Product Overview
The Napoleon Premium 22" Charcoal Kettle Grill has been designed for barbecue enthusiasts who want the authentic flavour of charcoal combined with premium engineering and exceptional heat control.

Napoleon Vortex Heat Management System
The integrated Vortex Heat Management System improves airflow throughout the kettle, producing more even cooking temperatures while maximising charcoal efficiency. Improved convection enhances both searing and smoking performance while directing ash into the removable ash bucket for easier cleaning.
The result is greater temperature consistency, improved fuel economy and more predictable cooking performance.
Premium Hinged Stainless Steel Cooking Grids
The heavy-duty stainless steel cooking grids heat quickly, resist corrosion and are designed for years of reliable cooking. Hinged sections allow additional charcoal, smoking wood or water pans to be added during cooking without lifting the entire cooking grid.
- Premium stainless steel construction
- Excellent heat retention
- Corrosion resistant
- Convenient hinged design
- Ideal for smoking and indirect cooking
Precise Airflow & Temperature Control
Controlling airflow is essential when cooking with charcoal. The Premium 22 features protected upper venting beneath the Stay Cool handle together with precision lower air inlets, giving you accurate control over cooking temperatures while reducing the impact of wind and changing weather conditions.
The integrated ACCU-PROBE™ temperature gauge includes guides for ideal smoking and searing temperatures, helping you maintain perfect cooking conditions throughout every cook.
Durable Porcelain-Enamelled Construction
The porcelain-enamelled lid and bowl are engineered to retain heat efficiently while standing up to Australia's outdoor conditions. Combined with the improved elevated leg design, the Premium 22 provides excellent stability and comfortable working height for everyday cooking.
