Recently, Marc-Antoine Turcotte and I suggested several Weber brand gift ideas to give to the BBQ enthusiasts you know. Today, we are back to give you more, but this time, they are Napoleon brand products, the largest Canadian brand in the BBQ industry.
In fact, they say you can give these products away, but you can also add them to your wishlist. ;) Many of the favorite items we'll be talking about today are great stocking stuffers or are very hot to bring to a gift exchange party. We focused on items that are likely to surprise and really please, because they are items that are (mostly) new or (usually) less highlighted.
Also, know that Napoleon offers incredible guarantees. For BBQs, for example, they often offer 25-year guarantees on major components, then 15 years on other parts, so offering Napoleon is really a great gift.
BBQs
An incredible BBQ with 2 heads, one with 2 infrared burners and a warming burner totaling a 300 sq. in. sear area (an excellent surface for searing steaks!). Like a Prestige 500 , this BBQ has 4 burners, but it also has a drawer in which you can put wood chips to be able to smoke and cook food at the same time. It also comes with a rotisserie, an ice tray and a "power burner", which allows you to cook in a wok or boil corn, for example, if it is turned over on the other side. For a "party" person who likes to entertain and do a lot of business at the same time, this BBQ is really ideal.
This BBQ also comes in a built-in format, but the one on a cart is easily movable and comes with plenty of storage space.
This BBQ could be the only gift you give someone for the next 4 years and they would be really happy all the time, that's for sure. ;)
For its price, this BBQ is unbeatable. It has 4 high-performance 304 stainless steel burners, 304 stainless steel burners, cast iron grills, a cast aluminum tank, a folding shelf on each side... It retains heat very well and is even guaranteed from head to toe for 15 years. An excellent choice!
The Phantom BBQs are part of a series of BBQs that Napoleon released last year. The first feature that you notice about these BBQs is that they are "all black"; the knobs, the wheels... everything is black! Otherwise, just like the regular TravelQ PRO 285 , this BBQ is one of the few to have 2 burners. It is therefore possible to really cook with it because you can have an indirect and direct cooking zone at the same time. It also has cast iron grills and an additional stainless steel grill that can be added or removed from the BBQ.
Also, it's a BBQ that is super retractable and stores really easily. It's perfect for people who live in a condo or who don't have a lot of space in their yard/on their patio or for camping or tailgating enthusiasts!
Accessories
You will see, many grills are included in this list. The reason behind this is that a Napoleon BBQ is already perfect, but in some models, there are original grills that are made of cast iron (these are good grills), but you know as well as I do that the ideal is "stainless" grills. They are easier to maintain and more durable. So, it is better to prevent than to cure. ;)
Not all BBQs have stainless steel grates; some, like the Rogue 425 , come standard with cast iron grates. Cast iron grates require more maintenance and can eventually rust, so they need to be greased or oiled. To "buy peace" and have less maintenance, this grate is perfect. It is durable and you won't "fall through". (It will fit perfectly on your BBQ if you have a Rogue 425!)
Those who have a charcoal BBQ are people who generally like to play with charcoal and fire. This set is therefore a nice "trinket" to offer because the tongs (which are very easy to hold) allow you to easily take and/or place pieces of charcoal or wood inside or outside the BBQ and the poker is long enough to be handled without having to wear gloves.
Made entirely of plastic, this watertight container seals very well, is easy to clean and is truly “all-purpose”. It is perfect for brining ribs, jerky or curing smoked salmon, among other things.
A really, really handy tool for moving the grills of a BBQ. For example, to change the level of the infrared grill, there's nothing better. It's also a must-have if you have a removable grill in your charcoal BBQ, because it will allow you to remove it and add charcoal or wood inside your appliance.
Retractable, this all-stainless steel chimney is very easy to transport and takes up little space. It is very practical to take camping, for example.
This set is really "cool", because its 4 effective tools can be used with any BBQ. You will find a brush to clean the inside of the burners, one for the outside of the burners, a tool also to unclog the holes of the burners and a super strong scraper to scrub the inside of the tank or even the deflectors and the fat drawers and your machine.
Designed to fit on any 22” kettle grill, this round cast iron grill has great heat retention and allows for great grill marks. It also has “doors” that open to add charcoal or wood chunks to the grill while cooking. This affordable grill is truly a game changer for making all kinds of meals.
Included in the Phantom Prestige, this grill is really optimal, because it allows you to maximize the use of the top grill. It was designed to do several things: for example, you can hang chicken drumsticks "upside down", cook fish, small peppers, tomatoes... (The back of the box shows these examples well.) It's really cool, because it gives another perspective to what can be cooked on the BBQ.
It fits in all PRO 500 and Prestige 500 models as well as thePRO 825 .
A stainless steel grill is really a must when cooking on the BBQ, because it is very easy to maintain and it is really more durable than a cast iron grill. And when it comes to the grill above the infrared burner, well it is better that it is stainless steel for all these reasons, but also because in this case, it is the burner that does the big job and not the grill. This one is designed for the Napoleons of the 485, 500 and 665 range.
There is also another grille model that fits the Rogue and Rogue XT 365, 425, 525 and 625.
For fajita fans, this pan is ideal. In fact, instead of using a baking sheet, you can use this and cook, for example, eggs and bacon slices, or sear a steak evenly or, evenly, make a casserole. The handle easily removes and installs on the pan, so it is easy to handle and quick.
This is a mold made to fit in the drip tray of your Prestige 500 BBQ. Instead of cleaning the drawer after each use of the BBQ, just put this in, replace it once in a while and that's it.
Of course, there are also several other interesting Napoleon products, such as the Rotisserie Basket , the knives (there is a PRO Chef's Knife , a Multi-Purpose Knife , a Slicing Knife ... they are all of good quality), the Tongs-Spatula Combo , the brushes (there are several types: with brass bristles [perfect for BBQs with cast iron grills], with "stainless" bristles [ideal for BBQs with "stainless" grills], without bristles, with "coconut" bristles ...), the Drip Pan, the Ceramic Casserole ...
By the way, I want to inform/remind you that it is now possible to pre-order a Phantom Prestige for 2022. You don't want to miss out on this, it's a beautiful machine! (Plus the Prestige are perfect for winter, because they have a double wall. ;))
