Napoleon Prestige PRO 500 — Description Preview

Napoleon Prestige PRO 500 4-Burner Smart Gas Grill

The Napoleon Prestige PRO 500 is the first grill in its class to put real-time temperature monitoring, cook timers, high-heat alerts, and guided recipe assistance directly on your phone — while you're with your guests, not standing over the grill. WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity through the Napoleon Home App means the grill works for you, not the other way around. Pair that with a 1,800°F SIZZLE ZONE infrared sear burner, a commercial-grade rotisserie kit, and HeatBoost Reflector technology — and this is the most complete freestanding grill Napoleon has ever built.

Most grills demand your full attention. The PRO 500 doesn't. Set your target temperature, walk away, and let the app tell you when to flip, when to rest, and when it's done. Built from 304 stainless steel with a cast aluminum cook body, the PRO 500 is designed for families who grill multiple nights a week and hosts who want exceptional results without babysitting the fire. This is Napoleon's 2026 flagship freestanding grill — and it shows in every detail.

What the Smart Technology Actually Does for You

WiFi + Bluetooth Connectivity

Monitor & Control From Your Phone

Connect the PRO 500 to the Napoleon Home App via WiFi or Bluetooth and monitor your grill temperature in real time, set cook timers, receive high-heat alerts, and access step-by-step recipe guidance — all from your phone. Stop hovering over the grill and start spending that time with the people you're cooking for.

Dual LED Smart Mode Knobs

Safety Glow + App-Synced Intelligence

The illuminated Smart Mode knobs glow as an active safety indicator when burners are on — so there's never any question about what's running. They also sync with the Napoleon Home App, giving you a seamless connection between what's on the grill and what's on your screen. Night grilling is fully covered, inside and out.

1,800°F Infrared Searing

SIZZLE ZONE Side Burner — 16,000 BTU

The infrared SIZZLE ZONE reaches 1,800°F in 30 seconds — the same surface temperature used in commercial steakhouse broilers. That's the heat level needed to instantly caramelize the surface of a steak, lock in juices, and build a deep crust without overcooking the interior. No conventional side burner comes close to this.

HeatBoost Reflector Technology

More Even Heat. Fewer Hot Spots.

Napoleon's precision-engineered HeatBoost Reflectors redirect heat back toward the cooking surface instead of letting it escape. The result is a more consistent temperature from edge to edge — so the steak at the side of the grill cooks the same as the one in the center. Less repositioning. More consistent results.

Rotisserie Ready — Day One

18,000 BTU Rear Infrared Burner + Kit Included

A dedicated 18,000 BTU rear infrared rotisserie burner delivers consistent, even radiant heat across the full width of the cook box. The commercial-grade rotisserie kit — motor, spit rod, and forks — is included at no extra charge. Whole chickens, prime rib, leg of lamb. Set it up, start the app timer, and walk away.

9.5mm Wave Cooking Grates

Napoleon's Signature Sear Profile

At 9.5mm, these stainless steel wave-pattern grates are significantly heavier than standard grill grates — which means more thermal mass, better heat retention, superior sear marks, and less food sticking. The wave profile also reduces food fallthrough without sacrificing airflow to the cooking surface.

PRO 500 vs. PRO 665 Elite — Which Is Right for You?

Both grills share the same Smart Technology platform, 304 stainless steel construction, SIZZLE ZONE infrared sear burner, and HeatBoost Reflector system. The differences come down to size, cooking capacity, and what's included.
