Broil King Monarch 340 Gas Grill Review

Broil King Monarch 3-Burner

The Broil King Monarch 340 is one of their entry level BBQ grill lines. The grill head is cast aluminum with a stainless steel wrap. The 340 comes with three 10,000 BTU main burners, a 10,000 BTU side burner and electronic ignition.

Features of the Broil King Monarch 340

Cooking grates are cast iron. Flav-R-Wave heat tents blanket the bottom of the deep firebox, mitigating flare ups, sizzling drippings and radiating searing heat. The cook box is deep, the hood is high. Many believe this design enhances roasting. Certainly the headroom in the hood is great for rotisserie and large items like roasts and turkeys.

Monarchs are available in LP or NG models and have side shelves with tool hooks and a single door cart..

Broil King claims their patented Dual Tube Burners produce more even heat and increase burner life.  Gas enters the burner first through a small, perforated tube within the large stainless steel burner tube.  The design is intended to create even gas pressure throughout the burner, resulting in even flame and evenly distributed heat stress on the burner.  We have not tested these burners yet.

They also make the popular Broil King Keg, previously called the Bubba Keg, an insulated steel Kamado style grill that can be attached to a trailer hitch for easy transport. Accessories, tools and cook books are available as well.

Signet, Sovereign and Monarch are made in Canada They use the term “Made in North America” as a catch-all. In recent years, Onward has focused on marketing their Broil King line and many models are now available in the USA at Lowe's.
