Napoleon BBQs

Find a Napoleon BBQ that suits the way you want to cook outdoors. Whether you want the convenience of gas for weeknight dinners, the hands-on pleasure of charcoal cooking or a compact grill for days away, Napoleon offers a range of barbecues for different spaces, menus and budgets.

At BBQs 2u, an authorised Napoleon UK dealer, we help you look beyond the model name and choose the features that matter to you. Explore our Napoleon gas BBQs, Napoleon charcoal BBQs and Napoleon BBQ accessories, or read on to find your starting point.

Why choose a Napoleon barbecue?

A barbecue earns its place in your garden when you enjoy using it regularly. Napoleon combines practical cooking layouts with a choice of equipment for grilling, roasting, searing and, on suitably equipped models, rotisserie cooking and smoking.

That gives you room to move beyond burgers: grilled fish with vegetables, a steak supper on the patio or a roast shared with friends. Choosing the right size and cooking setup can make outdoor meals easier to organise and give you more reasons to spend time outside together.

Napoleon’s distinctive features include WAVE cooking grids, JETFIRE ignition on selected gas grills and SIZZLE ZONE infrared burners on equipped models. These features serve different purposes, and not every barbecue includes them. Compare the specification of your chosen model to see which benefits you will use.

Napoleon gas BBQs: convenient cooking with flexible heat zones

A Napoleon gas barbecue is a useful choice if you want to cook outdoors often and adjust the heat as you go. On models with independently controlled burners, you can arrange hotter and cooler cooking zones for different foods, or set up indirect heat for roasting with the lid closed.

The gas range stretches from practical family barbecues to larger cooking stations with infrared burners, rotisserie equipment and connected technology. Begin with the main cooking area and burner layout, then consider which extra cooking methods will broaden your menu.

Find your place in the Napoleon gas BBQ range

• Freestyle: a starting point for shoppers who want everyday gas grilling in a practical garden barbecue. Compare the different sizes and side-burner options within the wider Napoleon gas BBQ category.
• Rogue: a broad family offering different sizes, finishes and cooking configurations, including Rogue PRO and PRO-S versions. Explore our Napoleon Rogue BBQs to understand the range.
• Prestige: worth considering when you want more cooking versatility and equipment for entertaining, with connected monitoring on specified models. Discover our Napoleon Prestige BBQs.
• Prestige PRO: premium cooking equipment and cabinet refinements, with touchscreen technology on the new Smart-Connected models and different layouts elsewhere in the family. Compare our Napoleon Prestige PRO BBQs.

These are introductions to the families rather than a catalogue of every model. Sizes, burner arrangements, connectivity and included accessories vary, so use the individual product listings for the precise specification.

Napoleon charcoal BBQs: take your time and enjoy the process

If lighting the charcoal and managing the fire are part of the pleasure, a Napoleon charcoal barbecue gives you a different outdoor cooking experience. Arrange the coals for direct grilling or create an indirect cooking area for food that benefits from a gentler finish.

Choosing a charcoal BBQ is about more than diameter. Consider the cooking grid, access for adding fuel, ash collection and whether a cart would make preparation more comfortable. For smoking recipes, check the equipment and temperature range suited to the method you want to use.

Explore our Napoleon charcoal BBQ range for charcoal cooking options and the differences between their designs.

Napoleon portable BBQs: outdoor cooking beyond the patio

A smaller barbecue can be a good fit for camping trips, touring or a garden where a full-size cooking station would take up too much room. Napoleon’s portable gas grills bring adjustable heat to a more compact format.

Think about how you will move, store and use the barbecue: cooking area, overall weight, stand design and fuel connection all matter. Browse our Napoleon portable BBQs to compare the available setups.

Which Napoleon BBQ features are worth looking for?

Infrared SIZZLE ZONE searing

An equipped model’s infrared SIZZLE ZONE provides concentrated heat for developing a browned crust on steak and other foods. A separate searing surface can also leave room on the main grill for accompaniments. Check where the infrared burners are positioned: the layout differs between barbecues.

WAVE cooking grids

Napoleon’s wave-shaped grids provide its recognisable cooking surface and sear pattern. Grid material varies between models, including porcelain-coated cast iron and stainless steel. Compare the material and its care requirements alongside the cooking area.

Rear burners and rotisserie cooking

A rear infrared burner provides a dedicated heat source for a compatible rotisserie setup. This is useful if roast chicken and larger joints are part of your outdoor menu. A rear burner does not automatically mean a rotisserie kit is included; confirm the product contents.

Connected temperature monitoring

Selected Napoleon Connected and Smart-Connected gas grills support temperature monitoring through displays, probes and the Napoleon Home app. Following internal food temperature can help you judge larger cuts and more ambitious recipes. Displays, probe equipment and other smart functions differ between models.

How to choose the right Napoleon BBQ for your garden

Start with the meals you want to make and the space available. A bigger barbecue is not automatically a better fit: the most useful choice is one with a cooking layout you will enjoy using.

• Choose your cooking style: gas for convenient heat adjustment, charcoal for managing the fire, or a portable grill for a compact setup.
• Allow enough working space: check the full width with shelves, lid clearance and the clearances specified in the manual.
• Compare usable cooking areas: think about cooking several dishes together, rather than relying on a headline burger count.
• Prioritise your favourite techniques: consider infrared searing, indirect roasting, rotisserie cooking or smoking equipment where relevant.
• Plan the complete setup: account for a suitable cover, fuel, cleaning equipment and any optional cooking accessories.

Napoleon BBQ accessories: get more from your grill

The right accessories can make preparation, cooking and maintenance easier. A model-specific cover, suitable cleaning tools and a food thermometer are useful starting points. Compatible rotisserie, smoking and specialist cooking accessories can then support the recipes you want to try.

Explore our Napoleon BBQ accessories. Check compatibility against your barbecue’s model or SKU, especially for fitted covers and rotisserie equipment. If you are unsure, ask the BBQs 2u team before ordering.
