Napoleon Built-In 700 Series grill is constructed with grade 304 Stainless steel and seamless construction.
304 Stainless steel has a high nickel content, which resists rust and is often used in higher-end outdoor grills and cabinets.
We noted that Napoleon’s grill and built-in door and drawers do not incorporate welds in their construction, but instead have a seamless construction.
Buyers Tip:
When purchasing outdoor appliances be wary of welded seam construction which can rust due to heat and contaminants compromising the steel joint.
Potential buyers will want to be aware of this as it will extend the life of your backyard investment.
Napoleon 700 Series | Wave Pattern Cooking Grids
Napoleon is known for their iconic “Wave Pattern” cooking grids.
This 32" grill comes with 3 (two small and one large) aesthetically pleasing grids and leaves a wave sear pattern on food.
The smaller side grids weigh 7 pounds each while the large grid weighs in at 9.7 pounds.
We noted that the grids are thick, heavy, and made from stainless steel. Measuring just under 3/8", the wave grids are a solid cooking surface.
The benefits of thick grids are that they will not warp like thinner grids.
They also retain heat longer which will make for more even cooking temperatures.
Lastly, the grids are spaced 5/16" apart, which is key for keeping small pieces of food from falling through.
Napoleon 700 Series | Commercial-Grade Rotisserie
The Napoleon Built-In 700 Series grill includes a commercial-grade rotisserie kit designed to fit the grill.
Rotisserie cooking is excellent for cooking larger items like a chicken.
The spinning action of the rotisserie helps food stay moist by retaining juices.
The rotating action on a rotisserie also provides a more even cooking temperature.
Buyers Tip:
If you are purchasing a grill that does not include a rotisserie kit, you will incur an additional cost of $100-200, and need to ensure that it’s designed to fit your grill.
Napoleon has included a commercial-grade rotisserie kit as a bonus to this grill package.
Note – To use this rotisserie feature, users need to remove the upper cooking grate, which allows a spit rod to spin on the two rollers.
We noted that the rollers are well-made, durable, and an important part of any rotisserie system.
When not in use, the upper cooking grate sits firmly in between the rollers.
The rotisserie spit rod and components are stored under the grill in an easily accessible pull-out tray.
Having a specific place in the grill to store these rotisserie parts is a nice design element for this grill.
Napoleon 700 Series | Infrared Rear Burner
The Napoleon Built-In 700 Series grill features an infrared rear burner for rotisserie cooking.
The rear burner is lit by an electric ignition and the ignition button is accessed via a small button on the left side of the grill. Infrared cooking allows for more consistent cooking temperatures.
It accomplishes this by an indirect flame, which heats a stainless-steel grate, allowing heat to radiate toward the rotisserie, rather than by direct flame.
Dual-level Sear Plates | Reduced Grease
The Napoleon Built-In 700 Series grill features dual-level stainless steel sear plates.
What does this mean?
As you can see in the photographs below there is a top layer and a lower level of sear plates.
Depending on the temperature you are grilling at these sear plates will catch and vaporize most of the food drippings reducing grease from hitting your burners which will extend burner life.
We found the dual sear plates did reduce the amount of grease that made it to the drip pan.
The drip pan is located behind the rotisserie storage pull-out tray.
With a built-in grill, the drip pan is an important part of protecting the propane and electrical components below.
We noted that the built-in drip pan spanned the entire length of the grill and was easily pulled out for cleaning.
Jet flame ignition
The Napoleon Built-In 700 Series grill features a jet flame ignition.
A jet flame ignition occurs when propane is channeled out of a strategically placed orifice with a manual ignitor mounted directly above the gas grates.
The gas flows out of this orifice and is ignited automatically when you turn any burner knob, sending a consistent flame along the entire length of the burner.
Buyers Tip:
We feel that a jet flame ignition is a better, more consistent, and reliable ignition source for lighting grill burners and is something you should consider when researching your grill.
