Know before you buy
The infrared SIZZLE ZONE™ uses ceramic burners to reach extremely high temperatures very quickly. This intense heat is designed to sear the exterior of steaks and chops rapidly, locking in juices while creating a professional-grade crust that standard burners struggle to achieve.
Yes, the grill includes a commercial-grade rotisserie kit, including the spit rod and motor. It is designed to handle large roasts or whole chickens, making it a reliable tool for slow-roasting meals directly on the grill.
The 9.5 mm stainless steel WAVE™ grids are designed with a unique shape that increases surface contact with your food. This design helps distribute heat more evenly across the cooking area and creates the signature sear marks Napoleon is known for.
Yes, the integrated ice bucket and cutting board are designed for convenience and can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance. They are built into the side shelf, allowing you to prep and chill ingredients right next to the cooking surface.
The dual-level stainless steel sear plates serve two purposes: they protect the burners from grease drippings to prevent flare-ups and they vaporize those drippings to add a smoky flavor back into your food.
The grill measures 76.75 inches wide, 25.5 inches deep, and 51 inches high. Because it is a substantial unit weighing 352 pounds, you should ensure you have a level, stable surface and adequate clearance for the lid to open fully.
The LED Spectrum NIGHT LIGHT™ knobs are powered by the grill's electrical system. They provide visibility when grilling at night and can be customized to different colors to suit your preference.
