Once you get the lid shut, you’ll soon hear your food start to sizzle, and the temperature will rise, as you can see by looking at the nicely finished thermometer on the front of the lid. We reckon there’s space for about 16-20 medium-sized burgers on the bottom grills alone. There’s loads of space to set out items on the bottom grills (for cooking with direct heat) and on the upper rack (for convection cooking). For our test sessions, we brushed the grills with avocado oil.Īfter about 5-10 minutes of warming up (depending on the weather and desired cooking temperature), the grill was ready to cook. We found that the best approach for achieving the right cooking temperature was to start with a high heat setting – and then, as the BBQ approaches the desired temperature, reduce the setting to medium or low.īefore you set your food on the grill, Broil King recommends applying a high-smoke-point oil to the cooking surface, as this will help to ensure minimal sticking and optimal grill condition. Using the BBQ is delightfully simple, and requires little explanation. We were blown away by the Monarch 320’s cooking performance during testing. The information on which type of gas to use with the Monarch 320 is quite technical, so don’t be afraid to ask the maker or seller for advice – especially if you’re unfamiliar with propane/butane canisters. We fuelled the Monarch 320 with a refillable Flogas 6kg Leisure Gas Propane cylinder, purchased from B&Q. Fitting the regulator hose (included with the BBQ) is a little fiddly, but you’ll be able to feel when you’ve got it properly connected to your compatible gas bottle. The barbecue runs on gas, and you’ll need to buy a compatible gas product which connects to the Monarch 320’s regulator hose, in order to cook with the appliance. Our reviewer spent about three-and-a-half hours setting the Monarch 320 up, which is similar to one of their American competitors Char-Broil - the Char Broil Professional 2400 S BBQ took the Ideal Home a good few hours to set up too. On the other hand, if following assembly instructions gives you a headache, consider hiring an expert installer – or ask a kindly friend or family member to help. If you enjoy this sort of thing, then you’re in for a fun few hours. The Monarch 320 arrives flat-packed, and there’s a significant amount of assembly required to get the BBQ ready. Unboxing and setting up the Broil King Monarch 320 Pete tested the Broil King Monarch 320 by assembling it and using the barbecue to cook a wide variety of foods, including sausages, burgers, steaks, vegetables and burger buns. His product reviews – including dozens of barbecue and cooking appliance features – have featured in titles including Ideal Home, The Evening Standard and BBC Good Food.
