Napoleon Phantom Prestige 500 Stand Alone Gas Grill with Wi-Fi, Side and Rear Burner

Finish only. Phantom uses matte black porcelain enamel across the body and cart. Cooking hardware is identical.

Yes, core grilling and probe reading work offline. Wi-Fi enables remote monitoring and firmware updates.

The porcelain enamel is baked on, not painted. It resists chips and fading better than standard paint.

Yes. The Phantom Prestige line is Napoleon's Canadian-built series with a special finish.

The Phantom is the same connected Prestige 500 grill finished in an all-over matte black porcelain-enamel look rather than standard stainless, giving it a sleek, blacked-out appearance. The cooking hardware, Wi-Fi control, and infrared burners are the same. So you are choosing it for the styling; the performance matches the standard Connected 500.

Matte black shows water spots and smudges a bit more readily than brushed stainless, so a gentle wipe with a soft cloth after cooking keeps it looking its best, and a fitted cover protects it between uses. Avoid abrasive pads that can mar the finish. With that light care, the blacked-out look stays sharp for years.

With four main burners and 500 square inches of primary cooking space, plus the stow-away warming rack, it comfortably serves families and regular entertaining in the six to ten range. Add the SIZZLE ZONE side burner and rear rotisserie burner and you have searing and roasting on top of that. It is a well-rounded mid-size grill.

This model includes the rear rotisserie kit, so you have the rear infrared burner and the turning hardware to cook self-basting whole birds and roasts right out of the box. That is a nice value, since rotisserie kits are often a separate purchase. It means you can try rotisserie cooking without ordering anything extra.
