  11. Bought a Weber Spirit E210 almost 3 years ago and the thing is just rotting and rusting out all over the place my porcelain flavor bars rusted right in half, I noticed it not even two year in but figured its WEBER I get 10 year warranty….. Ah no I don't 2 years on the porcelain flavor bars and the base is going as well. When Weber told me I had no warranty on the bars I figured forget it! I'm going to dump this pile and get a real BBQ. Looks like The Napoleon brand for me now.

  16. Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster – especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part – the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part – if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.

  17. Hi, in the UK we can get the Freestyle 365 with the infrared side burner for £555. We can also get the Rogue XT425 with infrared side burner for £900. Do you think its still worth paying the extra to get the Rogue?

  18. Just got this one today exact same one 3 burner still in the box gonna build it tomorrow.
    Nice review , I was on a budget but looking for quality. I had the option to get one that was 200$ cheaper but quality was CHEAP. I'll try to keep my new BBQ for minimum 10 years 🙏🏼 thanks for the review. Haha I watched this after purchasing it 😂

  19. Agree….! One handed start up is great – and especially the feature if one burner blows out it will reignite… That is very helpfull if you have a terrace thats windy most of the time and wanna slowcook something. Good review!

  21. I love the size and that both side trays fold away. What other options are there for the size and practicality (apart from the Weber you already compared with)? Or maybe a better question… What are the better options that the free style 365?

  38. I'm sold. I've never actually purchased a grille. I've been gifted a few of them over the years. I live less than two miles from the Barrie Ont. Napoleon facility. This will be going on my deck when the snow stops falling. Great no bull review, and I like the one hand starting feature.

  39. I have the Freestyle 425 with a side burner (basic one, not the sizzle), my dad has the Rogue 525 with the sizzle zone, this is because of him if I bought a Napoleon. Both grills come from the european catalogue, maybe there are differences vs US catalogue as you said in the video.
    To be honnest the quality of the Freestyle is really good for the price, compare to the Rogue there isn't a big gap! Maybe for someone who is going to cook every day then yes after 10years we'll see the difference, but that's all.

    I prefer the Freestyle because of:
    Two big wheels, you can easily move the grill in the grass compare to the Rogue, really appreciated when you're young and still not equipped with a beautiful wooden deck…
    Price, 720€ vs 1190€ (Rogue similar version), both are at the fair price but the Freestyle is extremely similar in performances.
    No doors, this isn't the best look but on a unflat ground the Rogue's doors are not well aligned and you can damaged the coating when using doors in such case, just no problem with the Freestyle.

    What I would have liked:
    Same power than the Rogue on the main grill (13,6kW vs 16,6kW) even if due to the aluminum case the power is enought.
    A back panel, but cost reduction…
    The main grill surface is slightly smaller on the Freestyle, this isn't mentionned everywhere, the Rogue is more appropriate when all your friends are here!

    I guess that's all, hope it'll be usefull for people who hesitate between both. Rendez-vous in 10 years in order to compare the robustness of each! A french guy with Napoleon at home, cocorico… oh no that one comes from Canada.

  40. I bought this one last fall. I put it together but haven't been able to use it yet as there is a whole ton of snow on my yard. I can't wait for spring and I want to use it with the charcoal tray on it. Can you review that on the freestyle? Great video!

  41. when I first heard about "jetfire"ignition system, person explaining it to me, didn't really understand "why" it is so excellent, so At first I was positive jetfire is a marketing bullshit. But You are actually touching the essence – it is very, very CONVENIENT and fast! I don't know how about You guys but I always have something in my hand while igniting the grill 🙂 it is helpful.

  45. Hi guys, I've been following you from Italy for years now.
    You, in addition to being professionals, amuse me a lot for your sympathy, your humorous/hilarious!
    I am a BBQ lover, I have always had charcoal barbecues.
    but now for various reasons I have to switch to a gas one and I am undecided between:
    Napoleon freestyle
    Weber Q 3200
    Weber Spirit II E-210 GBS 
    what do you recommend and why?
