The cooking surface uses 7.5 mm stainless steel WAVE grids, giving this configuration Napoleon’s distinctive grid profile.
JETFIRE sends a jet of flame to ignite each burner individually. The ignition is built into the burner controls, so you can light the cooking zones you need as you begin your cook.
Two levels of stainless steel sear plates sit beneath the cooking surface as part of the grill’s heat-management system.
48,000 BTU per hour describes the appliance’s rated heat input. Use the burner breakdown in Specifications to see how that output is distributed; BTU is not a cooking temperature.
The main cooking system uses 4 stainless steel burners. Compare this with the side- and rear-burner equipment listed separately.
The main cooking surface and warming rack provide a combined 785 square inches of cooking area. Use the 29.5 × 18-inch main-grid dimensions when comparing the space directly above the burners.
These dimensions describe the primary cooking surface, helping you judge the room available for food and cookware without counting secondary racks.
The shaped knobs give you a clear point of adjustment when setting burner output.
The integrated ACCU-PROBE gauge lets you check the indicated grill temperature while keeping the lid closed.
The LIFT EASE roll-top design changes how the lid opens above the cooking surface. Confirm the open-lid clearance when planning your space.
This model supports conversion from propane to natural gas with Napoleon’s compatible N370-1048 conversion kit, sold separately. It offers flexibility if your outdoor kitchen’s fuel supply changes; arrange installation according to the manufacturer’s conversion instructions.
This component is intended to integrate into an outdoor kitchen. Use its installation requirements to plan the opening.

EXTERNAL CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
The Built-in 500 is the Napoleon we would discuss when the outdoor kitchen is centered on straightforward grilling. Stainless cooking grids, four main burners and simple ignition give it a useful foundation without the extra lighting and rotisserie equipment of the 700. Owners we read liked the cooking results and fit in their islands. The details to settle early are the cutout, gas connection and included fittings: one buyer needed to purchase a regulator, and another found the installation instructions less specific than expected.
Owners like cooking performance, stainless construction and the fit within their islands. A buyer needed an additional regulator, while another wanted clearer model-specific instructions. Check the supplied fittings and current installation drawing before the countertop opening is finalized.
The 500 puts the emphasis on everyday grilling, with stainless grids and straightforward ignition in a tidy built-in format. Owners like the cooking results and how the grill fits into an island. It suits a kitchen where the main grill will do most of the work without a separate rotisserie or lighting package.
Check the cutout and included gas fittings against the exact model before construction starts. One buyer needed an additional regulator, and another wanted more specific installation instructions. If evening lighting or dedicated rotisserie cooking matters to you, compare the equipment included with the 700 before deciding.
Spend on a well-planned island and useful accessories before paying for functions you rarely use. Compare complete delivered equipment packages.
