Professional Charcoal Cooking
The Professional 22 is designed for charcoal enthusiasts who want complete control over every cook. Whether you're grilling over direct heat, roasting with indirect heat or smoking low and slow, this premium kettle delivers exceptional performance with authentic charcoal flavour.
The porcelain coated cast iron Iconic WAVE™ cooking grids provide outstanding heat retention while producing Napoleon's signature sear marks on everything from steaks to seafood and vegetables.
Three-Level Cooking System
Unlike conventional charcoal kettles, the Professional 22 features adjustable cast iron cooking grids that can be positioned at three different cooking heights.
Bring food closer to the charcoal for intense searing or raise the grids for slower roasting and smoking. Hinged sections also allow additional charcoal, smoking wood or water pans to be added without interrupting your cook.
Advanced Heat Management
Napoleon's Vortex Heat Management System improves airflow throughout the kettle, creating more even temperatures, enhanced convection and greater charcoal efficiency.
The Smoke Stack Chimney protects the upper vent from wind and rain while allowing precise airflow adjustment, making temperature control easier whether you're smoking brisket or searing steaks.
Rotisserie Ready Design
The integrated stainless steel extension ring is fully rotisserie ready, allowing you to add an optional Napoleon rotisserie kit for perfectly cooked chickens, roasts and other spit-roasted meals.
Integrated probe ports allow digital thermometer cables to pass neatly into the kettle while keeping the lid closed, maintaining stable cooking temperatures during long cooks.
Premium Construction
Built from durable porcelain-coated steel, the Professional 22 is engineered to withstand Australia's outdoor conditions while providing excellent heat retention and long-term durability.
The offset hinged lid gives unrestricted access to the entire cooking surface while keeping hands safely away from the hottest areas of the barbecue.
