Napoleon Reliability in a Built-in Grill
Napoleon’s Built-in 500 Series Natural Gas Grill is designed to install seamlessly into your BBQ island. Made with 304 Stainless Steel, the Built-in 500 grill is durable and stylish, laser-focused on performance.
4 Stainless Steel Burners
Burners are the heart of any gas grill. Napoleon’s 16-gauge premium 304 stainless steel burner tubes are reinforced and feature an industry-leading design that provides proven longevity, performance, and efficiency. Complete combustion is the key, and these burners balance fuel and oxygen to generate a clean burn. Dual gas ports on the top and sides of each burner ensure even heating along the burner and produced fewer flare-ups. Instant JETFIRE Ignition
If a grill doesn’t reliably light, it’s not a reliable grill. Napoleon’s Instant JETFIRE ignition lights the first time, every time. The design sends a jet of flame to light each burner individually. You can light your grill with the twist of your writs. Batteries not required! With cross-lighting burners, in the unlikely event that a burner goes out or fails to light, it automatically relights. There’s a cross-light bracket between burners that passes the flame to the unlit burner, assuring safe and reliable grilling.
Dual-Level Stainless Steel Sear Plates
Napoleon’s sear plates help create the kind of BBQ flavor you love. When you grill, the plates are heated. As juices and sauces drip onto the plates, the drippings are vaporized to create smoke and steam that bathes the food in flavor. Additionally, the sear plates are staggered on multi-levels, creating even coverage across the grilling surface. This helps ensure even heating throughout your grill.
7.5mm Stainless Steel Iconic Wave Cooking Grids
Never underestimate the power of heavy-duty stainless steel cooking grids! As you can see, the Wave design is like no other, but it’s not just because they look cool. The wave encourages even heating and provides more surface area, prevents food from falling through, and keeps the grill cleaner. The shape increases the grates’ longevity by allowing for even expansion and contraction, reducing the effect that heat and cold have on the metal.
Napoleon Built-in 500 Natural Gas Grill FAQ
Can I convert the Built-in 500 natural gas grill to propane?
Napoleon grills are gas specific and shouldn’t be modified in any way. Fortunately, we carry the Built-in 500 Propane version!
How big is the Built-in 500 grill?
The Built-in 500 is 33.5-in wide, 27.6-in deep, and 24-in high. It weighs 160 lbs. The main cooking grid is 29.5 x 18 inches, for a main grilling area of 525 square inches. The secondary grilling area totals 261 square inches.
Do I need an insulated grill jacket for the Built-in 500 grill?
The cabinet frame and cabinet MUST be made from non-combustible material! If not, you need to install the grill with the Napoleon Zero Clearance Liner. Note: the item description specifies the 700 Series grill, but Napoleon confirms this liner also works for the Built-in 500.
