Overview
Not a basic round kettle, this Napoleon grill adds a stainless extension ring, height adjustable cast iron grids and a smoke stack chimney to the classic shape. Porcelain coated steel forms the lid and bowl, and the lid swings open on an offset hinge.
Grid height adjustment and the Vortex system give real control over searing versus slow cooking. Hinged grids make adding fuel or wood mid cook easy. The rotisserie port and probe doors invite add-ons that the listing does not include.
Who it's for
Backyard cooks who move between steaks, roasts and smoked meats get a kettle with more control points than a plain bowl. Gas grill fans and people who want a ready rotisserie should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Grid adjusts to three heights
- Hinged grids for adding fuel
- Offset lid gives full access
- Probe doors for thermometers
- Rotisserie spit not listed as included
- Cooking area modest for large crowds
Performance notes
Heat control comes from airflow through the vents and chimney and from how far the grid is set above the coals. The Vortex system increases convection inside the bowl, which helps both searing and fuel efficiency.
