Hi Napoleon Grills community! I attended the HPBExpo last week (February 13-15) and Napoleon was there showing off their new charcoal grills. I got to check them out, see the features, and even take some pictures. Check out my thoughts here: https://www.angrybbq.com/new-napoleon-charcoal-grills-at-hpbexpo-24/. I have to say, I came away really impressed with the PRO 22” Cart. Plenty of cooking space and work space with the shelf. Plus those hinged wave grids are perfect for refueling while smoking. Let me know what you think!

Hi all,
it's the end of the season here in the UK and local shops selling grills with a discount so I thought I would finally replace my decade-old super cheap BBQ with something mid-range. So I've got a budget of about £300-£350, though perhaps can go higher (one particular Weber is 550 now)
Based on the research I've done there are basically 2 options:
Weber Master-Touch GBS E-5750 Charcoal Grill 57
Napoleon PRO Charcoal Kettle BBQ 57
Most of my friends around have Weber (some have Kamado Joe III, but that is way above my budget), and that makes Weber really appealing, but at the same time... call it whatever: betting on the underdog, not willing to overpay for the famous brand etc. On the practical side, Napoleon has a cast iron grid, which is, perhaps, better?
I'm seeking genuine advice, not a holy war, please.
With spring just a few months away, I wanted to share my experience with Napoleon BBQ Grills which are a high quality product that competes with Weber grills and are made in Barrie, Ontario. I have owned two Napoleon BBQs and have been impressed with the quality, durability and value in comparison to Weber grills.
You can see from reviews on YouTube that most Napoleon BBQ grill models are high quality and give better bang for buck compared to the competing Weber Model.
Here's a review of the entry level Napoleon Rogue model compared to the Weber Genesis.
