I have owned one of these over here in the UK for 3 years now. A superb piece of kit. You can cook anything on it given the amount of control you have over the heat. Fill one bay with charcoal and then cook by radiant heat the other end or with the lid down. The rotisserie is superb too - and huge - almost a metre long - enough for a suckling pig, several chickens or beef joints.
Only one problem - the thermometer has given up the ghost so I buy a cheap s/steel oven one and leave it inside on one of the shelves.
I have one of these. The best lighting option in my opinion is the Looftlighter, or an equivalent. Especially with the Rotisserie basket. Filling it with Charcoal or a mix of Charcoal and Briquettes, and then lighting it in three spots at the bottom of the basket with the Looftlighter is quick, easy, and a lot safer than pouring hot coals into the top slot. I noticed the comment about the drip tray. Of course, you would only empty that when the coals have gone out. If I grill in the evening, I will do it the next morning. Because we live by the sea, I then wipe some cooking oil on to the trays to prevent rust. Later models have three individual charcoal trays, as the large tray as seen here, is susceptible to warping. It really is a great barbecue, and adding smoke wood works well too. I also use a small Napoleon Pro285 Gas for convenience, eg; Breakfast bacon and eggs, mushroon and tomato!
Wow wow what a dream! This bbq is sick! This one will be my next!!!
Hi Steve, thanks for that review on this - as it seems - awesome grill! I am so curious for some cooks on this Napoleon Pro605. Did you not post any or did I just not find them? I´d really like to know how this grill behaves when you want to do low and slow jobs like ribs or pulled pork. Have you any Information for me?
Looks like a very well built grill Steve. Can't wait to see you cooking on that beast!!!
T-ROY COOKS Thanks bro!
This is cool. Reminds me of Hasty Bake. Looks like it would last forever.
Great looking grill Steve. I would have never guessed it was a charcoal grill. All the features of a gas/infrared grill with the use of charcoal, cool combination.
Bad Beast Barbecue Thanks Daryl! I just sub'd to your channel! Lookin' forward to more cooks from ya my man!
Awesome Grill Review!
BigPolarJer BBQ Thanks brother!
Nice review Steve, and very nice charcoal grill from Napoleon.
Smoky Ribs Thx Rus! Stoked to see you work your magic on your new Napoleon rigs too! :)
Great review Steve! Can't wait to see this in action. Is it airtight? Or do you think any charcoal will just burn off?
White Thunder BBQ Nate, haven't got to cook on it yet b/c of the freaking daily rain here in Florida the past week...so I'll let ya know later once I get a cook or two knocked out.
Steve new sub nice looking grill!
Nice grill Steve and I look forward to some cooks! Big-time name grill.
Lee Setzer Thanks Lee! Yeah man, I'm pretty amped on this one.
awesome grill ! Nice review
Peter van Amstel Thx Peter!
So any videos on this? I want a nice charcoal grill.
. Not sure on this , the PK, or Webber 22 with side wings.... thank you.
Steve I currently have a natural gas Napoleon grill which I love. When I cook steaks I do so with charcoal. I checked out this video as I'm interested in buying a grill for charcoal use only. This grill is quite expensive here in Canada at $1,449 Canadian funds plus tax. Is there something I could buy instead of this grill to use on my current gas grill? Thanks for your help and keep up the great work.
Epic grill. Has anyone found any videos / reviews with test cooks on this beast? Ive searched everywhere.
Steve you have an arsenal of grills my friend, how many do you have?
how is the air control? for instance, if you close the front vent will the charcoal go out like on a weber kettle?
Steve, nice review. that grill has a lot of good features and looks very well built. the door in front of the bbq with the pull handle has to be for adding charcoal can it be added at any grate height ?? cant wait for you to cook on it especially on the rotisserie.awesome job brother.
Cris Workizer Cris, yeah man, that's for adding charcoal during the cook. I can't BELIEVE I forgot to show that! You're the first to call me out on that so I'll make sure to show that feature in my first cook. It just needs to stop raining here now! :)
Just picked up this same bbq here in Alberta, Canada. How has yours been holding up to use so far?
I own 2 basic BBQ pro smokers.. I like them, the grates season so well its gonna be hard not to still use it, but this grill is what I'm looking for because of the ability to lower the coals so easily.. I mainly only do pork butts and chuck roast so this grill would be perfect for indirect smoking..
Jah Biggs Sounds good man. I'm gonna try hard and get some cooks filmed soon so make sure to check some of those out to see it in action.
Pretty nice! I'm curious to see how that rotisserie works.
TosTinMan EasyCooking Thanks man. Prob within the next 2 weeks I'll get a rotisserie video posted.
i cant finde it, is it still available, or out of production?
I love it! Can't wait to see you cook with it. Does it have a lighting port for an electric starter? I'm guessing the door in the front is for this use.
Hellfax I'm sure you could use the front door for that...but the instructions are pretty clear about using a chimney for lighting the grill, then using that front door to add additional briquettes as needed during your cook.
Oh ok thanks. I still really like this unit.
Hey i am hoping you make some more videos, they are always well done but i see u havent made any in a while
Great grill steve, I own 2 napol
eons myself(and Broil King) terrific and best thing is they are built in North America(actually just north of me in Barrie Ontario) great quality compared to the offshore stuff.
Moo Cow Thanks man! Yeah, the quality so far seems really nice. I'm excited to start putting this grill to use on come cooks :)
what is your go to smoker now? I remember when you started on the WSM. Why is said smoker your go to smoker? if it's not the WSM, what makes the other smokers better? Just curious if it's worth it for me to get another smoker other than my 18.5 wsm. maybe this could be a video? you going over all the smokers you've used so far? love your stuff man. keep it up. Go gators. I used to live of 13th st in the NW part, back when there was still a blockbuster at the corner.
DUDE!! You've been following me a long time. Thanks so much for the support!! Small world...my college house when I was attending UF was on NW 7th Ave near 13th :)
Short answer that I tell everyone now: There's no perfect smoker/grill....it all comes down to what you want. Convenience, consistency, smoker-only, smoker/grill/roaster combo? IMO...a buller (WSM) or barrel smoker (PBC), a pellet grill and a kamado is THE perfect setup. A lot of guys have WSMs and ask me what's next on the pricier options. I always say the next step is a pellet smoker/grill or kamado.
But at the same time...I'm always quick to mention that if you love your WSM and cook some epic food on it and don't mind the mess of them, then there's no reason to get something else. At the end of the day though...we're dudes....and a lot of time we're like chicks when it comes to shopping for clothes.... we don't "need" another smoker...but why the hell not!!?? :)
I'm still recovering from our loss on Sunday....we should have won that game, then fell apart.... :(
Looks amazing, can't wait to see it inaction. With charcoal basket control and airflow you should be able to do a reverse sear on your steaks.
Ryan T Ryan, I plan to do exactly that some time this week if it will stop raining every day...so keep an eye out. I'm gonna start with the grates all the way down and cook over indirect then raise them all the way up and sear real quick on the direct side to finish.
I am only worried that the drip tray and charcoal tray are not stainless steel, that is the killer for all charcoal grills. Even if you cover and clean your grill it is a matter of time before they rust.
I can see full video of your view.
I likey-likey. Well thought out grill!
grassburner Agreed! :) Thanks!
It's a shame it doesn't have vents on the top so you could have the option to smoke
Steve, really hope I didnt come across as an ass, really just wanted to no if coals could be added at any grate level...not calling you out brother,.like what you do..keep up the awesome bbq .sincerly ,Cris
Cris Workizer Of coarse you didn't brother!! I was glad you called me out on that so I can show it in the next video. Cheers man!
That looks sick, but I still love my kamado.
Brian Chrisman LOL. You know I love kamados too brother :)
StokedOnSmoke Oh I know....I guess what I'm really getting at is the lady wouldn't allow another grill that basically does the same thing LOL..........I do like the ability to raise or lower the coals. And LOVE the grate with the channels
Do you still own this grill?
I do not.
@@StokedOnSmoke Would you recommend this grill? Any pro / cons you could share. Thanks for the videos.
Lovely.. .but expensive.
maciekthepole $1500 for the Napoleon OR $109 for a Charbroil barrel grill and $1391 for ribs and beer
Fernbark Frist Looked at wrong grill....$1299 for the charcoal Napoleon.
Everything was going good until you showed the ash/grease catcher. If you took that ash catcher out the remaining ash can fall into the storage area. Just thinking about it, who knows what if the coals that felling into the storage bin is still hot.... guess what fire in the bin where you stored the bag full of charcoal and lighting fluid
PORCELAIN?? No Thanks. Iron cast rules.
Well isn't that a load of crap... porcelain coated cast iron, that's just what stops me from buying a damn BBQ.....WTF is wrong with plain Jane GOOD OLD SIMPLE CAST IRON FFS. I want to put some oil on it, treat it, and use a damn metal brush to clean my damn grill, NOT plastic. Can't use a good metal scrubber on that girly porcelain crap.
