Features & cooking details

9.5 mm stainless steel WAVE grids

9.5 mm stainless steel WAVE grids

Thick stainless steel cooking grids retain heat between turns. Napoleon’s distinctive wave-shaped profile supports food across the cooking surface.

SIZZLE ZONE®

SIZZLE ZONE®

A dedicated infrared side burner delivers concentrated heat for high-temperature searing. Give steaks and chops a browned crust while keeping the main cooking surface free for the rest of the meal.

Stow the warming rack behind the burner

Stow the warming rack behind the burner

The warming rack slides behind the rear infrared burner when you do not need the extra cooking level.

Connected controls and food monitoring

Connected controls and food monitoring

Use traditional controls or Smart Mode through the app or LCD screen. The system supports three wired and two wireless probes so you can monitor different foods as they cook; check the included equipment for the probes supplied with your model.

82,000 BTU

82,000 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.

4 stainless steel main burners

The main cooking system uses 4 stainless steel burners. Compare this with the side- and rear-burner equipment listed separately.

900 sq. in. total cooking area

The total includes the cooking surfaces counted for this configuration. Compare the main cooking-area measurement separately when choosing primary grill space.

28 × 17.75 in. main cooking area

These dimensions describe the primary cooking surface, helping you judge the room available for food and cookware without counting secondary racks.

Accessible cleanup tray

An accessible drip tray collects drippings, while its vented cap supports airflow and heat retention.

Reflect heat toward the cooking surface

The reflector directs heat upward to help distribute it across the cooking area.

JETFIRE 2.0 ignition

The battery-free ignition system keeps lighting the grill straightforward, without adding batteries to your preparation routine.

Automatic heat adjustment when the lid opens

The grill adjusts its heat when you open the lid, helping manage the cooking temperature as you check the food.

A place for rotisserie equipment

A hook at the rear holds the rotisserie rod, while the forks store inside the cabinet door.

SmartGlow and SafetyGlow controls

Metal control knobs have illuminated LED rings that make the controls easier to see in lower light. SmartGlow changes the lighting from softer orange toward stronger red as you increase the heat setting, while SafetyGlow indicates when the gas is on.

Lighting for cooking and storage

Hood lights illuminate the cooking area, and lighting beneath the control panel helps you see inside the drawers.

Rotisserie equipment included

An included high-capacity rotisserie kit works with the infrared rear burner for roasting.

Guidance for direct and indirect cooking

Indicators at the burner knobs help identify which burners to use for direct or indirect cooking.

Everyday tools within reach

Integrated hooks provide a place for cooking tools, while a bottle opener adds a useful detail beside the preparation area.

Move the grill into position

The rolling support is designed for smooth movement when positioning the cool grill around its outdoor cooking space.

Cooking controls on your phone

Use the mobile app to set and monitor cooking temperature, follow food-probe readings and receive alerts.

Flame-out alerts and automatic gas shut-off

If the flame goes out, the system sends an alert and automatically shuts off the gas after 30 seconds. Follow the operating instructions before restarting.

Lifetime Limited Warranty

Napoleon provides lifetime coverage for listed major components, including stainless steel cooking grids and tube burners, against qualifying manufacturing defects. Other components have their own coverage periods; the model-specific warranty below explains the terms.

More ways to cook from one grill

Grill, griddle, smoke, sear, roast, bake, cook with charcoal or use Smart Mode. Some cooking methods require accessories sold separately.

Designed for a quicker warm-up

The heating system is designed to reach cooking temperature quickly. Allow the grill to preheat for the cooking method and conditions.

Move it, then secure it

Locking wheels make it easier to reposition the grill and secure it in its chosen location.

OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT

Hearth Outpost Score

8.4/10

The Napoleon Prestige PRO makes the most sense for someone who enjoys cooking beyond the main grill surface. We like the flexibility of its searing and rotisserie options, backed by substantial cooking grids and useful lighting. The choice within the family deserves some thought: newer connected models bring more controls to learn, while other configurations offer a simpler routine. Owner feedback gives us reasons to discuss assembly, ignition and support before purchase. We would choose the exact PRO around how you cook, rather than assume the most elaborate version is the best fit.

What owners appreciate

Searing and rotisserie

Owners describe satisfying searing and enjoy the flexibility of rotisserie cooking. Those extra cooking options are a big part of the appeal of this family.

Lighting and cooking grids

Lighting and substantial grates get positive attention. Several owners of older grills describe years of enjoyable use, although that experience does not tell us how the newest electronics will age.

What to weigh before buying

Assembly and fittings

Plan time for assembly and check the doors, wiring and smaller fittings before the first cook. Some owners needed adjustments or replacement parts to get everything right.

Connected controls

Feedback on the newer smart models is mixed. Some owners enjoy the connected features, while others have struggled with setup, connections or controls. Decide how much you want that technology in your everyday cooking.

Heat and support

Some owners describe difficult heat control, lighting or ignition trouble, and delays getting parts or support. Check the service arrangements for your exact model and allow access to the components that may need maintenance.

Value Consideration

The extra spend makes the most sense if you will regularly use the searing, rotisserie and convenience features. If you mainly cook quick meals on the main burners, we would talk through whether you need the full PRO package.

Shipping

Hearth Outpost delivery truck

Where we ship

We ship within the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

Free Shipping on All Orders

Shipping is free on all orders.

Shipping and delivery timing

Most products ship within 24 hours of ordering, unless a different lead time is shown for the product. Delivery takes 2–4 days after shipment.

Tracking your order

Look for your shipping confirmation email for tracking information when your order ships. Items may arrive in separate shipments. Carrier delivery dates are estimates; contact us if you need help checking your order’s status.

Curbside delivery

Large or heavy products may arrive by freight. Standard freight delivery is curbside: plan for help moving the shipment from the curb to its final location. Carry-in service, assembly, installation and packaging removal are not part of standard curbside delivery.

Keep your delivery phone number current and watch for carrier instructions. Some carriers arrange an appointment; others provide an estimated delivery date. Let us know about stairs, narrow roads, gated access or other delivery restrictions before ordering, and confirm any liftgate or additional service needs with us.

Review the shipping information shown at checkout. For delivery timing, destination questions or special arrangements, call or email before placing your order.

Hassle Free Returns

Return requests must be made within 7 days of receiving your order. Call or email us with your order number and the item you would like to return.

You must contact us in advance to arrange return pickup. Please do not send items back without first arranging the return with us.

There is no restocking fee. For change-of-mind returns, customers are responsible for return shipping costs, which will be deducted from the refund. Customers do not pay return shipping for damaged items.

Keep the original packaging and all parts and accessories. If you’re considering a return, leave the product unused and uninstalled while we review your request. Custom-made items are identified on the product page before adding to cart and before order confirmation. Custom items cannot be returned for change of mind. Damaged-item support still applies.

Order cancellations

Custom orders may be canceled within 48 hours of order placement, provided production has not begun. Once a custom item has gone into production, it cannot be canceled.

Non-custom orders may be canceled within 4 hours of order placement. After this period, we will do our best to accommodate a cancellation request, but cancellation cannot be guaranteed.

Call or email us with your order number to request a cancellation.

Refunds

Approved refunds are issued immediately upon inspection of the returned item, to the original method of payment used for your order. Once we issue your refund, it usually takes 7–10 days for the credit to appear in your account. The exact timing depends on your credit card issuer, bank or payment provider and their processing policies.

This timeframe begins when the refund is issued, rather than when a return is requested or shipped. For change-of-mind returns, return shipping costs will be deducted from your refund. Customers do not pay return shipping for damaged items. There is no restocking fee.

If your refund has not appeared after 10 days, check your account or card statement and contact your bank or payment provider. If you still need help, contact us with your order number so we can help check the status.

Damages & missing items

Inspect all orders immediately upon receipt. Record any damage on the delivery paperwork at the time of receipt.

Report damages to Hearth Outpost by phone or email within 24 hours of receipt. Include your order number, a description of the damage, photos of the products and packaging, and a copy of the delivery paperwork.

Customers do not pay return shipping for damaged items. In some cases, we may send a replacement part or arrange a repair to resolve the damage.

  • Photograph the damage, packaging and shipping labels.
  • Keep the packaging, all parts and the delivery paperwork.
  • Do not install or use a damaged product. We’ll help you work through the next steps.
