family—up to 16 at once! That same thoughtfulness can reflect well on you during the gift-giving season: These new grills make great gifts for the host in the family, first-time homeowners, or even your own home. We think of it not just as giving a grill, but also gifting more time together. Ahead, we’re highlighting three top models that will delight different types of home cooks and hosts this season.

A Smarter Way to Cook for a Crowd

Designed for barbecue enthusiasts who like to entertain, Monument Grills’ flagship Denali 605Pro boasts an ample 900 square-inch cooking area and a premium set of features that make it easy to feed a large party. The grill reaches 700 degrees Fahrenheit in just 10 minutes, and its porcelain-enameled cast iron grates ensure even heat distribution for any kind of food, from burgers and steaks to veggies and sides.

The Denali 605Pro’s advanced technology also virtually removes all stress from hosting by improving precision in cooking temperature and times. Stainless steel temperature probes, a real-time temperature LED display, and a unique Clearview window embedded in the grill’s lid all make it easy to check in on food without raising the lid and releasing heat. Better yet, the smart Denali 605Pro can be monitored and controlled via Monument Grills’ mobile app. With notifications on, chefs can happily step back and spend more time socializing with guests up to 65 feet away from the grill.

We especially love the versatility of the Denali 605Pro. Achieve the perfect sear on steaks over its high-fire ceramic side burner, roast up to two whole chickens on a rotisserie fork, grill nearly three dozen burgers on the cast iron grates, or swap in accessories like a pizza stone when the mood strikes. Not only will this cover even the pickiest eaters at the party, but it also solidifies the grill as the go-to for all dinners together any time of year.

Multitasking Meal Prep Made Easy

Good things come in smaller packages, too! Monument Grills’ Mesa 415BZ presents a great alternative for more intimate and everyday gatherings. This grill packs many of the same top-of-the-line features as the Denali 605Pro into a more compact design, just 55 inches wide. But don’t let the size deceive you: This sleek grill can still cook up a feast for up to 10 people at once on its 630 square inches of cooking space.

This high-performance grill cooks quickly, evenly, and efficiently. The Mesa 415BZ’s array of six burners can reach 630 degrees Fahrenheit in just 10 minutes. A specialized burner at the center of the grill is designed to distribute heat for a more even crisp when searing. Again, the Clearview window in the cast aluminum lid makes it easy to monitor progress without ever cooling things off. Meanwhile, a serious side burner enables multitaskers to simmer sauces or cook other side dishes while the main event is on the grill. Together, these features make it possible for hosts to spend less time grilling and more time connecting with dinner guests.

Tasty Get-Togethers on the Go

Finally, for those on your gift list who make their memories on the campgrounds or in a parking lot on game day, Monument Grills’ G22 stainless gas grill provides a most convenient 200-square-inch cooktop. The two stainless steel burners will fit up to 15 burgers, two whole chickens, or a medley of meats and vegetables to help a group of up to four fuel up for any outdoor activity. Here, too, a grill master can peer through the Clearview window to quickly check on the meal.

Adventurers will especially appreciate the G22’s portability and durability. The 32-pound body is light enough to carry from the car to the campsite or tailgate, while the stainless steel is still durable enough to withstand travel and the elements. The electronic ignition system provides fast, reliable startups, so you can keep the party going even in less-than-ideal weather.
