Napoleon Charcoal BBQs

Traditional Charcoal BBQ Cooking

Charcoal grilling gives you direct control over the fire and allows you to create different heat zones across the cooking surface. By adjusting the charcoal arrangement and airflow, you can move between high-temperature grilling and slower indirect cooking techniques.

Napoleon Kettle Charcoal BBQs

Napoleon kettle BBQs provide a versatile platform for traditional charcoal cooking. Their enclosed design allows you to grill directly over the coals or use the lid and indirect heat for roasting and slower cooking.

Charcoal BBQs for Grilling, Roasting & Smoking

A charcoal BBQ can support a wide range of cooking techniques. Set up concentrated heat for searing steaks and burgers, create separate heat zones for more controlled grilling, or arrange the charcoal for indirect cooking of larger cuts.

Selected models and setups can also be used for slower, smoke-influenced barbecue cooking when operated according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Why Choose a Napoleon Charcoal BBQ?

• Authentic charcoal cooking – enjoy the distinctive experience and flavour of cooking over charcoal.

Charcoal vs Gas BBQs

Charcoal BBQs appeal to cooks who enjoy managing a live fire and experimenting with different heat zones, while gas BBQs offer faster ignition and convenient temperature adjustment. The right choice depends on how you prefer to cook and the experience you want from your barbecue.

Choosing a Napoleon Charcoal BBQ

Consider cooking area, overall dimensions, portability and the types of food you plan to prepare. If you regularly cook for larger groups, additional cooking capacity may be important, while a more compact charcoal grill can suit smaller households or occasional outdoor cooking.
