The Napoleon Freestyle Series is the ideal choice for those who want a reliable, compact grill with 3 or 4 burner options, including versions with side burner or infrared burners. This series combines design, technology and performance with a 10 year warranty, ideal for those looking to get started or perfect their barbecue skills.
Ideal for Small Spaces
The Napoleon Freestyle Series has been designed to make the most of limited space, making it a practical and functional option for balconies, patios and small terraces. This compact design allows the barbecues to be conveniently stored in smaller areas without compromising cooking capacity. This makes the Freestyle series barbecues well suited to users who have limited outdoor areas but wish to enjoy a high quality barbecue at home.
In addition, the Freestyle models include space-saving folding side shelves for storage. These shelves are especially useful for times when the barbecue is not in use, allowing the structure to take up less space and be easier to store. The barbecue’s mobility is facilitated by the sturdy 7-inch wheels, which allow it to be easily moved over a variety of surfaces, including uneven terrain.
High Performance Burners for Consistent Cooking
The Freestyle Series is equipped with stainless steel burners designed to deliver consistent power and even heat. This ensures that, regardless of the model, users can quickly reach high temperatures for efficient and precisely controlled cooking. On the 3-burner model, the 12 kW output provides ideal performance for family gatherings and small groups, while the 4-burner model, with 13.6 kW, allows for larger cooking areas to be covered, making it suitable for larger gatherings or grills with larger volumes of food.
The JETFIRE™ ignition system adds value to the user experience by facilitating safe and effortless ignition with a jet flame that quickly lights the burners. In addition, these burners are protected with enamelled flame deflectors that prevent accidental fires and improve heat distribution, ensuring even cooking and enhancing flavour as meat juices evaporate. This system makes the Freestyle Series a reliable and efficient choice, ideal for both amateurs and experienced grillers.
Versatility with Side Burners
The Freestyle Series includes models that offer side burners, adapting to the needs of each user. On the one hand, the Freestyle 365 SB models feature a 3 kW side burner, perfect for preparing sauces, side dishes or even keeping food warm while cooking on the main grill. This option is especially useful for those looking for a complete cooking station in a single unit, allowing greater control and flexibility when preparing multiple dishes at once.
On the other hand, the Freestyle 365 SIB and 425 SIB models feature the advanced Sizzle Zone™ infrared burner, which reaches temperatures of up to 800 °C. This infrared burner is ideal for searing meats, providing a crispy, caramelised crust without losing the juiciness on the inside, an aspect highly valued by those who enjoy perfectly marked cuts of meat. This type of burner also saves considerable time by achieving extremely high temperatures in a short time, providing high quality professional results.
Cast Iron or Stainless Steel Grates in WAVE™ Design
WAVE™ grids are one of Napoleon’s signature elements, and the Freestyle Series is no exception. This wavy design, found on all models, ensures even heat distribution and allows for professional quality food marking. The porcelain enamelled cast iron grates, available on the standard models, retain heat effectively, making them ideal for even cooking and easy cleaning after use. In addition, the enamelling protects the cast iron from oxidation, increasing its durability and making it easy to maintain.
In the Phantom models, the grids are made of 7 mm thick stainless steel, which makes them more resistant and easier to clean. This material is corrosion resistant and withstands constant use without losing its functionality or appearance. Stainless steel grates are also an excellent choice for those looking to minimise cleaning and maintenance time while maintaining excellent heat retention and ease of use. Both grille options ensure that the Freestyle Series can suit both users who value the classic performance of cast iron and those who prefer the durability of stainless steel.
Simplified Maintenance and Efficient Cleaning System
The Napoleon Freestyle Series is designed to make the cleaning and maintenance process as simple as possible, without compromising the efficiency of the equipment. It includes easily accessible, removable grease collection trays, allowing users to remove accumulated residue quickly and effectively after each use. This system helps prevent the risk of accidental fires and avoids the build-up of grease in the equipment, which is essential for a long barbecue life.
In addition to the grease trays, the Freestyle Series features enamelled flame deflectors that reduce residue build-up and optimise heat distribution across the cooking surface. The structure of the barbecues provides easy access to these areas for thorough and efficient cleaning, allowing the equipment to be maintained in optimum condition with little effort. The user manual details regular maintenance recommendations, such as cleaning the burners and treating the grids, which help to preserve the performance and durability of the barbecue.
Sophisticated Design and Matt Black Finish
The Phantom 425 SIB represents the high-end version of the Freestyle Series, standing out for both performance and sophisticated design. With a sleek matte black finish, this model is a luxury piece that adds a touch of style and modernity to any space. The lid and front door, also in matt black, provide a uniform aesthetic, as well as being resistant to fingerprints and smudges, making it easy to clean and visually maintain.
In addition, the Phantom 425 SIB is equipped with the innovative infrared Sizzle Zone™ burner on the side shelf, which allows extremely high temperatures to be reached in a matter of seconds, ideal for searing cuts of meat with professional precision. This model also features 7mm thick stainless steel WAVE™ grates, which offer superior durability and even heat distribution. The satin-finished front door conceals the gas tank, creating a clean and tidy appearance to the appliance. Finally, the built-in ACCU PROBE™ thermometer allows the internal temperature of the barbecue to be accurately monitored, which is essential for controlled and prolonged cooking.
Quality Support
Napoleon offers a 10-year limited warranty on key components of the Freestyle Series, giving users the assurance of reliable, long-lasting equipment. This warranty includes aluminium and stainless steel parts as well as burners, enamelled lids and cast iron grates. For the first five years, the coverage is complete and thereafter Napoleon offers a 50% discount on spare parts until the tenth year, ensuring that users will be able to keep their barbecue in excellent condition for a long time to come.
This warranty coverage is a sign of Napoleon’s commitment to the quality of its products, offering a guarantee that allows users to enjoy their investment with peace of mind. This backing ensures that the Freestyle Series is an ideal choice for both hobbyists and barbecue enthusiasts looking for high durability and performance.
