Your built-in burner works hard; its cover should too. These original Napoleon covers protect 10″ and 18″ built-in side burners with a precise fit, water- and UV-resistant technical fabrics, and real-life outdoor details like ventilation strips and hanging loops. All with guaranteed 700 Series compatibility and a clear focus: to keep your cooking area ready, clean and operational all year round.
🧵 Materials and construction
100% polyester fabric combines a dense weave with a water-repellent finish that helps rain to permeate and run off rather than soak in, reducing moisture build-up on the burner surface. UV resistance helps to maintain the colour and integrity of the material in prolonged exposure to the sun. Ventilation strips allow air to circulate, mitigating interior condensation and promoting faster drying after rain showers. Hanging loops facilitate handling and storage between uses, so the cover stays dry and tidy without taking up space on the work surface.
🛡️ Total outdoor protection
The cover acts as an all-round shield against rain, dust, pollen, residual grease splashes and solar radiation, all of which can affect burner finishes and control elements over time. Its wrap-around cover helps keep the side area clean and ready to light, preventing dirt from settling in nooks and crannies and moisture from accelerating wear and tear in the off-season. Even in sudden changes of weather, the fabric retains its flexibility and does not become brittle, prolonging the life cycle of the accessory and the burner itself.
⚙️ Outstanding functionalities
Every detail is designed for real outdoor use: the tailored fit prevents wind from lifting the cover and water pockets from forming; the ventilation strips reduce the risk of condensation leading to odours or marks; and the hanging loops allow for clean removal and storage while cooking. Adjustable straps are added to the BIB18 version to provide a firmer seat on double or wok modules, improving support in exposed installations or when wind gusts are expected.
🚀 Performance and efficiency of care.
By limiting direct exposure to UV, rain and dirt, the cover reduces the need for deep cleaning and protects surfaces, controls and auxiliary grills, resulting in less maintenance and more cooking time. This “passive maintenance” is especially noticeable at the beginning of the season: the burner lights consistently, the work area is dry and thermal performance is more predictable because there is no debris or moisture interfering with combustion or heat transfer.
🎨 Design and aesthetics
Its restrained, wrap-around cut respects the lines of the outdoor kitchen and provides a tidy aesthetic when you’re not cooking. The cover blends in visually with the whole, without drawing attention to itself or breaking the harmony of the built-in unit. The fabric finish retains its feel and appearance over time, reducing the typical sun fading effect and maintaining a neat look season after season.
🔗 Compatibilities and fittings
The 10″ cover is designed for BI10/BIB10 compatible 700 Series integrated side burners, including recessed Sizzle Zone. It covers the perimeter of the cavity and sits precisely over the rim for a stable, even seal. The 18″ sleeve is intended for double and power modules (wok/power burner) of the same series, where the straps help to adjust the contour and compensate for small installation variations typical of custom kitchens. In both cases, the perfect fit reduces movement and friction that could damage surfaces over time.
🍳 Benefits for your kitchen (barbecue and outdoor)
With the burner protected, you maintain its thermal response and first-time ignition, key to searing in the Sizzle Zone, powerful wok stir-frying and preparing sauces or side dishes without missing a beat. Stability in the state of the equipment translates into more consistent results, less set-up time and a smoother experience when you combine main grill and side zone for side-by-side cooking.
🧽 Safety and ease of use
Tailored fit prevents the cover from shifting or forming creases that can snag when removing or placing. Built-in ventilation helps keep the interior dry, minimising residual moisture that can affect components. Hanging loops improve grip and ergonomics when handling, and the 3-year limited warranty adds long-term peace of mind. In exposed installations, the straps on the BIB18 version increase the hold to keep the cover in place even in windy conditions.
🧰 Non-barbecue applications
In addition to its primary use on Napoleon integrated side burners, the cover can protect other built-in modules of equivalent dimensions, provided the fit is correct. In these cases, prioritise checking measurements and maintaining functional ventilation to reproduce the same balance between protection and breathing of the whole. It is a useful solution for extending the life of auxiliary surfaces in modular outdoor kitchens.
