Napoleon Prestige 500 RSIB with Infrared Side and Rear Burner (P500VRSIBPSS) review

The Prestige 500 RSIB is the grill for people who want every cooking method on one cart. Napoleon lists the stainless propane P500VRSIBPSS at an MSRP of $2,199. Beyond the four main burners it has an infrared sear station on the side shelf for very high direct heat and a rear burner for rotisserie cooking, and Napoleon includes the heavy duty rotisserie kit. Cooking grids are 8.5mm stainless steel, which Napoleon describes as low maintenance, and the grease management system is built for easy cleaning. Jetfire ignition lights each burner with a jet of flame and no batteries. The LED control knobs light up for night cooking and switch to red SafetyGlow when gas is flowing. Six tool hooks are hidden to keep the side shelves clear, and the warming rack stows away. Napoleon backs it with a Lifetime Limited Warranty. Value is the weak point: it costs four times the Weber Spirit E-325, and the product page we checked gives no BTU or cooking area numbers to compare.
