Napoleon Prestige 500: What to Know

This listing (ASIN B01BMNEW1Q) is the base Prestige 500 propane cart model — what Napoleon's own site lists as the P500PSS-3 — not one of the 'RSIB' variants that add a dedicated infrared rear and side burner. That distinction matters because Napoleon sells several Prestige 500 configurations side by side on Amazon under different ASINs, and the RSIB versions cost more and cook differently at the back burner. We picked the base propane cart model because it's the most directly comparable to the other four grills on this list, all of which are also standard 4-burner configurations without infrared side burners.

According to Napoleon's own spec page for the P500PSS-3, this grill runs four stainless steel tube burners rated at up to 48,000 BTU combined, with 500 square inches of primary stainless cooking grate plus a 260-square-inch warming area, for 760 square inches of total cooking space — noticeably larger than the Weber and Char-Broil grills on this list, and closer to the Broil King Baron 490's total. The listing's own feature bullets confirm the core hardware: stainless WAVE cooking grids (Napoleon's cast, ridged grate design built to leave restaurant-style sear marks), a JETFIRE crossover ignition system that lights each burner individually, soft-touch control knobs, an ACCU-PROBE temperature gauge built into the lid, and a rotisserie kit included in the box.

One honest caveat: because this is the base model rather than the RSIB variant, the included rotisserie kit uses the main burners as its heat source rather than a dedicated infrared rear burner. If a separate rotisserie burner that doesn't compete with your main cooking grates for heat is a priority, look specifically for the RSIB-suffixed Prestige 500 listings — they're a different, pricier ASIN, and we did not verify a currently-live RSIB listing as part of this research.
