Wow wow what a dream! This bbq is sick! This one will be my next!!!
It's a shame it doesn't have vents on the top so you could have the option to smoke
Do you still own this grill?
i cant finde it, is it still available, or out of production?
how is the air control? for instance, if you close the front vent will the charcoal go out like on a weber kettle?
I can see full video of your view.
Epic grill. Has anyone found any videos / reviews with test cooks on this beast? Ive searched everywhere.
Hey i am hoping you make some more videos, they are always well done but i see u havent made any in a while
I have one of these. The best lighting option in my opinion is the Looftlighter, or an equivalent. Especially with the Rotisserie basket. Filling it with Charcoal or a mix of Charcoal and Briquettes, and then lighting it in three spots at the bottom of the basket with the Looftlighter is quick, easy, and a lot safer than pouring hot coals into the top slot. I noticed the comment about the drip tray. Of course, you would only empty that when the coals have gone out. If I grill in the evening, I will do it the next morning. Because we live by the sea, I then wipe some cooking oil on to the trays to prevent rust. Later models have three individual charcoal trays, as the large tray as seen here, is susceptible to warping. It really is a great barbecue, and adding smoke wood works well too. I also use a small Napoleon Pro285 Gas for convenience, eg; Breakfast bacon and eggs, mushroon and tomato!
I am only worried that the drip tray and charcoal tray are not stainless steel, that is the killer for all charcoal grills. Even if you cover and clean your grill it is a matter of time before they rust.
So any videos on this? I want a nice charcoal grill.
. Not sure on this , the PK, or Webber 22 with side wings…. thank you.
PORCELAIN?? No Thanks. Iron cast rules.
Just picked up this same bbq here in Alberta, Canada. How has yours been holding up to use so far?
Steve I currently have a natural gas Napoleon grill which I love. When I cook steaks I do so with charcoal. I checked out this video as I'm interested in buying a grill for charcoal use only. This grill is quite expensive here in Canada at $1,449 Canadian funds plus tax. Is there something I could buy instead of this grill to use on my current gas grill? Thanks for your help and keep up the great work.
I have owned one of these over here in the UK for 3 years now. A superb piece of kit. You can cook anything on it given the amount of control you have over the heat. Fill one bay with charcoal and then cook by radiant heat the other end or with the lid down. The rotisserie is superb too – and huge – almost a metre long – enough for a suckling pig, several chickens or beef joints.
Only one problem – the thermometer has given up the ghost so I buy a cheap s/steel oven one and leave it inside on one of the shelves.
Well isn't that a load of crap… porcelain coated cast iron, that's just what stops me from buying a damn BBQ…..WTF is wrong with plain Jane GOOD OLD SIMPLE CAST IRON FFS. I want to put some oil on it, treat it, and use a damn metal brush to clean my damn grill, NOT plastic. Can't use a good metal scrubber on that girly porcelain crap.
Hi Steve, thanks for that review on this – as it seems – awesome grill! I am so curious for some cooks on this Napoleon Pro605. Did you not post any or did I just not find them? I´d really like to know how this grill behaves when you want to do low and slow jobs like ribs or pulled pork. Have you any Information for me?
what is your go to smoker now? I remember when you started on the WSM. Why is said smoker your go to smoker? if it's not the WSM, what makes the other smokers better? Just curious if it's worth it for me to get another smoker other than my 18.5 wsm. maybe this could be a video? you going over all the smokers you've used so far? love your stuff man. keep it up. Go gators. I used to live of 13th st in the NW part, back when there was still a blockbuster at the corner.
Everything was going good until you showed the ash/grease catcher. If you took that ash catcher out the remaining ash can fall into the storage area. Just thinking about it, who knows what if the coals that felling into the storage bin is still hot…. guess what fire in the bin where you stored the bag full of charcoal and lighting fluid
This is cool. Reminds me of Hasty Bake. Looks like it would last forever.
Steve new sub nice looking grill!
Steve you have an arsenal of grills my friend, how many do you have?
Steve, really hope I didnt come across as an ass, really just wanted to no if coals could be added at any grate level…not calling you out brother,.like what you do..keep up the awesome bbq .sincerly ,Cris
Great looking grill Steve. I would have never guessed it was a charcoal grill. All the features of a gas/infrared grill with the use of charcoal, cool combination.
Steve, nice review. that grill has a lot of good features and looks very well built. the door in front of the bbq with the pull handle has to be for adding charcoal can it be added at any grate height ?? cant wait for you to cook on it especially on the rotisserie.awesome job brother.
I own 2 basic BBQ pro smokers.. I like them, the grates season so well its gonna be hard not to still use it, but this grill is what I'm looking for because of the ability to lower the coals so easily.. I mainly only do pork butts and chuck roast so this grill would be perfect for indirect smoking..
Nice grill Steve and I look forward to some cooks! Big-time name grill.
Awesome Grill Review!
