Napoleon PRO22 Charcoal Kettle Grill PRO22K-LEG-3
Napoleon PRO22 Charcoal Kettle Grill PRO22K-LEG-3 brings precision control and upgraded features to the classic 22-inch charcoal kettle design. Whether youre searing steaks, roasting whole chickens, or running low-and-slow ribs, this charcoal kettle delivers excellent heat retention, smart airflow management, and rotisserie-ready performance in a compact footprint.
Heavy-duty cast iron cooking grates sit above a vortex-style charcoal system that boosts airflow for efficient fuel use and more consistent heat. The hinged, height-adjustable grids give you quick access to fuel and let you move the food closer to or further from the coals for perfect sear or smoke control. A smoke stack chimney and multi-point venting system help lock in target temperatures, while the offset hinged lid keeps your hands free and makes tending the fire easier.
Rotisserie- and probe-ready ports, porcelain-coated steel construction, and stable locking casters make the PRO22 kettle grill a serious tool for backyard cooks who want charcoal flavor with modern control and convenience.
