Know before you buy
The grill uses a mechanical push-button igniter that creates a spark through kinetic energy rather than a battery. This ensures reliable lighting every time without the need to replace dead batteries.
Yes, the Rogue 425 features folding side shelves. This design is ideal for saving space on smaller patios or decks when the grill is not in use.
Cast iron provides superior heat retention for excellent sear marks, while the porcelain coating helps prevent food from sticking and makes the grids easier to clean than raw cast iron.
While this specific model is configured for propane, Napoleon offers natural gas versions of the Rogue series. Ensure you select the correct fuel type at purchase, as these units are not typically field-convertible.
The grill offers a total cooking area of 570 square inches. This is generally sufficient to cook for a medium-to-large family or a small gathering of friends.
The exterior is designed for durability and low maintenance. You can keep it looking new by wiping it down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, and using a grill cover when it is not in use to protect it from the elements.
