What’s in the 500 Prestige PRO
From decking out an outdoor kitchen to setting up the grill poolside, the Napoleon 500 Prestige PRO Series lets you do it all with built-in and freestanding grills, both available in propane and natural gas fuel options. While built-in Prestige PRO 500 models don’t come with an infrared side burner, integrated ice bucket, or cart shelf under the grill head for storing a propane tank like the freestanding models, the silhouette shines exceptionally well in grill islands.
In technical terms, the 17-¾ x 28 inch grill surface means enough room to cook up to 31 burgers simultaneously. Napoleon offers even more flexibility on freestanding Prestige PRO grills featuring an extra infrared burner, plus amenities like a built-in bucket (grilling is serious work!), and handy storage beneath the grill head that attractively conceals a propane tank. All in all, an assortment of amenities is what sets these grills apart from the competition.

Atmosphere and entertainment aren’t the only great things about cooking on a grill. In the case of the Prestige PRO 500, that means cooking with 66,000 BTUs of heat on customizable built-in models and even more on freestanding grills with 80,000-BTU output. In other words, proteins and veggies sear nearly instantly with better caramelization and more flavor overall. Enjoy even more power with an Infrared Sizzle Zone side burner with 1800 degrees of heat that helps retain up to 35 percent more juices for succulent results.
And since Napoleon is a master at the art of grilling, all this grill power is backed by innovation that improves the performance. Notably, a trademark WAVE grill design helps distribute heat better, while the easy maneuverability of a roll-top lid serves dual purpose with a design that circulates that output like a convection oven.
Features
Every time the Prestige PRO 500 is lit, the power and function of over 20 years of engineering are instantly at your fingertips. Make sure to go over to the chart above to see which model carries any one of these standout features.
- WAVE Cooking Grids: Made of stainless-steel material, these grates feature a wave design that maximizes heat dispersal, while also keeping foods from falling through.
- Exclusive Proximity Lighting: Just because the sun goes down doesn’t mean the party is over. The Proximity Light instantly activates when a griller is near, providing task lighting to grill even in the dark.
- NIGHT LIGHT Knobs: Choose from a virtually infinite number of color options to match the mood of your get-togethers with LED lighting available in a spectrum of customizable accent colors. These knobs also glow a soft red as a safety reminder when the gas is left on.
- Two-stage Side Burner: Available on freestanding models, this burner uses dual heat with infrared and a flame, and with a concave design, it accommodates a variety of cookware — even wok frying!
- JETFIRE Ignition: The party starts instantly with this instant ignition technology that sparks the first time and automatically re-ignites if the flame goes out.
- SIZZLE ZONE Infrared Burner: All it takes is 30 seconds to have an ultra-hot 1,800-degree burner for supreme sears.
- Grill Lights: Cravings hit at any hour, which is why the built-in grill lights on this series are there to help satisfy those cravings no matter the hour.
