Today I am doing an unboxing and review of the Napoleon Rodeo Pro, PRO22K-LEG. This is Napoleons solution to combat Weber's Original Kettle grill and in my opinion they given weber a run for their money!

My First Impression of this Napoleon Grill is that it is build well and is made to last. From is platinum porcelain coated bowl/lid to it's heavy duty Cast Iron Grill this Kettle grill is ready to play.

It has a great look to it and as many functional components to it like a temperature gage on the top, three grill positioning levels and a hinged lid on the top.

If you are looking for a new kettle grill I would suggest looking at this one to see if it's right for you.

*Love it!! I used to use a propane grill and after using my Weber, the food just tastes so much better and the temp **MyBest.Kitchen** control is so easy! Will never use a propane grill again!*

[gkntsmz]

I have one. Bottom vent does almost nothing to control temp. Initial thoughts is that the ash catcher air gap on sides allows air straight up into bbq. Rendering control slots to being aesthetically pleasing.

New video review of the Napoleon rodeo Pro kettle grill. What do you think?

[drkrueger]

Thanks for your review! I've used the Weber kettle for years with lots of success in grilling, BBQing, baking and smoking. Looking forward to the cast iron grates, hinged top and adjustable grate/fire distance features of the Napoleon. I will miss the one-touch ash wipers at the bottom of the Weber but adding features to the Weber is not cost effective compared with a new grill. Hoping to receive the Napoleon cart version 8/8. I'll be seasoning the cast iron in the electric oven before putting them into service.

The adjustable height grate is my biggest pet peeve about my Weber performer. Because high heat searing is tricky with the performer

[dougdoug]

That adjustable height feature is a great I wonder why weber never came up with that ...60 years later!!

[BigMo]

Very interested in this grill. Thanks for the review!

[niall]

Any chance you're still using this thing? How is the hinge holding up after a couple years?

[One__Of__One]

I just bought one. where is the serial number?

[dougdoug]

too bad about the air leaking trouble you would think with all that money they are asking it would be built tight.

[lettingthebearout]

Is there a notch for a cable to an external thermometer?

[monzira]

What is the reflector plate's purpose? Just bought a napolean and still learning how to improve my BBQing skills, but no idea what that plate is for

[duckmontreal]

Hi there. I have the same model (Napoleon Charcoal Kettle Grill). I really struggle to handle and keep the temperature, sometimes too high, sometimes very low. Could you do a video showing us how you manage it? Thanks.

Nice review ! Please share with us how you clean and mantain the cast iron grill after the cooking session ? You use stainless steel brush or brass brush because i reed on the internet that if you use a stainless steel brush you can scratch the surface of the porcelain coat from the grill. I will cook twice in a month using this grill so please explain the seasoning proces if you can. Thanks !

[garethprice]

So I see you went back to a weber. Can I ask why?

[ZeidGho]

I wish if the vents were to the side, not in the dead center

[louispatterson]

Looks good, good sir. What's makes a kettle grill a kettle grill though?

[toddpratt]

I'm looking for a kettle that I can do low and slow on as well as sear. How has this Napoleon 22 inch held up? Thanks

[robbryden]

Is this better than a weber as I'm in two minds in which one to buy
