The Bottom Line

This is a basic, relatively expensive gas grill similar in many ways to the Weber Genesis. Manufactured in Canada by Napoleon this is a high quality grill that is built to last and grill with a high, even heat. What you don't get with this grill is a lot of extras (unless you want to pay for them), but you do get a grill that you can count on due to superior engineering and solid components. If you are willing to sacrifice fancy for quality then this is definitely a gas grill to look at.

Guide Review - Napoleon Prestige P450 Gas Grill

This basic, three burner gas grill cooks exceptionally well. The burner arrangement on this Napoleon grill separates direct grilling from indirect. There is a back running burner that lets you create a ring of heat for indirect grilling at low and high temperatures. In fact this grill is designed to do high temperature indirect grilling that is perfect for roasting. Flip on the center burner and you have high, direct heat over the entire surface of the grill. Add in the heavy porcelain coated cast iron cooking grates and you get a grill that can put on a good sear.

While a basic unit, you can add an optional side burner on to this grill, either standard or infrared. The standard side burner is perfect for pots and pans, while the infrared side burner is better and intense searing. Since this grill gets hot enough for most grilling I suggest adding in the standard side burner (provided you do this type of cooking on your grill). If, however, you are interested mostly in high temperature searing of steaks then the infrared side burner might be better. If you have no need for either of these, then leave out the side burner and save yourself some money.

Napoleon makes excellent grills and provides great support and warranties. This is a grill you really won't have to worry about and should last you many years provided you take care of your investment and keep it clean and covered.

The Bottom Line

This is a dual head gas grill, meaning, this grill is actually two grills welded together. In this configuration you get a two burner infrared grill that heats up in one minute and grills a steak in four. On the other side you get a large three burner 45,000 BTU standard grill with full rotisserie system. Throw in a side burner (standard) and you have a real, full function gas grill. And this one isn't a gimmick. Solid construction, excellent cooking abilities and great features.

Guide Review - Napoleon Prestige II PT750rsbi Gemini Gas Grill

There have been dual head grills in the past, but until now they have largely been a gimmick. This is no gimmick. On one side you get a powerful two burner 30,000 BTU infrared grill, on the other a three burner 45,000 BTU standard grill. You also get a full rotisserie system including rear mounted infrared burner and a 13,000 flush mounted side burner. There are grills with everything and then there is this grill, with more.

In addition to all this the basic components of this grill are great. From the easy lift roll top lid to the grease management to the fantastic attention to detail. What you won't get with a Napoleon is large flare-ups and uneven heating.

What you need to think about with this grill is one; it is very large. You need a good deal of space to hold this, very big grill. Also, think about the dual head design before you buy. While a great feature for some, if you can't see the advantages working for you then you probably don't want to put down this kind of money (around $3,200USD). Instead save yourself a lot of money and take a look at the Napoleon Prestige II (PT450).
