The built-in Napoleon Series 500 BI32 grill combines precision engineering with elegant design. Designed to integrate seamlessly into any outdoor kitchen, it is the perfect starting point for those seeking a robust, reliable, and highly efficient solution for their outdoor spaces.

Its full 304 stainless steel construction and exclusive technologies, such as the JETFIRE™ ignition system or the shot-blasted WAVE™ grates, make this model an excellent investment for high-end residential projects, demanding amateur chefs, and professional settings that require consistency, safety, and style. Boasting a polished aesthetic and weather-resistant materials, it delivers sustained performance without compromising on design.

🔧 Power and Performance: 4 High-Efficiency Burners

The Napoleon Series 500 BI32 features a cooking system based on four stainless steel burners that reach a total output of 16 kW, allowing for rapid achievement of high temperatures and stable heat retention throughout the entire cooking session.

This configuration has been designed to provide uniform heat distribution across the entire grill surface, essential for searing large cuts of meat or cooking multiple foods simultaneously without experiencing temperature fluctuations. The robust combustion system is optimised to run on butane or propane gas at a 30 mbar pressure, ensuring clean, efficient, and controlled burning. The stainless steel burners offer corrosion resistance, resulting in a longer service life for the internal heating system, even in demanding climates or under intensive use.

🍖 Spacious Cooking Surface: Over 3,400 cm² of Usable Space

Designed to meet the needs of large families or sizeable groups, the main cooking area provides a generous space measuring 74.6 by 45.4 centimetres, offering a total of 3,432 cm². This ample area is more than sufficient for cooking entire racks of ribs, whole chickens, or multiple cuts of meat, vegetables, and sides at the same time.

Complementing this main area is a shot-blasted, adjustable stainless steel warming rack measuring 73 by 22.5 centimetres. This secondary rack allows you to keep cooked foods warm without losing texture or flavour, and it can also be used to warm bread or preheat other ingredients before moving them to the main zone. The smart layout of the cooking area enhances the flow of hot air and improves overall temperature control throughout the cooking chamber, enabling multiple cooking techniques with ease.

🌊 Shot-Blasted WAVE™ Stainless Steel Grates: Style and Signature Mark

The grates of the Napoleon Series 500 BI32 built-in grill are designed with an exclusive wave pattern, a hallmark feature of the brand known as WAVE™. Made of shot-blasted stainless steel with a thickness of 7.5 millimetres, these grates not only ensure exceptional durability but also optimise heat transfer to the food, creating attractive searing marks ideal for a professional presentation.

The wave shape is not just for show: it is intended to distribute heat more effectively and prevent small foods from falling below, reducing waste and making cooking safer. The shot-blasted surface improves wear resistance, facilitates cleaning, and requires minimal maintenance, allowing users to focus more on the grilling experience and less on post-cooking tasks.

⚡ Immediate Ignition with JETFIRE™ Technology

Ignition is carried out via the JETFIRE™ system, a Napoleon-exclusive technology that uses a directed pilot flame to safely and quickly light each of the main burners. When the ignition button is pressed, a nozzle produces an intense secondary flame that ignites the burner gas, ensuring a reliable start from the very first attempt.

This solution eliminates the annoying, repetitive clicking that often characterises standard piezoelectric ignitions. The system is designed to provide safety on each use, even in damp or windy conditions, offering extra peace of mind for the user. Thanks to this innovation, the grill is always ready to start cooking without delay and the need for external items like matches or lighters.

🛠️ Integrated Design for Professional Installation

One of the biggest advantages of the Napoleon Series 500 BI32 is its built-in design with a perimeter flange. This feature allows for a clean, custom fit into countertops, cabinets, or outdoor kitchen islands, achieving a seamless finish without visual interruptions. The perfect integration of this grill with other kitchen modules not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also adds functionality by reducing dead spaces or areas that are difficult to clean.

This design is intended for high-end outdoor kitchens, where customisation and visual order are just as important as performance. Napoleon developed this model with outdoor design professionals, architects, and demanding users in mind, who value both functionality and harmony in the setting where the equipment is installed.

🌡️ Precise Temperature Control with ACCU PROBE™ Thermometer

Temperature control is crucial in any cooking process, and for this reason, this grill includes the ACCU PROBE™ thermometer mounted on the lid. Featuring a modern carbon-style design, this device offers an accurate reading of the internal temperature, covering a range from 40 to 370 degrees Celsius.

Thanks to this tool, users can carry out specific cooking methods such as smoking, high-temperature searing, or indirect cooking without relying on external instruments. The thermometer is strategically placed for visibility even when the lid is partially open, and its analogue design provides immediate and reliable readings without depending on electronic components that may fail over time.

🛡️ Two-Level Heat Shield Plates for Homogeneous Heat Distribution

The interior of the cooking chamber features a thermal distribution system consisting of stainless steel protective plates arranged in two levels. This internal architecture is designed to prevent the common hot spots or areas with uneven heat, improving the overall cooking experience. The plates are located both directly above each burner and between the gaps, forming an ascending structure from the rear to the front that channels heat progressively.

This design promotes a more stable and uniform cook across the entire grill, regardless of the number of burners in use. Moreover, the plates protect the burners from dripping grease, extending their life by minimising direct exposure to residues.

🧱 304 Stainless Steel Construction: Durability Guaranteed

The entire Napoleon BI32 structure is constructed from 304 stainless steel, a high-end alloy renowned for its superior resistance to corrosion, heat, and extreme outdoor conditions. This material not only guarantees a prolonged service life but also makes everyday cleaning easier and provides a consistently impeccable appearance.

The lid, with a double-wall design, incorporates the LIFT EASE™ system for smooth opening and closing, avoiding slams and improving access to the cooking zone. Each component—from the combustion chamber to the drip tray—is designed to withstand the test of time without deterioration, even under intensive or prolonged use.

🧼 Maintenance and Step-by-Step Use – Napoleon Series 500 BI32

🍰 Cheesecake with Biscuit Base in the Napoleon Series 500 BI32

Cooking method: Indirect heat
Difficulty: Medium
Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes (15 mins preparation + 1 hr 15 mins cooking + cooling)

🧾 Ingredients

Biscuit Base:

  • 200 g of digestive or Marie biscuits

  • 100 g unsalted butter, melted

Cheese Filling:

  • 600 g cream cheese (e.g. Philadelphia)

  • 150 g sugar

  • 200 ml double or whipping cream (at least 35% fat)

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon of plain flour (optional for extra firmness)

  • Zest of 1 lemon or a few drops of vanilla extract (optional)

Topping (optional):

  • Red fruit jam, salted caramel, or chocolate ganache

🔧 Required Utensils

  • 22–24 cm springform tin

  • Baking parchment

  • Indirect cooking tray or pizza stone

  • A container of water to keep the interior moist (optional but recommended)

  • Spatula, spoon, and electric or manual whisk

🔥 Step-by-step Preparation and Cooking

1. Prepare the Biscuit Base

  1. Crush the biscuits until they resemble coarse sand.

  2. Mix with the melted butter until it forms a moist, crumbly mixture.

  3. Line the base of the springform tin with baking parchment and press the biscuit mixture down firmly to create an even layer.

  4. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

2. Prepare the Cheese Filling

  1. Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.

  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating gently after each addition.

  3. Stir in the cream, the flour (if using), and your chosen flavouring (lemon zest or vanilla).

  4. Pour the mixture over the chilled biscuit base.

3. Set Up the Grill for Indirect Cooking

  1. Turn on only the side burners of the grill (the two outside ones) and leave the central burners off.

  2. Set it to a medium temperature (approximately 160–170°C). Use the ACCU PROBE™ thermometer for accuracy.

  3. Place an aluminium tray or container filled with water between the central burners to maintain moisture and prevent the cheesecake from drying out.

  4. Put the cheesecake in the centre of the grill, on top of a pizza stone or insulating tray for better heat distribution.

4. Cook the Cheesecake with the Lid Closed

  1. Keep the grill closed and maintain a stable temperature.

  2. Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, watching the surface to avoid burning. If it starts to brown too much, loosely cover it with aluminium foil.

  3. It’s ready when the edges are set and the centre still wobbles slightly if you move the tin.

  4. Turn off the grill and let the cheesecake cool inside with the lid partially open for about 20 minutes to prevent cracks from sudden temperature changes.

5. Cool and Serve

  1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).

  2. Add your preferred topping just before serving: jam, fresh berries, caramel, or chocolate.

  3. Remove from the tin and serve chilled, adding any decorative touch you like.

🧑‍🍳 Expert Tips

  • If you want a subtle smoky note, add a piece of mild aapplewoodin a smoker box for the first 15 minutes.

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuits for the base.

  • You can make individual portions in small ramekins or jars (the same “mini cheesecake” approach), reducing the cooking time to around 30–35 minutes.
