Napoleon TravelQ Pro barbecues have been designed to deliver exceptional performance in a compact and portable format. These grills combine robust construction, advanced technology and ease of use, providing users with a high quality cooking experience on the go. With both gas and electric options, the TravelQ Pro is aimed at people who want a powerful yet space-saving grill that is ideal for balconies, terraces, gardens, camping trips or even to take with them in a caravan. Napoleon has optimised the design of these grills to ensure even heat distribution, ease of transport and maximum cooking efficiency, regardless of whether they are used on a traditional barbecue or in a smaller environment.
🔥 Available Models and Their Differences
Napoleon has developed several versions of the TravelQ Pro, each with unique features to suit different user needs and preferences. The TravelQ Pro 285 is the most portable and lightweight tabletop version in the gas range, ideal for those looking for a powerful grill that can be placed on any stable surface. In the electric version, the TravelQ Pro 285E offers the same design features, but with a resistance heating system, eliminating the need for gas and allowing it to be used in places where gas grills are restricted.
For those seeking greater stability and convenience in transport, the TravelQ Pro 285X features a folding trolley with large wheels, making it easy to move and store. This design allows the grill to be used both outdoors and in a garden or on a terrace without the need for an additional table. The TravelQ Pro 285X Phantom, on the other hand, is a special version with a matte black finish that, in addition to a stylish and exclusive design, includes an additional upper grill grate for heating food without exposing it directly to the fire.
Napoleon’s latest innovation is the TravelQ Pro 285EX, which merges the structure of the 285X model with the electric system of the 285E, thus offering a trolley grill with all the advantages of electric cooking. This makes it the ideal choice for those who want to avoid using gas but need a more stable and mobile grill.
🔥 Power and Performance
TravelQ Pro gas barbecues are equipped with two stainless steel burners, which together reach a total power of 4.1 kW. This system allows the heat to be regulated independently on each burner, which opens up the possibility of using both direct and indirect cooking techniques. The latter is particularly useful for grilling large pieces of meat evenly, ensuring a juicy interior and a perfectly browned surface.
The electric versions of the TravelQ Pro have a power rating of 2200 W, allowing them to generate enough heat for perfect browning of meats, vegetables and other foods. The precisely adjustable thermostat makes it easy to control the temperature, allowing cooking to be tailored to the user’s needs. Thanks to their even heat distribution system, these barbecues achieve similar results to a traditional gas grill, with the added advantage of being easier to use in confined spaces or indoors where gas is not allowed.
💡 Fast and Safe Ignition with JETFIRE™.
The gas versions of the TravelQ Pro feature the innovative JETFIRE™ ignition system, designed to provide fast and reliable ignition. Unlike traditional systems, JETFIRE™ uses a secondary pilot flame to ignite the main burners more efficiently. This means that the grill can be lit smoothly even in windy conditions or extreme temperatures. In addition, this system minimises gas consumption during ignition, increasing the efficiency and safety of the equipment.
Electric grills, on the other hand, have a continuously adjustable thermostat that allows precise temperature selection. Their heating system is designed to distribute heat evenly over the entire cooking surface, avoiding cold spots and ensuring stable performance in any environment.
🔄 Compact Design and Easy Transport
The TravelQ Pro series has been designed with mobility in mind, offering lightweight and compact models that can be easily transported. In the desktop versions, its dimensions of 74 x 47 x 38 cm allow it to be placed on any table or surface without taking up too much space. For those looking for a more versatile option, the trolley versions, such as the 285X and 285EX, have a wider frame with a height of 101 cm, making them easy to use without the need for an additional base.
The folding trolley of the 285X and 285EX models allows the barbecue to be transported effortlessly from one place to another, thanks to its large wheels that facilitate mobility on different surfaces. In addition, the folding design means it can be stored in the smallest possible space, a key advantage for those who have little storage available.
🥩 WAVE™ Enamelled Cast Iron Grids
One of the highlights of the TravelQ Pro barbecues is its WAVE™ enamelled cast iron cooking grids. These grates are designed to maximise heat retention, allowing for perfect searing of meats and other foods. Their wavy design is not only aesthetically appealing, but also has a practical function: it helps prevent small foods from falling through the grill and provides more even contact with the cooking surface.
The porcelain coating facilitates cleaning and reduces the risk of corrosion, ensuring a long service life of the equipment. In addition, this material helps to distribute the heat more evenly, avoiding areas with uneven temperatures.
🌡️ ACCU PROBE™ Thermometer
To ensure accurate cooking, all TravelQ Pro cookers include an ACCU PROBE™ thermometer integrated in the lid. This device allows the internal temperature of the grill to be accurately monitored, which is essential for adjusting the heat according to the type of food being cooked. Thanks to this thermometer, the user can avoid opening the lid unnecessarily, conserving heat and achieving more efficient cooking.
🛡️ Napoleon Quality Guarantee
Napoleon stands behind the quality of its products with a limited warranty of up to 10 years, ensuring the replacement of defective components and offering discounts on spare parts within the period of coverage. This warranty reflects confidence in the durability and performance of its barbecues, guaranteeing users a safe and reliable investment.
