Napoleon Charcoal Kettle Barbecue Diameter 57 cm with Cast Iron Grate and Hinged Lid

GreatCast iron is so much better than steel and feels proper.The different adjustable grill height level is more useful than Webers gourmet system at the similar price and this has certain improvement with temp gauge & wheels.

Better than webber

Great BBQ and excellent customer service. Thank you so much.

I was given this BBQ as a present by my parents. Due to the heatwave, we have already used it 12 times since June. It is absolutely brilliant. The things I love most about it are: the hinged lid means that you never have to worry where to put the big, hot lid of your BBQ when you want to turn your food - and it feels very secure when it's lifted up, there's no wobble; I love the grate - not only because it's cast iron and leaves beautiful char lines (which it absolutely does) but also the wave of the lines means that it's much harder to lose a piece of pepper/asparagus/a sausage down into the coals. It gets really hot and then stays hot - the lid keeps the heat amazingly well. I love the temperature gauge too, meaning that I can tell how hot it is without having to lift the lid at all, and I can also estimate how long I can safely leave my food between turns. The ash collector is helpful too and is very easy to empty. There is a lot of room on the grate, last night we cooked 2 corn cobs, 4 sausage wheels, 8 kebab sticks, 2 peppers sliced into quarters, a pack of asparagus and 2 pitta breads all on the grate together with no overlapping. The only down sides are that the grate is really very, very heavy. If you have weak arms or any kind of disability, you may need a friend to lift that into place, and if you want to cook on the slightly lower level, you then need to rotate it. It's not a real down-side to this BBQ, but it's something to be aware of. It's also, due to the weight, a tiny bit harder to clean, as it is a bit of a hilarious effort, rotating a heavy cast iron grill in the sink, and the wavy lines are a bit more challenging to scrub. But it's important to remember that the weight of the grill also helps it cook so well, so it's more a note to bear in mind rather than a negative. I really do love this BBQ. It's sturdy and looks nice and has done a great job with all our food. Highly recommended.

I've been using this BBQ for nearly a year. I got it from another store that's sends the BBQ 2 U better price. It's sturdy and easy to clean. The grill is heavy, but that's to be expected - being cast iron. My new favourite on the grill is spatchcock chicken. You can control the temperature really well using the vents and by adding small amounts of charcoal as needed. This grill is very flexible, a quick redistribution of the coals and a change in grill height and you can go from cooking a whole chicken to burgers. I love it.
