The Napoleon Freestyle 425 Pack with griddle combines a four-burner gas barbecue and a compatible reversible griddle in a single outdoor cooking station. It is designed for those who enjoy both classic grilling and cooking directly on a cast-iron surface.
The beauty of this pack is that you don’t have to choose between a barbecue and a griddle. You can adapt the cooking surface to suit whatever you’re preparing, switching from meat and vegetables to breakfast dishes, fish, sandwiches or small ingredients, thanks to a much more flexible setup.
What’s more, the reversible griddle is included at no extra cost as part of this promotion, so the set is particularly aimed at those who already know they’ll be using this type of cooking and want to get the most out of their purchase from day one.
Barbecue and griddle in a single pack
The Freestyle 425 retains its cooking area with grills and adds a reversible griddle designed to be compatible with this model. The griddle can be used to replace part of the grill area or placed on top of the grills, depending on the setup required at any given time.
This allows you to set up one area for griddle cooking whilst keeping another for cooking directly on the grills. In a single cooking session, you can, for example, sear meat on the WAVE grills whilst preparing vegetables, eggs or delicate ingredients on the cast-iron surface.
This is precisely where the pack comes into its own: it doesn’t simply add an accessory unrelated to the barbecue, but rather a second way of cooking that expands what you can do with the Freestyle 425.
Porcelain-enamelled cast-iron WAVE grates
The Freestyle 425 features Napoleon’s well-known WAVE grates, made from cast iron with a porcelain coating. This combination promotes efficient heat transfer and provides a surface specifically designed for effective searing.
The wavy shape is not merely an aesthetic detail. It helps create Napoleon’s signature grill marks and provides a suitable cooking surface for meat, burgers, vegetables and other dishes where searing is part of the result.
In this pack, the WAVE grates remain the foundation for classic barbecue cooking, whilst the reversible griddle expands the set’s capabilities when you require a continuous cooking surface.
Reversible griddle, 29.5 × 45.1 cm
The included griddle is made of cast iron with a porcelain coating and offers a cooking surface of 29.5 × 45.1 cm. Its two sides allow you to change the type of contact with the food without needing two separate accessories.
The flat side is designed for griddle-style cooking: it’s handy for fish, vegetables, breakfast dishes, caramelised onions or small items that might be awkward to cook on an open grill. When turned over, the raised side allows you to create sear marks.
This reversibility makes the griddle more than just an additional smooth surface. You can choose which side to use depending on the recipe and switch techniques whilst keeping the same accessory.
Folding side shelves
The two side shelves are foldable – a simple yet very useful solution when the barbecue has to share space with terraces, patios or outdoor cooking areas where every centimetre counts.
With the shelves extended, the Freestyle 425 is 132 cm wide and provides extra worktop space on both sides. When folded away, the width is reduced to 84 cm, making it easier to find space for it once you’ve finished cooking.
This means you can have extra space whilst preparing food without having to permanently deal with the barbecue’s full size.
Closed trolley and reinforced wheels
The lower structure features a closed trolley design, ensuring the Freestyle 425 maintains a compact and tidy appearance in the cooking area. It’s not just a grill on legs: the base forms part of a unit designed for stable outdoor use.
Napoleon has also fitted this model with reinforced all-terrain wheels. This makes it easy to move the barbecue when you need to reposition it on the terrace or reorganise the space before and after cooking.
The combination of an enclosed trolley, folding side panels and wheels is particularly practical if you’re looking for a four-burner barbecue that doesn’t have to stay in the same spot all the time.
Main cooking surface: 60 × 45 cm
The main grill measures 60 × 45 cm, providing enough space to spread out different foods and organise your work areas more effectively during a meal.
This width is even more useful in this set as it allows you to incorporate the griddle as part of the cooking setup. You can dedicate one area to ingredients that benefit from a continuous surface and keep the grill available for the rest.
The result is a more flexible cooking surface: rather than cooking everything using the same method, you can decide which cooking method each food item requires.
Porcelain griddle with fat drainage
The cast iron features a porcelain coating that makes the surface easier to clean and protects the material during regular use.
The griddle also has integrated holes that channel fat away from the food. This is particularly useful when cooking ingredients that release fat or juices, as it helps prevent these from accumulating across the entire work surface.
Thus, the very same piece of equipment that expands your cooking possibilities also incorporates a specific solution to better manage waste during use.
JETFIRE and ACCU-PROBE for heat control
The Freestyle 425 features the JETFIRE ignition system, designed to light the main burners using a jet of flame. It is a straightforward solution for getting the barbecue up and running and starting to use the different cooking zones.
Added to this is the ACCU-PROBE thermometer integrated into the lid, which allows you to check the internal temperature without having to constantly open the barbecue. This is particularly useful when cooking with the lid closed and you want to keep an eye on the heat inside the cooking chamber.
Together, these two systems simplify two key stages of cooking: JETFIRE makes lighting the barbecue easier, whilst ACCU-PROBE helps you monitor the temperature whilst you cook.
