Approximately 900 Square Inches of Cooking Space
The Phantom Prestige 500 Connected provides approximately 900 square inches of total cooking area, including a spacious 28-by-17.75-inch main cooking surface.
This provides room for:
-
Steaks and burgers
-
Chicken breasts, thighs and wings
-
Pork chops and tenderloin
-
Whole chickens and roasts
-
Vegetables and side dishes
-
Rotisserie chicken
-
Prime rib and pork roast
-
Food for family gatherings and entertaining
The four stainless-steel main burners allow you to create direct and indirect cooking zones for grilling, roasting, reverse searing and finishing food at different temperatures.
Cast Stainless-Steel WAVE Cooking Grids
The Phantom model features heavy-duty cast stainless-steel WAVE cooking grids.
These premium grids provide excellent heat retention, durability and distinctive Napoleon sear marks while requiring less maintenance than traditional cast-iron cooking grids.
Cast stainless steel is ideal for:
-
High-temperature steak searing
-
Everyday burgers and chicken
-
Delicate fish and vegetables
-
Indirect roasting
-
Frequent year-round grilling
-
Cooks who want durability with easier maintenance
Infrared SIZZLE ZONE Side Burner
The infrared side burner delivers intense heat for restaurant-quality searing.
Use the SIZZLE ZONE to create a rich crust on steaks, pork chops and other proteins before finishing them over indirect heat—or reverse the process by gently cooking the food inside the grill before giving it a final infrared sear.
The side burner can also be used with compatible cookware for sauces, side dishes and outdoor meal preparation.
Infrared Rear Rotisserie Burner
The integrated infrared rear burner provides focused heat for rotisserie cooking.
A heavy-duty rotisserie kit is included, allowing you to prepare:
-
Whole chickens
-
Turkey
-
Prime rib
-
Pork loin
-
Beef roasts
-
Shawarma-style meats
-
Rotisserie vegetables
-
Other balanced roasts
The rear burner provides steady heat while the rotisserie turns the food for even cooking, browning and self-basting.
Napoleon Rotisserie Grill Basket
Expand the included rotisserie system with the Napoleon Rotisserie Grill Basket.
This stainless-steel tumble basket gently rotates smaller foods for even cooking without requiring excessive oil. It can hold up to approximately 4.5 lb. and is ideal for wings, fries, vegetables and other foods that would normally fall through standard cooking grids.
Use it for:
-
Chicken wings
-
French fries
-
Potato wedges
-
Mixed vegetables
-
Shrimp
-
Sausage pieces
-
Roasted peppers
-
Small cuts of meat

The basket works with the heavy-duty rotisserie kit already included with the Phantom Prestige 500 Connected.
Add Real Wood-Smoke Flavour
Transform the Phantom Prestige 500 into a gas grill and smoker combination with the Napoleon Stainless-Steel Smoker Box.
Fill the smoker box with compatible wood chips or small wood chunks, then position it over a lit burner or in place of a sear plate according to Napoleon’s directions. As the wood heats, it releases smoke that adds deeper barbecue flavour to meat, fish and vegetables.
The smoker box is excellent for:
-
Smoked chicken
-
Pork ribs
-
Beef roasts
-
Burgers
-
Salmon and fish
-
Sausages
-
Vegetables
-
Reverse-seared steaks

This accessory gives you another way to use the Phantom Prestige 500 beyond traditional gas grilling.
SafetyGlow LED Control Knobs
The illuminated control knobs make evening grilling easier while adding to the Phantom’s premium appearance.
Napoleon’s SafetyGlow system changes the knob illumination to red when a burner is operating, providing a clear visual reminder that the gas is on.
This is especially useful when grilling after dark or managing several burners at different settings.
JETFIRE 2.0 Ignition
Napoleon’s instant, battery-free JETFIRE ignition system lights each main burner with a focused flame.
This provides dependable ignition without relying on a separate battery-powered starter. Each burner can be lit individually, allowing you to create the cooking configuration needed for direct or indirect heat.
Integrated Temperature Probes and Ports
Included temperature probes let you monitor internal food temperature through the grill’s display and connected app.
Probe monitoring is valuable for:
-
Steak doneness
-
Whole chicken
-
Turkey
-
Pork loin
-
Prime rib
-
Beef roasts
-
Rotisserie cooking
-
Low-temperature roasting
Using internal temperature rather than cooking time alone helps improve consistency and makes it easier to plan resting and serving.
Stow-Away Warming Rack and Hidden Tool Hooks
The stow-away warming rack provides extra cooking and holding space when needed and folds away to create more room for larger foods and rotisserie cooking.
Integrated hidden tool hooks keep tongs, spatulas and other utensils close by without creating unnecessary clutter around the side shelves.
Matte-Black Phantom Finish
The Phantom Prestige 500 Connected features a distinctive matte-black exterior with darkened components and premium styling.
Its modern appearance is paired with practical features, including:
-
Powder-coated exterior surfaces
-
Cast stainless-steel cooking grids
-
Illuminated control knobs
-
Hidden tool storage
-
Industrial locking caster wheels
-
Spacious preparation shelves
-
Lift Ease roll-top lid

Natural Gas
The natural-gas model connects to a properly installed residential natural-gas supply, eliminating the need to refill propane tanks.
Propane
The propane model provides greater flexibility when a natural-gas connection is unavailable.
