Napoleon Rogue 425 Gas Grill (Propane, R425PK-2) review

The Rogue 425 is Napoleon's way into its grill line, and it suits a smaller outdoor space. Napoleon lists the black propane R425PK-2 at an MSRP of $799. It has three main burners and a cooking area of 23 3/4 by 18 inches, laid with porcelainized cast-iron grids in Napoleon's WAVE shape, which stops small food from falling through and leaves wide sear marks when reversed. Dual level stainless steel sear plates under the grates vaporize drippings and shield the stainless tube burners. Jetfire ignition shoots a jet of flame to each burner and needs no batteries. The side shelves fold, so the grill tucks against a wall on a balcony or small patio, and locking casters keep it in place. Our main issue is value: the product page publishes no BTU figure, and at the same $799 the Weber Genesis E-325W gives more cooking area. Buy the 425 SB at $829 if you want a range side burner.
