Shared Features
As you can see, each Eminence Series grill is impressive on its own with many of its own unique features. But there are a few overall qualities that each grill shares.
Eminence Gas Grill Exterior
Monument Grills says that its Eminence Series “adopts a whole new mold with half of the parts retooled” resulting in a new flagship series of grills that are precisely constructed for better and accuracy and performance.
While each grill body has its own unique design, a shared exterior feature is the integrated full sear stainless steel and die-cast aluminum steel side panel. Not only does this look great with its modern finish, but it results in better heat retention in the grill and warm storage, and improves durability. The double doors have also been reinforced for better load-bearing with a smooth and soft-close operation. And a grill can’t be great without a great base. The metal-coated locking wheels provide better load-bearing and maneuverability.
Eminence Gas Grill Performance
Yeah, these grills look nice, but what can you expect once you fire them up?
All-around these grills are heating faster and higher, hitting up to 700°F within 10 minutes and a range of 60,000-89,000 BTUs across the three grills. This is about a 100°F increase in heat, 10 minute faster cooking time, and an improved heat retention and distribution across grates.
Eminence Smart Grill Tech
The E405 and E605 are both equipped with a reimagined 3rd generation LED touch screen that is easier and more intuitive to use. These smart grills are also enhanced with Bluetooth and App-sync so you can monitor and adjust grilling temperature, set timers and more up to 65 ft. away from your grill, and allowing you be a part of the party again.
The coloring sensing grill knob-lights have also been retooled to have a three-color coded system on the E405 and E425, and a six-color coded system plus party mode. So not only can you know the heat of your grill at a glance, but you can create a festive atmosphere!
