Direct n indirect

Bought this 11/2019 it has been excellent for grilling. Just make sure when you use direct or indirect cooking to be careful on the amount of coals. Sometimes I over do it as it gets over 500 degrees. Indirect is great for baking pies or potatoes. Roasting a turkey today so far so good.

Very good control, well built

I have been very happy with this grill; it is quite large so there is plenty of space for both direct and indirect heat. To the complaints from others about the grill running hot, I find it very easy to manage by using only the center section for charcoal. You can then control the heat on the rest of the grill easily with a combination of changing the level of the coals and moving food further from or closer to the center. Coals can easily be added from the top by removing the smaller center grill section. I agree that this is not a good product for smoking, but if you are serious about smoking I think a separate dedicated smoker is a much better option than trying to use the same product for two very different purposes. Overall I'm very happy with the grill; it's well built, easy to control, and very spacious.

Best charcoal rotisserie

I love this BBQ. Huge cooking area, well built, adjustable coal bed, worth the money. I did a 30lb pig on the rotisserie no problem. I usually do two chickens at a time, but could easily do 3.

Huge cooking surface

Well the price seemed high I have only used charcoal my whole grilling life I had one of your kettle grills sadly the bottom rotted out. This grill surpasses my expectations so far I've already grilled about 5 times even though our weather hasn't been ideal I'm looking forward to many years of grilling with this beast.

Half a Pro grill

TLDR version: Great for direct grilling, and short duration indirect grilling. Bad for long duration indirect grilling. Good quality materials that look like they will last for many years. The Good: Excellent bottom half of the grill. The coal trays and adjustment rack work great. The design of the mechanism to raise and lower the rack allows for over 90% of the cooking area to be covered by the coal rack, whereas those crank handle types are more like 65% of the cooking area. Creates a much more even cook over the whole area. Been working fine for almost a year now, so hope it maintains it's durability. Cooking racks are great, provide good sear marks, had no problem with food sticking, and don't seem to rust like cast iron racks. Ash tray seems to be of a durable material, and no sign of corrosion yet. The Mediocre: The door in the front to add coals is pretty useless as it's too small. The only time I typically would add coals is for long term indirect cooking (more below) and the door only really allows access to the center coal rack. The ash tray could be a bit deeper so you are not cleaning it out so often, and no reason from the design that is couldn't be a bit deeper. The bad: Complete inability to manage the cooking temperature because of the lid! After what looks like a thoughtful design on the charcoal rack, they just put what looks like a typical gas grill lid on a charcoal grill. This lid lets so much air into the cooking chamber you have no ability to control the cooking temp by managing the air flow, which is critical for cooking with charcoal over a longer period. If this grill had a tight fitting solid lid, with adjustable air vents then it would get 5 stars. Even if you are looking to roast a whole chicken you either start off with it too hot to begin and let the temp come down as the coals burn down, or you're trying to add small amounts of fuel during the process which creates a hot/cool/hot/cool/hot cycle during the cook instead of a nice even temp for the whole duration. I wouldn't even think about attempting the Thanksgiving turkey on this. Huge disappointment for this price.

No heat control, not for slow cooking, needs constant attent

I bought this 6 months ago as it seemed perfect for cooking long skewers of chicken, beef, etc. which I do about once a month. The cooking surface is huge and much better suited for long metal skewers vs round charcoal BBQs. Kabobs aside, I use this about 3 times a week. If you are cooking something quick, it works well, provided you time things right. The temperature slide (to increase/decrease air flow) does absolutely nothing - there is just too much other air flow into the coal bed, meaning this thing runs hot! You need to control the temperature by limiting/arranging the charcoal, and constantly watching it. This is quite difficult through the little door - I need to leave one of the grates off and place charcoal from the top. And add to much charcoal, this thing can shoot past 700 degrees in no time and you will have to wait out the inferno. Raising/lower the coal bed helps control temp/sear, but always lower it before opening the lid as the slightest breeze will blow ash all over the food. This thing sounded totally amazing as advertised, but in reality just does not deliver.

Question:
Why are the grates wavy? Like going up and down? Seems like the food would roll from the high spot to the low spot. Or is the picture deceiving and the grates flat but wave from side to side?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Scott. The waves go side to side, this helps keep smaller items from falling through the grates and leave great looking sear marks on your food.

Question:
The cooking grid doesn't appear to be flat. I'm not sure how I'd like that. Is there an advantage or an option to get a flat grid?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Scott, The Napoleon PRO605CSS Professional Charcoal Grill does not have adjustable cooking grids, however many grills have their cooking grids on a frontward sloping gradient due to grills typically being hotter towards the back because of air flow within the grill.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
