When you're grilling for family or friends, every time you lift the lid you lose heat, momentum, and control. That's exactly the problem Monument Grills set out to solve with the ClearView® lid.
Instead of guessing, opening, and checking again, ClearView® lets you see your food as it cooks—helping you maintain steady heat, improve timing, and grill with confidence. Whether you're flipping burgers on a weeknight or managing multiple dishes for a holiday cookout, it's one of those features that quietly changes the entire experience.
In this guide, we'll walk through every Monument grill equipped with a ClearView® lid, explain how the feature works in real life, and help you compare models by size, series, and cooking style so you can choose the right grill for your backyard.
What Is the ClearView® Lid—and Why Does It Matter?
ClearView® is a heat-resistant glass window built directly into the grill lid. It allows you to monitor food without opening the lid and releasing heat.
That matters more than most people expect. Every lid lift can cause temperature drops that affect searing, slow cooking, and overall consistency. With ClearView®, you can:
- Track doneness without interrupting cooking
- Maintain steady internal temperatures
- Reduce flare-ups caused by sudden oxygen changes
- Feel more confident when cooking multiple foods at once
For beginners, it removes guesswork. For experienced grillers, it improves precision. And for hosts juggling sides, guests, and drinks, it simply makes life easier.
All Monument Grills with ClearView® Lid, by Size
Monument offers ClearView® across a wide range of grills—from compact patio models to full-scale hosting machines. Here's how they break down.
ClearView® Grills for Small Spaces and Simple Meals
2-Burner Grills Models: Mesa 200S, Mesa 220, G22
For small patios, balconies, and portable setups, compact grills need to be efficient and easy to manage. The Mesa 200S and Mesa 220 are designed with foldable side shelves and a small footprint, making them ideal for everyday meals in limited spaces.
ClearView® is especially helpful here because temperature changes happen quickly in smaller grills. Being able to monitor food without opening the lid helps maintain consistent heat.
The G22 brings the same benefit to camping and travel. In outdoor conditions where wind and uneven heat are common, ClearView® helps you stay in control without constantly opening the grill.
Best for: Apartments, first-time grillers, camping and tailgating
