Enders Monroe Pro 4 SIK Turbo

Four burners, and the right one glows red

The Monroe Pro 4 SIK Turbo is a gas grill cart from Enders Colsman AG of Werdohl, item number 8378. The three letters in the name stand for features: S for the viewing window in the hood, I for the infrared burner on the rear wall, K for the side burner (Kocher) in the side shelf. Turbo refers to the 800 °C zone that Enders places on one of the four main burners.

It costs approx. €620 (Amazon page on 20.10.2026: €619), and Enders itself gives an RRP of €699. Where it ranks among the other models in our gas grill overview is shown in the table further down.

We did not have the grill in front of us. What is written here about components, output and care comes from the Enders product page, from the 40-page manual (version 241010) and from the Amazon catalogue. Where we calculate or assess something ourselves, it says so.

Burners, grate and hood: the construction

Under the grate there are four continuously adjustable stainless steel burners, three with 3.5 kW each and one with 4.2 kW. The stronger one is the Turbo Zone. According to the manual, it sits on the right and is the only one with a red control knob. Adding the side burner (2.9 kW) and back burner (3.5 kW), Enders arrives at 21.1 kW total output. This sum also includes burners that must never run together; more on that under the back burner.

Above the burners sit stainless steel flame covers, three normal ones and a separate one for the Turbo Zone. Enders calls the whole thing Heat Range and states 80 to 300 °C in the cooking chamber, and up to 400 °C directly at the grate. According to the manual, the covers are meant to minimise flare-ups, that is, the flaring that happens when fat drips onto hot parts.

Cooking surface: 74 x 43 cm, 3,182 cm² according to Enders. On it lies the SWITCH GRID made of enamelled cast iron, supplied in the box as two system grates, two grill grates and a round insert. This cast iron grate wants about 15 to 20 minutes of preheating with the hood closed. Above it hangs a swinging stainless steel warming rack.

The cooking hood is double-walled, made of stainless steel with cast aluminium side panels, and has an integrated thermometer and a heat-resistant panoramic viewing window, which Enders calls PanoVision in its catalogue. The burner chamber is likewise made of stainless steel and cast aluminium. Ignition is by piezo, which needs no battery and is built into the control knob. Each burner can be lit on its own.

Below come the control panel and two double-walled stainless steel doors, behind which the gas bottle stands; according to Enders, an 11 kg bottle may stay there during operation. There are also two stainless steel side shelves with a front shelf surface and six utensil hooks, a working height of 90 cm and four wheels with locking brakes. Assembled, the cart measures 153.5 x 58 x 118.5 cm and weighs 55 kg; Amazon lists the same values. To store it, you fold the side shelves down.

In detail: what 800 degrees on one of four burners means

The 800 °C apply to the Turbo Zone, not to the whole surface. For the rest, the Heat Range values from above apply. Where exactly Enders measures the 800 °C, at the glowing cover or at grate level, is left open in the manual and on the product page. Next to the 400 °C at the grate, the figure is therefore hard to compare.

Enders describes the Turbo Zone as a burner with infrared mesh, recognisable by a visibly red-radiating flame cover. In general, for this design: a glowing grid above the flame passes a large part of its heat directly to the surface of the food as radiation, instead of first spreading it through hot air. Radiation browns quickly. That is exactly what the zone is meant for; Enders speaks of extra high temperatures for fierce searing.

Two more manufacturer claims: the Turbo Zone is said to be freely adjustable, from the lowest to the highest temperature, and to use no more gas than a conventional grill zone. How the latter fits with the higher rated output, 4.2 versus 3.5 kW, Enders does not explain anywhere.

One figure we calculated ourselves: the four main burners together deliver 14.7 kW over 3,182 cm², which is around 4.6 watts per square centimetre. For the smaller Monroe Pro 3 SIK Turbo, the same Enders figures give 11.2 kW over 2,666 cm², around 4.2 watts. On the Pro 4, four burners share 74 cm of width; on the Pro 3, three burners share 62 cm. The Turbo Zone is the same on both.

For indirect grilling, you need an area with no flame underneath and burners next to it that heat the cooking chamber with the hood closed. With four individually ignitable burners, this works, for example with the left off and the right on. Enders explicitly advertises direct and indirect grilling and writes that the grill can be used like an oven with the hood closed. How to divide the zones is explained in our guide to direct and indirect heat. Our assessment: for roasts and pulled pork, the lower end of the Heat Range matters more than the Turbo Zone. The manual explicitly speaks of constant temperatures there; we could not verify that.

What do you need the side burner and back burner for?

The side burner, if you want to make a sauce or side dish outdoors next to the grate. The back burner only if you grill with a rotisserie, and you have to buy the spit separately.

The burner has 2.9 kW and, according to the manual, takes only pots with a diameter of at least 14 and at most 24 cm. It has flame failure protection with a thermocouple: after ignition, you keep the control knob pressed for another 5 to 10 seconds so that the thermocouple warms up enough. Two prohibitions are marked there with ACHTUNG (warning). You never light the side burner with the lid closed, and you never close the lid while it is in operation. Folded shut, it serves as extra shelf space according to Enders.

The infrared back burner on the rear wall has 3.5 kW and is built for the rotisserie spit. Here too, two warnings from the manual: it is not continuously adjustable, and it must not be used at the same time as the other burners. A chicken on the spit with vegetables on the grate next to it at the same time is therefore ruled out by the manual. Enders lists the matching Grillspieß Pro on the product page for €89.90.

Gas, positioning and safety according to the manual

From the factory, the grill is set for liquefied gas, propane G31 or butane G30, at 50 mbar in Germany and Austria (appliance category I3B/P(50)). Hose and pressure regulator are included. The regulator has a built-in hose rupture safety device (EFV); according to the manual, a further hose rupture safety device must not be used. Enders recommends a hose length of 0.8 m.

You screw the regulator onto the bottle by hand, without tools, so the seal is not damaged; the union nuts have a left-hand thread. Then you check all connections with leak detection spray or soapy water, which the manual specifies as 1 part soap to 3 parts water. With the bottle valve open, bubbles show at leaks. Checking with an open flame is strictly prohibited.

For positioning, the safety notes (p. 25) list these points, here in the second person:

• Use the gas grill only outdoors and set it up sheltered from the wind.
• Place it on a level, stable surface.
• Do not move it during operation and lock the wheels with the brakes.
• Keep at least 1 m clearance from flammable and heat-sensitive materials.
• There must be no objects or parts of buildings less than 2 m above the grill.
• The ventilation openings of the gas bottle compartment must not be covered.

The same page contains further rules for operation; the full version is in the manual. Of these, in particular: you check the hose and pressure regulator for cracks and damage before every use. The bottle valve is open only while the grill is running, and before every change of location you switch off and close it. You never leave the grill unattended while it is running. You never extinguish burning, hot or smoking fat or oil with water.

For maintenance, Enders writes: the hose must be serviced after 5 years, and you replace the pressure regulator and hose after 10 years at the latest, even without visible damage. A new hose may be no longer than 1.5 m. You make no modifications to the gas grill or the pressure regulator, and certainly not to components sealed by the manufacturer. Repairs to gas-carrying parts belong with authorised specialist personnel, and you never treat stiff valves or control knobs with oil or penetrating oil. What to look out for when buying the bottle is covered in our guide to the gas bottle for the grill.

Cleaning, accessories and what comes later

At Enders, SIMPLE CLEAN means: the complete burner chamber can be taken apart into individual stainless steel parts, which come out without tools together with the grease drawers. According to the manual, the system has a patent pending. You clean after every use, and once more before every use to avoid grease deposits; the manual requires this in two places. You pull out the grease drawer and grease catch tray and dispose of the grease in an environmentally responsible way. Abrasive, chlorine-containing and flammable cleaning agents are ruled out.

The burners may be removed for cleaning but must not be swapped with one another, and you shut off the gas supply beforehand. You clear a blocked burner tube with a needle or pipe cleaner. Because individual components can have sharp edges, Enders advises safety gloves, and you must never cover the cooking surface completely with aluminium foil, otherwise it risks overheating. More on the procedure in our guide to cleaning a gas grill.

For accessories, Enders lists on the product page for the SWITCH GRID, among others, a sear grate and poultry roaster (€39.95 each), pizza stone (€44.95), pan (€49.95), wok (€59.90) and Dutch oven (€89.90), plus a cast iron half-reversible plate 1/2 for the Monroe Pro 4 (€69.90), a Plancha cast plate XL (€129.00) and a Pizzacover Turbo (€79.90). The premium weather cover for €69.90 is listed there for the Monroe Pro 3 K and 4 K; whether that also means your SIK is not clear from the line. We would clarify that with the retailer before buying.

At the prices on the Enders product page, the cover and Grillspieß Pro together cost €159.80 on top of the grill, not counting the gas bottle. The manual lists spare parts with Enders’ own numbers, for example the Turbo Zone under 130001078, the thermometer under 130001075 and the gas pressure regulator with hose under 130001045. Enders links the spare parts shop on its own website.

What Enders does not state

We found these points neither on the product page, nor in the manual, nor in the Amazon catalogue: the country of manufacture, the year of market launch, a heat-up time in minutes (the manual speaks only of a short heat-up time), the temperature of the back burner, the dimensions of the warming rack, the grade of stainless steel, the material of the wheels, undercarriage and rear wall, packed dimensions and shipping weight, an assembly time and a number of people. The manual describes flame failure protection only for the side burner; for the main burners it says nothing on this. Gas bottle, rotisserie spit and weather cover are not in the parts list, so they are not part of the delivery.

These three alternatives are worth a look

The prices are guide values from our price boxes and change. The rating is our editorial assessment based on data sheets and manuals; we did not measure anything on any of the four grills.

When the Monroe Pro 4 suits you and when it does not

First question: do you need the surface? The Pro 4 has 516 cm² more grate than the Monroe Pro 3 SIK Turbo, roughly a fifth. The Pro 3 is listed in our price box at approx. €529 (the Pro 4 at approx. €620) and even rates slightly higher in our assessment. In our assessment, if you would use the extra surface only a few times a year, you lose little with the smaller cart, since the Turbo Zone, back burner and side burner are the same there.

Second question: space. With a width of 153.5 cm and the clearances from the safety section, for a spot with flammable material to the left and right we calculate a good 3.5 m of free width. On a balcony with a ceiling or another balcony above, free height quickly becomes tight. For that case, we would not plan on it.

Third question: the rotisserie. If you grill on the spit regularly, with the Monroe Pro 4 you have to buy it separately and cannot use the grate meanwhile. The Broil King Regal 590 comes with the spit and motor, but is listed in our price box at approx. €1,649. If instead you only want to sear at the start and keep cooking on the full surface at the same time, the RÖSLE VIDERO G4-S with its additional burner is the better design, at approx. €750.

And if you do not need the side burner at all: with the Monroe ProX 4 SIR Turbo SHADOW (item no. 8377), Enders has a four-burner model with the same total output and no side burner, RRP €599. We do not have a review of it.

The Monroe Pro 4 is the wrong choice for anyone who wants to run spit and grate in parallel in one evening, and for anyone whose grilling spot is under an awning or balcony. If you are unsure which features you really need, you can go through the questions on surface, fuel and budget in the grill finder. If you buy it, do not forget to register with Enders within the first three months, otherwise the extended warranty lapses.
