Why Phantoms Are My Dream BBQs

I love Napoleon Phantom BBQs. Seriously, these BBQs are truly exceptional!

And I'm not exaggerating. They look great, they're hot and they're real beautiful machines. So you can understand why I love them so much, I thought I'd tell you a little more about them. 😜

What do Phantoms have that no other BBQ has?

The first thing you notice is their unique "look". They are all, all, all black. Matte black, even! Aside from that, the Prestige and Rogue models come with the Napoleon cooking rack . It's really "hot", because you can cook a lot of things with it: chicken drumsticks, salmon, peppers, steaks... In addition, not only does the Prestige have a stainless steel cooking rack, it also has large cast iron grills. Cast iron grills store heat to transmit it to the meat, but since they are made of stainless steel, they will never rust and are practically indestructible! Moreover, these grills are heavy, which demonstrates the quality of the product. It's really the best of both worlds, because they offer all the power of cast iron and the durability of stainless steel. And… yes its main grates are like that, but so is the grate above its infrared side burner!

In the case of the Rogue, in addition to the cooking rack, it comes with stainless steel grates. I'm talking about the main grates AND the side grate.

The portable model, the TravelQ , has a removable stainless steel warming rack and even comes with its all-black folding cart. This BBQ is fun, efficient, and always looks good.

Why the Phantoms are “worth it”

As I mentioned earlier, their matte black appearance is really slick. Just by looking at it, you know that even if it doesn't have any stainless steel colored parts, people will definitely check it out, even if they don't shine as much. 😏 On top of that, not everyone is going to spend hundreds of dollars to get the stainless steel cast iron grills. They come with the BBQ (only the Prestige, though). And, honestly, these grills are also hot for searing multiple steaks at the same time as for cooking anything else, so they're worth it. Along the same lines, the cooking rack is also included, as standard, with the BBQ. Already, there, you have good reasons to order one.

That's not all! The Phantoms are also limited edition! I don't know if Napoleon will still make them, but I don't expect them to make many. So owning a Phantom is like having a "rare" BBQ.

Telling you that you will have a collector's item in your yard, I believe that this is also another thing that could tip your scales towards a Phantom rather than another BBQ. I say that, but it is a very good argument to consider. 😉

What I prefer

The power of the grills makes me trip. I am a fan of infrared at the base, but here, they are made of CAST stainless steel (in the case of the Prestige), so it is even more "hot". My steaks, for example, are even better caramelized when they cook on these grills.

I also love that the baking rack is included, because I'm someone who likes to have as many options as possible when cooking.

Speaking of which, I'm also a person who likes to keep things "as is". So I'm glad everything is included as is inside.

Lately, I say it again, but I find the Phantoms really beautiful. (At BBQ Québec, we like “black on black”. 👌)

Who are the Phantoms for?

Anyone can use a Phantom. There is nothing overly "techy" about it. In fact, they are so user-friendly that a Phantom could be your very first BBQ without any problem!

A must have with a Phantom

To protect the color of your Phantom, purchasing a cover to protect it is essential. (You don't want it to fade over time!) So don't forget to protect it well once it is installed in your yard.

Now that all that is said, I'll leave you... I'll be getting ready to see you in store in a few seconds. 😜

Happy BBQ!
