With over 90,000 BTUs of cooking power, how does this natural gas grill compare to the competition? Find out everything you need to know with our Napoleon LEX 605 review.
If you want plenty of space to grill, then the Napoleon LEX605RSBINSS grill may be the best natural gas grill for you.
This Napoleon grill features 850 square inches of cooking capacity, which should be more than enough for the vast majority of buyers. Also, this grill should be large enough for you to cook food for large parties.
For added flexibility, the Napoleon gas grill features two racks: the large main rack and an upper warming rack. They are 605 and 245 square inches tall, respectively.
- Double-walled EASETM stainless steel lift-up lid. Capacity: 850 square inches
- Water jet ignition system with corrugated stainless steel cooking grates
- Attractive, backlit I-GLOW control knobs for late-night entertainment
When it comes to grill quality, the Napoleon LEX605RSBINSS natural gas grill performs extremely well. With left, center, and right burners(48,000 BTU total heat output), this grill allows for even grilling. In addition, you can easily use this device for multi-zone grilling, as you can set each burner to a different intensity.
The main grate also has an interesting corrugated shape which, Napoleon claims, allows for more even heat transfer as the corrugated wires have a larger contact area with the food.
Notably, the Napoleon LEX605RSBINSS natural gas grill also features infrared bottom and rear burners(16,000 and 15,500 BTUs respectively). Infrared burners are believed to heat food more intensely, reducing flare-ups and ensuring more even grilling. The infrared burner can be used alone or together with other burners, giving you better results when grilling.
In fact, the infrared burner combined with the wave grate could offer an unparalleled grilling experience.
Napoleon’s LEX605RSBINSS isn’t just great for cooking, it’s also super practical. It has two side shelves that give you a surface for cutting or preparing food. Aside from that, the left rack has a built in ice/marinade compartment, while the right rack has a side burner(11,000 BTUs) controlled by one of the burner knobs on the control panel.
Each of the side shelves also has a pair of tool hooks so you can keep your essentials close by.
The LEX605RSBINSS natural gas grill has built-in wheels for mobility. These do their job well, but if they were bigger they would probably make transport more convenient.
Interestingly, the buttons are backlit. This backlight looks pretty cool and also lets you know which burners are currently on. However, you can turn off the lights if you find them annoying.
Napoleon’s natural gas grill LEX605RSBINSS is also beautiful. Its stainless steel construction is not only durable and of high quality, but also makes this grill an eye-catcher.
But one issue we have with this natural gas grill is that it sometimes takes more than a click to ignite the burners. Although the JETFIRE ignition system is reliable here, it sometimes does not ignite the burners quickly. For the price, we would expect better reliability from the burner.
However, this is a fairly small problem. The Napoleon LEX605RSBINSS is still an excellent natural gas grill with high cooking performance and great convenience. Although it is very expensive!
