Grill recommendations

It looks like the Napoleon and the Broil King IR sear side burners can also be used for normal cooking, so I think I’ve narrowed it down to those two. About the same price. Pros and cons for either?

Saw the Broil King Regal today in the flesh. Seems nice, but I thought the doors were a bit flimsy. Trying to see if I can find a Napoleon to look at.

Today I saw some Napoleons. Impressive. I think they have the Broil Kings beat. The Prestige is nice and the Prestige Pro is even nicer. A few more features but the build quality seems even more sturdy than the Prestige. Now I just have to decide if it’s worth the extra coin.

No personal experience with either but massive amounts of time struggling with the same decision. Between the two I think Napoleon is better. Prestige vs Prestige Pro is a tough call. It’s a pretty big premium and some of the additional features I personally probably wouldn’t use.

my Napoleon is 10 years old now and still going strong. I’ve replaced a few parts along the way, but I guess that’s to be expected with any manufacturer. Most parts were easy to get, a few were difficult probably due to Covid. The fact that they still make the same model makes me believe that parts should be available for another 10 years. I would buy this one again

Throwing this out there to hijack the thread :-)

I read through Max's reviews this morning. I have a 15 year old Genesis which is still running great but I'd like to have a bit more in the sear and features (rotisserie) arena to compliment my charcoal grill and smoker.

Bull Grills and Saber definitely got my attention. I am a little concerned (have been for 3-4 years) about buyer's remorse with buying a Summit and then they drop a redesign. I hear great things, but then lots of complaints about water intrusion and rust. I've read Broil King's are hard to keep at a low temp.

Napoleon's look awesome but I read several places that the grates are a MF to clean.

Im in the same boat as OP, looking to upgrade but not sure which way to go.

If you are looking for a gasser Weber is still hard to beat in my opinion.

Pulled the trigger today on a Napoleon Prestige Pro 500 with natural gas! https://www.napoleon.com/en/us/grill...ro500rsibnss-3

Excellent choice. I really like mine. One note of caution: the black stenciled words and symbols on the front of the grill where the burner nobs are will rub off if you use a degreaser to clean that area. Ask me how I know…

[mgaretz]

My new grill arrived yesterday. (Napoleon Prestige Pro 500 natural gas.) Still have to hook up the gas and get it situated. Won't get to cook on it for a couple of weeks when we get moved into the new house.

Congratulations!

Really nice. It would kill me to have to wait to cook on it though. Hang in there!

Looks great!
