Napoleon – Prestige Pro 500 Gas Grills

Napoleon Prestige® PRO 500 Gas Grill

The Prestige PRO 500 starts where the Prestige 500 leaves off. It runs the same serious cooking platform — infrared searing, rear rotisserie burner, six burners total — and builds a full PRO-level feature set on top of it. Better lighting, smarter controls, more refined construction, and the kind of details that set a professional-grade grill apart from everything else on the market.

Searing at 1800°F

The infrared SIZZLE ZONE™ side burner on the PRO 500 reaches 1800°F in 30 seconds. That’s not a marketing number — it’s the temperature required to produce the kind of caramelized crust that seals in juices and delivers a proper steakhouse sear. The side burner also functions as a standard gas burner for sauces, sides, and anything else that needs a separate flame.

The rear infrared rotisserie burner handles the slow work — even, penetrating heat for whole chickens, roasts, and anything that benefits from rotating over steady infrared output. The included heavy-duty rotisserie kit is built for it.

PRO-Level Features You Won’t Find on a Standard Prestige

This is where the PRO 500 separates itself. The LED Spectrum NIGHT LIGHT™ control knobs aren’t limited to red and blue — they cycle through the full color spectrum and can be set to any color you want. They still glow red with SafetyGlow™ when a burner is on, but nighttime entertaining gets a lot more interesting.

The proximity lighting system detects when you step up to the grill and projects a Napoleon logo hologram in front of it — a detail that sounds like a gimmick until you see it and realize it’s just genuinely impressive. Interior halogen lights illuminate the cooking surface when the hood is open, so night cooking doesn’t mean guessing at doneness in the dark.

HeatBoost Reflector technology redirects heat back toward the cooking surface to minimize loss and promote even temperatures across the entire grate — no hot spots, no cold zones, just consistent output from edge to edge.

A Cabinet Built for the Way You Cook

The enclosed storage cabinet underneath the grill is lit, organized, and built to stay that way. Interior lights make it easy to find what you’re looking for without digging around. Soft-close doors prevent slamming and keep wear and tear off the hinges over years of regular use. The integrated ice bucket in the side shelf keeps drinks cold without a separate cooler taking up patio space. A built-in cutting board gives you a dedicated prep surface right at the grill.

These aren’t afterthoughts — they’re the details that make a difference during a real cook session when you’re moving fast and need everything within reach.

Built to PRO Standards

The 9.5mm thick WAVE™ cast stainless steel cooking grids are heavier and more durable than the standard Prestige grids, producing better heat retention and the same distinctive Napoleon sear marks. Dual-level stainless steel sear plates underneath vaporize drippings before they cause flare-ups and protect the tube burners below. The same high-quality 304 stainless steel used on the exterior carries through to the basin, tube burners, sear plates, and cooking grids — the components that matter most are built to the same standard.

The ACCU-Probe temperature gauge in the hood is built from stainless steel for accuracy and durability, giving you a reliable read on what’s happening inside without lifting the lid constantly.

Smart Technology

The PRO 500 connects to the Napoleon app via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for remote temperature monitoring, cook assist, timer control, and high-temperature warnings from your phone. Included temperature probes let you track multiple cuts at once. For propane, a digital tank scale takes the guesswork out of how much fuel you have left.

Propane or Natural Gas

The Prestige PRO 500 is available in both propane and natural gas. Whether you’re running a tank or connecting directly to a gas line for a permanent outdoor kitchen, there’s a model for your setup. Our team at Fireplace Gallery can help you figure out which configuration makes the most sense for your space.

Warranty

The Prestige PRO 500 is backed by Napoleon’s lifetime bumper-to-bumper warranty on major components — the strongest coverage available on any Napoleon grill, and the kind of warranty that reflects what goes into building it.
