Frequently Asked Questions
What sets Napoleon gas grills apart from other premium gas grill brands?
Napoleon grills are manufactured in Canada and are known for their heavy-gauge stainless steel construction, high-output infrared burners for searing, and a distinctive WAVE cooking grid design that provides more contact surface area and prevents food from falling through the grates. The brand sits in the upper-mid to premium tier and consistently earns high marks for build quality, warranty support, and the inclusion of features - like integrated side burners, interior lighting, and infrared rear burners for rotisserie cooking - that are often optional add-ons on competing brands.
Do Napoleon gas grills come with a warranty?
Napoleon offers one of the most comprehensive warranties in the gas grill industry. Depending on the specific model, warranty coverage on burners can extend to 10 to 15 years, with lifetime coverage on certain castings and structural components. Surface components and electrical parts carry shorter coverage periods. Registering your grill with Napoleon promptly after purchase is important for activating full warranty benefits and streamlining any future service claims.
Can Napoleon gas grills be converted to natural gas?
Many Napoleon gas grill models are available in both propane and natural gas configurations, and a significant number also support field conversion using an official Napoleon conversion kit. Performing a conversion requires changing the burner orifices and pressure regulator to match natural gas specifications. Napoleon recommends having conversions performed by a qualified technician, and DIY conversions may void the warranty on affected components. Always confirm natural gas compatibility with the specific model before purchasing a conversion kit.
What is Napoleon's infrared SIZZLE ZONE burner?
The SIZZLE ZONE is Napoleon's proprietary infrared side burner - a high-intensity ceramic burner that can reach temperatures exceeding 1,800°F, making it capable of replicating the high-heat sear of a commercial steakhouse broiler. At that temperature, a thick steak can develop a deep, caramelized crust in 60 to 90 seconds per side without gray, overcooked interior meat. The SIZZLE ZONE is designed for finishing steaks using the reverse sear method - smoking or indirect cooking the steak to near target temperature, then searing on the infrared burner for the final crust.
How do I maintain a Napoleon gas grill to maximize its lifespan?
Clean the cooking grates after every use while still warm. Inspect and clean the burner tubes seasonally - spider webs and debris can obstruct burner ports and cause uneven flame or dangerous gas buildup. Remove and wash drip trays regularly to prevent grease fires. Cover the grill when not in use to protect stainless steel from corrosion-accelerating salt exposure in coastal environments. Annually, inspect the igniter electrodes and gas connections, and apply a stainless steel protectant to exterior surfaces to prevent oxidation and discoloration.
