Napoleon LEX605RSBIPSS Propane Gas Grill
The good, I was hesitant to switch from Weber…but the reviews all around were very positive and the grill had features that I was looking for in a high end grill.
The grill cooks very evenly and I have had the best results I have ever had with a gas grill, out preforms my pervious Weber for cooking in many ways. The sear station and rotisserie are excellent features. If you are getting this grill go for the Pro Rotisserie, you will not regret it!
The bad, for a high end grill I have a few issues. The plastic handles on the compartment doors below are very cheap and I never expected plastic handles. Even less costly grills do not have plastic handles. Come on Napoleonian, you want o be a high grill manufacturer step up and get game on this one.
The handle on the cover gets EXTREMELY hot when you grill with the cover down. I have NEVER experienced this on a grill before. I would suggest you use pot holders or a towel when opening and closing the grill to avoid being burned.
GREASE: The grill gets a grease ring around where the cover closes and is visible even when the cover is closed. My Weber NEVER had any issues with grease from cooking dripping down on the stainless steel making it extremely difficult to remove and clean. The grease also shows up around the sides of the cover as well. And drips down the outside of the unit as well. I am not sure if this is a design issue or net but it is a real pain to clean up after.
Happy with the grill, if I had to do it over again knowing what I know now, I am not sure I would have purchased the grill despite the fact that it does a great job of cooking. At the same price there are several Weber grills that may offer a better choice.
