Napoleon Rogue BBQs

Make more of meals in the garden with a Napoleon Rogue gas BBQ. From a quick supper after work to steaks for friends and a leisurely weekend roast, the Rogue family offers different combinations of cooking space, materials and equipment to suit the way you barbecue.

Explore Napoleon Rogue, Rogue PRO and Rogue PRO-S options below. BBQs 2u is an authorised Napoleon UK dealer, with a family team ready to explain the differences and help you choose. Check individual listings for current availability, exact specifications and included accessories.

Why choose a Napoleon Rogue gas barbecue?

The appeal of a Rogue is its flexibility. Independently controlled main burners let you cook over direct heat or arrange an indirect cooking area with the lid closed, following the model’s instructions. That gives a conventional Rogue gas grill a place in everyday meals as well as weekend entertaining.

You might grill chicken and vegetables for dinner, sear steaks on an equipped model’s infrared side burner, or use indirect heat for a larger joint. Cooking outdoors becomes another way to spend time together, rather than something reserved for an occasional summer party.

Features such as WAVE cooking grids, a lid thermometer and practical side preparation space support that versatility. The equipment changes between Rogue versions, so the best choice is the one whose extra features you will actually use.

Rogue, Rogue PRO or Rogue PRO-S: what is the difference?

Napoleon Rogue: a versatile starting point

The standard Napoleon Rogue gas BBQ combines stainless steel main burners, a cast aluminium cooking chamber and porcelain-coated cast iron WAVE grids. It is a useful starting point if you want straightforward grilling, with the option to explore indirect cooking on a conventional lidded barbecue.

Choose your cooking area around a complete meal, rather than just the number of burgers that will fit. Allow room for vegetables, bread and foods that finish at different times. Check the exact model’s burner layout, side shelves and storage dimensions before deciding.

Napoleon Rogue PRO: add infrared steak searing

The Rogue PRO brings an infrared SIZZLE ZONE side burner alongside the main grill. It gives you a separate place to sear steaks and chops while the main cooking area handles other ingredients.

The current UK Rogue PRO gas grill uses porcelain-coated cast iron main grids and white illuminated controls. It is a practical step up for cooks who enjoy steak nights and want an additional cooking surface without making a rear rotisserie burner their priority.

Napoleon Rogue PRO-S: more options for entertaining

The Rogue PRO-S adds a larger SIZZLE ZONE, a dedicated rear infrared rotisserie burner and stainless steel WAVE main grids. SafetyGlow controls provide another distinction from the PRO’s white lighting.

These additions are worth comparing if you enjoy cooking larger meals, want a dedicated heat source for spit roasting, or prefer stainless steel main grids. A rear burner and a rotisserie kit are separate things: check the product listing, as the kit is sold separately on the current UK PRO-S models.

This comparison describes the current conventional UK Rogue, PRO and PRO-S gas grills. Other Rogue variants and planchas have different specifications.

SIZZLE ZONE infrared side burners: a separate place to sear

If you are looking for a Napoleon Rogue BBQ with an infrared side burner, compare equipped PRO and PRO-S options. The SIZZLE ZONE uses concentrated infrared heat to brown the surface of steaks and chops.

Sear on the side burner, then move the food to a gentler part of the main grill to finish cooking. It lets you keep the main area available for the rest of the meal. Use a food thermometer to check doneness rather than relying on colour alone.

Suitable cookware can also make the side burner useful for sauces and accompaniments, following Napoleon’s instructions. The important question is how you will use that extra cooking station, rather than simply choosing the model with the most burners.

Cast iron or stainless steel WAVE cooking grids?

Both materials have a place in the Rogue family. Porcelain-coated cast iron grids retain heat well for searing, while stainless steel cooking grids offer another durable cooking surface with different care requirements.

The WAVE pattern gives Napoleon’s conventional gas grills their distinctive cooking-grid shape. Look beyond the exterior finish when comparing models: a stainless steel barbecue body does not necessarily mean stainless steel main grids.

Follow the cleaning instructions for your particular grids, and use suitable tools. Neither material removes the need for regular care.

Choose cooking space around your patio and your meals

A larger grill is useful when you regularly prepare several dishes together. A smaller model can be a better fit when garden space is limited or most meals are for a smaller household.

Compare main burners separately from side and rear burners. Extra main burners can provide more options for arranging heat across the grill; an infrared side burner or rear burner serves a different purpose.

Measure the space with side shelves raised and allow the operating clearances required by the manual. Folding shelves help with storage on equipped models, but the folding arrangement varies. Think about where ingredients, serving plates and utensils will sit while you cook.

Also exploring the Phantom Rogue gas plancha?

The Phantom Rogue PRO gas plancha offers a different approach, with a solid stainless steel plate for smash burgers, breakfast, seafood and chopped vegetables. It can complement a conventional barbecue or suit households that prefer flat-top cooking.

Its electronic ignition and plate differ from a Rogue grill’s JETFIRE system and WAVE grids. The main protective lid stays open while cooking. Compare it as a separate cooking style rather than assuming the features in the gas-grill comparison apply to it.

Napoleon Rogue BBQ FAQs

Which Napoleon Rogue BBQ should I buy?

Start with your required cooking space. Compare a standard Rogue for versatile grilling, PRO for a separate infrared searing station, and PRO-S if its rear burner and stainless steel main grids will be useful. Browse the listed options for current prices and availability.

What do SIB and RSIB mean?

SIB identifies a side infrared burner configuration. RSIB identifies rear and side infrared burners. Check the complete model reference, as other equipment and included accessories can differ.

Does every Rogue BBQ have JETFIRE ignition and cross-lighting?

The conventional Rogue gas grills discussed here use JETFIRE main-burner ignition. Cross-lighting brackets on equipped models allow a neighbouring lit burner to help ignite an adjacent burner with its gas supply on. This is not a flame-sensing safety system. Rogue planchas use a different electronic ignition system.

Can I fit a rotisserie without a rear burner?

Some Rogue grills accept a compatible rotisserie kit even without a dedicated rear burner. Follow the kit and grill instructions for the correct setup. PRO-S offers a dedicated rear infrared heat source; confirm the kit required for your exact model.

Can a Rogue gas BBQ roast food?

Conventional lidded Rogue grills can use indirect heat for roasting, following Napoleon’s instructions. Arrange the burners so food is away from direct heat and monitor its temperature. A plancha’s protective lid must remain open and does not provide the same roasting setup.

Are Napoleon Rogue BBQs propane or natural gas?

The UK Rogue models discussed here use propane. Check the exact product’s fuel specification and use its prescribed regulator, hose and connection. Do not assume it can be connected to a household natural gas supply.

What warranty comes with a Napoleon Rogue gas grill?

The conventional Rogue gas grills covered here have a Napoleon 15-year limited warranty programme. Coverage periods and conditions vary by component; it does not mean every part receives 15 years of free replacement. Check your exact product’s warranty documentation.

I have seen a Rogue XT or Rogue SE. How do these compare?

XT and SE identify other Rogue variants with different equipment. Send us the exact SKU and we can help check its specification and availability against the options currently offered. A similar size or series name does not make two barbecues identical.
