The Bottom Line

This well constructed 304 stainless steel portable gas grill from Napoleon isn't very creative in design but works great. The single bar burner puts out 14,000 BTUs (and burns through fuel pretty quickly) which gives the 215 square inches of primary cooking space plenty of heat. Primary cooking area? Yes, this is one portable with a fold up warming rack giving you a little extra space and versatility in your cooking. Of course you pay for this quality and versatility. At nearly $300USD this isn't the cheapest portable gas grill.

Guide Review - Napoleon Prestige II Freestyle Portable Gas Grill

Napoleon is known for making good quality gas grills and this stainless steel portable gas grill is no exception. Solidly constructed of 304 stainless steel this single burner portable is build to last. The 14,000 BTU burner is more than enough to heat the 215 square inches of primary cooking space. This portable stands out as having an additional 105 square inches of warming rack space. Few portable grills have warming racks and this one can be folded out of the way when you don't need it.

The lid on this portable closes down tightly, keeping the wind out of the grill so that you can cook in some pretty difficult weather. This is a definite plus. The lid locks in place and the cooking chamber is big enough to hold most of the things you need to bring along. In addition the legs fold up making this 35 pound grill about as small as possible while still giving you a lot of cooking options. This is definitely a portable gas grill to consider, if you can afford the nearly $300 price tag.

Optional mounting systems include a boat rail mounting, trailer hitch mounting, patio rail mounting and pedestal mount. This same grill is also available with an infrared burner for about $80 more (around $370USD). It can also be converted to operate on a standard 20-pound propane tank.
