Built-In 700 Series 44

The Built-In 700 Series 44 is a 44-inch drop-in gas grill head with 6 main burners plus a rear infrared rotisserie burner, totaling 108,000 BTU and about 1,100 sq in of cooking area.

$3,899Approx. MSRP

Only worth it for someone building a full outdoor kitchen who's willing to deal with a fussier grease trap and possible ignition hiccups — not the easiest first grill for a beginner.

Pros

  • Large 44-inch cooking surface suited to entertaining
  • Infrared rear burner good for rotisserie cooking
  • Robust stainless construction typical of the 700 Series
  • Loads of cooking room — 1100 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Serious heat (108,000 BTU) — sears fast

Watch-outs

  • Grease management is more hassle than on competing built-ins
  • Ignition reliability complaints across several parts of the grill
  • Premium price for a built-in that still has quality-control reports
  • Heavy (233 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Grease trap design is difficult to remove without spilling, and Napoleon doesn't sell a liner for it
  • Igniter failures reported on the rear/rotisserie burner, requiring manual lighting with a match
  • Burners not staying lit reported by multiple owners
  • One reported backfire incident that melted control knobs and internal electrical components
