GE Monogram® Outdoor Grill and Refrigerators Provide Grill-Loving Fathers with an Outdoor Retreat
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While women still cook most of the meals inside of the house, 82 percent of men who do cook say they are more likely to grill outdoors than inside the kitchen.1 So, why not treat dad to a new GE Monogram® grill and outdoor beverage center this Father's Day -- a holiday symbolic of summer's beginning and alfresco dining. Experienced cooks or not, families are guaranteed a good meal -- even if dad's cooking -- with a grill that's engineered for even cooking, perfect searing and reduced flare-ups, helping keep the hairline in place...for now.
The new GE Monogram Grills are engineered to reflect the caliber of professional Monogram products, with the fire power and cooking potential that any dad will respect. Intense heat -- up to 23,000 BTUs from the fully adjustable ceramic infrared searing burner -- locks in food's natural juices and flavors. A ceramic-infrared rotisserie burner allows slow roasting of meats and poultry to succulent perfection. Gourmet Radiant™ heat baffles set above the adjustable 25,000-BTU main burners ensure even heat distribution below robust stainless steel grates and contain liquids to reduce flare-ups.
"We've also seen a growth in popularity of special flavored smoking woods, which can help add flavors to meats while grilling, without added calories and fat," said Joe Castro, executive chef, GE Monogram Experience Center. "The new Monogram grill features a drop-in smoking box, for grillers who want to experience intense flavors and mouthwatering smells that will leave no question in neighbors' minds about who is the block's grill-master."
In addition to the smoking box, there are other inclusions, such as a stainless rotisserie motor, spit rod and claws for the perfect fire-roasted meats.
A heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel canopy opens easily to reveal more than 1,500 square inches of surface space, accommodating sizable meals for large gatherings of families and friends. Brilliantly lit halogen lamps offer versatility and convenience when cooking at night.
With the power and features dads love, Monogram also offers the style that discriminating homeowners have come to expect. Available in both built-in and free-standing designs, the grills feature hand-finished chamfered edges, with dramatic bull-nose lighting that illuminates large control knobs, and a temperature gauge embedded below the grate.

What better to accompany dad at the grill than an ice-cold beverage, kept frosty in the GE Monogram Outdoor Refrigerator, which stands up to the harshest environments and most demanding conditions to ensure there's always a 'cold one' ready for grilling time. With adjustable temperature controls and removable shelves to make room for extra cans and bottles, this refrigerator is the perfect grilling companion. Available in both free-standing and built-in configurations, it will suit the design needs of any discriminating homeowner.
