Excellent video and demonstration on this new model. I’ve looking and reading a lot on the Napoleon Grills for the pass few months and found this new model. In my lifetime I have owned few grills, but in the 19 yrs I’ve own a weber grill because of their build quality and durability, reliability and all around cooking performance that many competitors don’t even come close. I’m currently in the process of purchasing a new one since I gave my weber to someone that needed one and was still in excellent condition. But this Napoleon grills keep popping up every time I start looking on the web, and after watching this video, I think i’m going get a Napoleon grill.
I have a Napoleon grill and it is bar none the best grill I've ever had. It's a little more expensive, but the customer service and warranty on Napoleon products is outstanding. You can't go wrong!
We just picked up a Prestige 500 RSIB today and looked at the Phantom Prestige 500 RSIB. Really liked the matte black and the multi-function shelf but couldn't justify the $500 price difference. The Phantom has the multi-function shelf and cast stainless grates where the Prestige 500 has a regular warming shelf and stainless steel grates, except on the side burner which is cast. Got it assembled this evening and picked up a bunch of steaks at the butcher shop. Can't wait to cookout tomorrow! Love the video showing the variety of things to cook, had never considered pizza but am definitely doing that this week.
Usually I love Steve's videos, but I've gotta say: Does nobody else here find it a bit strange that he uploaded a 9 minute long advertisement with no real content?
BTW that infrared grate should be moved up into the other holes for the steak and raises it about an inch. The lower is for boiling water according to the salesman as I just bought one.
Cool grill, glad you got the sponsor, but I’d rather watch a serious review (pros/cons) or a “normal” cooking video using this grill, where I learn something about cooking. I watched the whole thing because I love your stuff, but it feels like I just watched a long ad.
@@arunramachandran5012 there is also a big difference in the amount of income you make from a 1 min ad vs a 10 min ad. If you don't like it just move onto the next video :)
@@daviddman I moved on several months ago when i first posted my reply. I honestly don't understand replies like yours. You're basically saying don't post a reply that is anything but glowing positive. That too on a video that was basically a 10 minute infomercial disguised as an actual product review. The point is not about the creator of the video making money or not. Nobody is begrudging them their ad sales money. The point is about the quality of the video itself. Most people would be happy to watch a sponsored video if it also gave enough value to them. That's what differentiates a good product review video from an infomerical shill. You can take this as constructive feedback that it was meant to be. Or as criticism. But getting overly sensitive about constructive feedback is silly.
Receive my Napoleon phantom a few days ago. It is a beast those greats oh my god they are so thick solid cast stainless steel. The BTUs this thing cranks out it’s an amazing grill probably the best one on the market today. I did more or less the same thing you just did chicken legs thick steak and some corn on the cob. I smoked the chicken with a smoke box that Napoleon makes easy Peezy.
I really love this grill man. I have the privilage to set it up for my job. Great video! One thing: when assembling any grill or BBQ in the future, please put the cardboard box, folded flat, underneath it. This way you won't scratch anything
This is an awesome grill. I wanted to buy it but the price point was a little higher than I wanted to spend. I ended up with the Phantom Rogue 425 instead. about $700 cheaper. The cast stainless steel grates and small size change from 3 burner to 4 in the Phantom is why the cost bumps up. Either way both good grills, but if you have the money go with the Prestige (its just a great all around grill).
I found my Napoleon Grill before I found your channel. Both are winners... if mine ever wears out (been five years of amazing BBQ, with sear station and rotisserie, still going strong) I will look at the Phantom, because they had the good sense to get on board with your show. Love your tastes and style... 👌🏻
Nice grill, one tip though, Make sure when you get ready to cook that you open the lid to your grill before you turn on the gas, so no fumes can build up inside the grill
Gunna have to go with Webber, for that price point. Single poor cast aluminum body screams longgevity. compared to the friction riveted body of the napoleon, which seems to be 18ga or 22ga SS. The napoleon I would think only lasting 5-6 years( I grill/smoke 3-5 times a week). The Webber looks to be built in a way to be the last grill you buy, considering the solid one-piece cast aluminum body. But this grill does look pretty and has a lot of bells and whistles. Also, those SS Grates look fantastic, although the preheat on them must take a min or two.
@@billmahan6373 I got the stainless and I can tell you it scratches unless you're careful. The performance is absolutely top shelf, I couldn't be happier with it. The sizzle zone has just taken the steaks to a new level. I also got the basket for the rotisserie and it cooks wings like a champ!
awesome vid! and really glad to see you get some sponsors! but i must say this , my $150 pro char-griller from walmart is my go to! as you stated gas just doesnt have the power, nor that flavor! keep making these outstanding vids brother! you are an inspiration to all of us!
Hi, good choice with the grill, and in fact it would be the only gas grill for me that I would buy just like you have .. but it’s very expensive xD .. I think .. anyway I stick with my monolith and Also with my Fire plate best regards from Germany
Oh, thanks for sharing. How is cleanup of the grill I have the stainless steel prestige version of this grill and I think stainless steel just scratches way too easy no matter how careful you are with it me and my wife are fanatics about keeping our grill as clean and new as possible how is it holding up? Thanks
What you should get is a fiberglass Gas bottle where you can see the level of fuel you have and less weight and you own. I saw it on Science Channel episode, How it's Made.
Guys relax..he gave us a lot..so stop with all the sponsor comments..no doubt he brought this bbq to our attention. And sponsor is happy but its up to u in the end..so please dont bash someone for doing thier job.
Gratz on landing the sponsor but if I'm being honest man, I don't really like this video. I like you, and your unique take on what food is inspiring you at any given time. I get you need to make that paper but I just wanted to let you know how I felt about this vid.
Maybe next recipe , ratatouille ?? I’ve been following some of your recipes for quite a while and I’m really interested how would you cook this dish , thanks again for your awesome cooking and content 🙏🤙.
I’ve got the 425 Series, natural fast, but it came with stainless steel grid, unlike your a cast iron, stainless steel grid for both the grill and side. Ur er, would these fit on this model? Where do you get them?
"the ONLY GAS GRILL i allow in my yard, is a sponsored one"
And that's how it should be 🤣
You know you want this grill!!
Isn't it in your parents yard?
Well, time to lube up I guess 🥲
Lol, it really is a nice grill though with a lifetime warranty I see .....
"The only gas grill I'll allow" "includes paid promotion"
He only allows freebies!
Morals and ethics are sold separately
$1600?! No thanks...love that u got them to sponsor though, you’re killin it!
I came here to say literally the same thing. LOL
Because it’s Black you will need a big cover for that grill as well. Reminds me of a Ducane Grill I bought 20 years ago that’s still going strong.
It’s a proper price for a high quality and multifunctional grill
@@JohnHausser 100%! Just super out of my budget. I’m thrilled that he got one for free though. Massive score.
That crooked RUclips plaque annoys me
I imagine how Napolen enters Moscow on September 14, 1812 and all he can think of is:
*"ONE DAY A GRILL WILL BE NAMED AFTER ME"*
Forget world domination, having a grill named after you is much better.
@@marcelbernardo3302 Of course comrade!
Fun fact: The war of 1812 started in 1801.
Worth watching for the tip on using the rotisserie burner for Pizza! Thanks
This was just one long ad..... come on man you're better than that
That stake need more cooking.its raw
“The only gas grill I keep in my yard........now that they’ve paid me to make an ad about it......”
No way a sponsored grill the only gas grill allowed in your yard. Shocking

Had a Napoleon, it rusted out in less than 18 months, dealing with them was impossible. I gave it away and went back to a Weber
Hard to beat service and parts availability on a Weber.
Weber all the way!
Weber gas grills and Weber kettles are the only grills I use!! Weber FTW every time.
My new Weber grill is really flimsy and cheap feeling. Did they used to be more solid?
@@billmahan6373 tried until I was exhausted …. they can tout all they want what they do and did failed. I’ll stick with Weber
I have a Napoleon grill and it is bar none the best grill I've ever had. It's a little more expensive, but the customer service and warranty on Napoleon products is outstanding. You can't go wrong!
Gas grill? 😂😂😂😂 just cook inside while you’re at it. CHARCOAL GANG
Facts, Charcoal is where it’s at. Charcoal Gang
It’s pretty funny that your “sponsor” made you assemble their gas grill for three hours.
same PLUS this a $1600 grill like.... hell naw

That's because it IS a long ad.
The dude has bills to pay just like all of us lol, the ad is a small price to pay for all his otherwise free content.

How do you like the cast stainless grates? How's the grill I'm general holding up.
Does that mean we’re gonna get some incredible steak videos ? I’m beyond ready
A good grill is a must. Thanks for sharing
Ya dawg my 2004 Napoleon still going strong great grills!
I had a char griller double with a smoke chamber on one side. Gas side, charcoal side. Smoked like a dream. Gas side rusted out after about 6 years
I really love this grill man. I have the privilage to set it up for my job. Great video!
One thing: when assembling any grill or BBQ in the future, please put the cardboard box, folded flat, underneath it. This way you won't scratch anything
Real nice looking grill. After a lifetime of using gas I just converted to charcoal (Masterbuilt 560) and I’m glad I did. Such a difference.

i'd pay an extra $100 to not have the stupid lights
🤣
I cant wait to buy the 425 RSIB. Thank you for the video was really good showing the potential of the bbq
the 2 shelves for the 525 SE can be lowered for storage

Grill sounds great, unfortunately can not buy, what good is that. Great video, love your cooking channel.
I was gonna buy a gas grill. Then I got a news article that one exploded and luckily the guy had walked away. That ended that for me. 😂
That pizza...I'm sold. Wish I could afford my own apartment here in CA so I could have one of these, but nah.
Gunna run out of propane in like 2 days lol
Great grill to take to the park . I prefer pellets or charcoal. But I wanted this grill to start up quick and start cooking fast.
Happy that deserving people are getting sponsorships. Great going.
Looks like a BEAST! Also, matte black, so.....
One big advert. Good on ya, dude
I ordered this 2 weeks ago and I was told delivery in July. I’m freaking DYING to fire this up!
Same
Got my napoleon prestige 500 last summer. Ive owned plenty of gas grills over my lifetime and this one absolutely destroys them.
@@billmahan6373 I got the stainless and I can tell you it scratches unless you're careful. The performance is absolutely top shelf, I couldn't be happier with it. The sizzle zone has just taken the steaks to a new level. I also got the basket for the rotisserie and it cooks wings like a champ!
Hi, good advertorial!
How does the new style rear IR burner compare to the traditional ceramic IR burners.
I have a Blackstone and LOVE it!
Napoleon says to remove that custom warming rack when you are using the rear IR!
1600$.?? Hells NO.
awesome vid! and really glad to see you get some sponsors! but i must say this , my $150 pro char-griller from walmart is my go to! as you stated gas just doesnt have the power, nor that flavor! keep making these outstanding vids brother! you are an inspiration to all of us!
The chicken leg holder is admittedly very cool.
Hi, good choice with the grill, and in fact it would be the only gas grill for me that I would buy just like you have .. but it’s very expensive xD .. I think .. anyway I stick with my monolith and Also with my Fire plate best regards from Germany
When it comes to bbqs the heavier the better.
1:46 just a quick lil face flash
Great influencing
Starting the vid off with an opening shot of that cake 👀 he really did that, huh? Love it
That's a gorgeous grill. Love the heavy grates. With that level of power, you could seriously cook on that thing.
Great if you get it for free. But...I’ll stick with my Weber.
Oh, thanks for sharing. How is cleanup of the grill I have the stainless steel prestige version of this grill and I think stainless steel just scratches way too easy no matter how careful you are with it me and my wife are fanatics about keeping our grill as clean and new as possible how is it holding up? Thanks
I don't understand the obsession BBQing a pizza
My man really did mise en place for building his grill
Nice paid commercial
How is cleaning the grates? Tips?
Yeah hanging the chicken legs like that is just a gimmick and more of a hassle.
Well, when you get it for FREE, I'm sure you're obligated to say it's the best. I hate stuff like this. :/
What you should get is a fiberglass Gas bottle where you can see the level of fuel you have and less weight and you own. I saw it on Science Channel episode, How it's Made.

Congratulations on your grill
So jelouse I want one so bad!!!
How much stuff is called phantom is this world. Lmao
Great commercial!
Sick grill

Dang we have RGB and office wheels. I'm sure those will last long term.
What is RGB ?
And I too was surprised that the wheels look so fragile.
@@1tinac red green and blue lighting like you see in computer setups
I would love a great grill like this!
Best part about this video, is you're kicking the Chuck All Stars 👍
I love your video's dude. They inspire me a lot. Keep it up :)
That is some serious assembly, it looks like it is all boxed up and labeled so thats a plus. That is a sexy bbq for sure...
Maybe next recipe , ratatouille ?? I’ve been following some of your recipes for quite a while and I’m really interested how would you cook this dish , thanks again for your awesome cooking and content 🙏🤙.
Nice vid. Suggest a nice nut driver set for your cordless drill next time. That wrenching was painful to watch.
I will like to hear about conditions at end of summer.
Tip. Don't treat ur audience like they don't know what ur doing....we do. This is ur one chance.
80,000 BTU’s? Thanks Kramer
So cute;) I’m gonna try grilling
OMG! That steak and that pizza!!! Swoon!
Shame.
What ever happened to the Rocco box ? What ever happened to Rocco box ?
bbq season?!?!? it is always bbq season!!
Amen to that! I live in Northeast Ohio and as far as I'm concerned it's always shorts season too. LOL
That's not a grill it's a out door stove
ill never get a gas grill again for two reasons;
1. clean up and maintenance
2. gas flavored meat
Cool!!!! Do a Greek rotisserie chicken with Greek potatoes. Side veg.....
What was missing here is the cleanup. How hard/easy is that, on this grill?
Lookit this guy, compromising his core beliefs to cook food with heat!
First thing I noticed were the cheap plastic office chair wheels...Won't last in concrete...
What ever happened to the Rocco box ?
The manual says ”don’t use the main burners at the same time as the back burners”. When you made the pizza you used both. Any problems?
You’re supposed to season the grates
why there is a big gap between the cabinet door?
It comes in matte black *fuhgetabadit*
