Best Napoleon Gas Grills for 2019
-
What Napoleon gas grill should you buy?
Napoleon is one of the most recognizable North American grilling companies. Napoleon gas grills are innovative, high quality, and provide great value for the money. Innovation is evident in the technology Napoleon has implemented into their grills. Napoleon’s exclusive “lift-ease” lid makes opening and closing the lid a breeze, the foldable shelves make the grills compact and easy to store, and the Jetfire ignition employs a flamethrower starter, making grilling truly simple.
Napoleon BBQ grill grates have a signature wave design to help distribute heat evenly. They also stop small pieces of food from falling through the grates and onto the burners or flame tamers. The unique wave design also delivers killer sear marks on whatever you’re cooking up.
When it comes to quality, Napoleon is one of the best. Constructed from stainless steel, you’ll be grilling on your Napoleon for many years to come. Napoleon also offers great warranty options. These gas grills are built to last.
With so many great Napoleon grills to choose from, it can be hard to narrow down which grill is right for you. To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of the best Napoleon gas grills based on the following:
-
Features: More features equal more convenience. Having options like the “lift-ease” lid and the Jetfire ignition will make your grilling experience that much better.
-
Durability: Not all stainless steel is created equally. The higher the grade, the more resistant to rust. Across the industry, 304 stainless steel is considered the best.
-
Grilling Area and BTUs: When comparing gas grills, the grilling area and BTUs are very important to consider. Although all Napoleon grills are built with high quality materials, you may need a larger cooking area to cook more food at a time. And to achieve more consistent cooking in a larger space, your grill will need more BTUs to heat the area more efficiently.

Best Freestanding
Freestanding Napoleon gas grills offer both versatility and convenience. Since freestanding grills are on carts with wheels, they can be transported around your backyard or to a completely new location like a friend’s house or a tailgate party. You can set up shop anywhere – all you need is a tank of gas.
