Built-In 500 Series 32

The Built-In 500 Series 32 is a 32-inch drop-in gas grill head with 4 main burners producing 48,000 BTU across roughly 531 sq in of cooking area.

$1,679Approx. MSRP

Good for someone planning a permanent outdoor kitchen island who wants solid, even-heating performance, but confirm you have (or budget for) a propane regulator before ordering the LP version.

Pros

  • Even heat distribution across the cooking surface
  • Straightforward maintenance/cleaning
  • Solid overall build quality typical of Napoleon's built-in line
  • Serious heat (48,000 BTU) — sears fast
  • Built to last (marine-grade stainless steel with 7.5mm stainless steel wave cooking grids)

Watch-outs

  • Buyers going propane need to budget for an extra regulator purchase
  • Customer support responsiveness is inconsistent
  • As a built-in, installation requires an outdoor kitchen enclosure, adding cost
  • Heavy (160 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Propane regulator not included in the box for the propane version despite being required, with Napoleon requiring a separate purchase
  • Slow, unresponsive customer service reported by some owners (long hold times, no callback)
