I am a daily griller--rain, sleet, snow, or shine--85% of our meals come from the flame. It's such a smart move and instant health benefit to our lives. Our previous portables kicked the bucket, I grew tired of the weak BTUs of other offerings, so I decided to invest in a premium portable grill this time around. SOOOO, don't hate my review, rather harness the facts and if you're in the market, look no further and buy it from desertcart today! PROs: -Huge grilling capacity for it's size -Fantastic lightweight build quality -Two independent burners, that's right... direct or indirect cooking! -Narrow high quality cast iron grates; you'll never again sacrifice a shrimp or sliced bell pepper -High BTU output that sears and cooks much more efficiently (effortlessly too) -Takes 20lb tank -Lights instantly, even in high winds -Enough internal clearance beneath the grates to add a smoke box CONs: -Short propane hose limits where/how you use/place your grill (Basically, the propane hose is about a meter long, so the options of where you place your tank is limited. We initially had the tank sitting at full extension next to the grill... it made strange hissing noises that scared the crap out of us. We decided to place the tank on the ground on a cinderblock and the hissing went away. Not a scientist, so can't tell you if gas flows better with gravity et al, but short of buying the $159 cart, which we don't need, this was the next best thing. The hose seams universal, so you may be able to change if necessary, just want to be 100% forthcoming on how we use it. Summary: By far the best portable grill money can buy. It's like the Mini Cooper of portable grills!! Review: This is by far the BEST small grill I have ever owned - This is by far the BEST small grill I have ever owned. We live in a condo in Chicago and did not have room for our full sized Weber Genesis, which we adored. couple of years ago we purchased the Cuisinart CGG-200 All-Foods table top grill here on desertcart based on the reviews. We are frequent users. We grill approximately 6X per week every week even in the winter breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Cuisinart is a single burner unit with many uneven spots on the cooking surface. Wind even affected cooking profoundly. We Had to rebuild the inside of the cooking box last year but our heavy use had cause permanent damage. The Napoleon PRO285-BK is the answer to our grilling dreams. The dual burners create an extremely hot cooking surface reaching over 600 in no time. We grilled 5 pounds of arrachera for a party on high on the right side and placed on the low side while grilling in batches. Best Yet! The grill is large enough for our thick (Dough-Joe® Pizza and Baking Stone 14.5" Round by 7/8" Thick) bought here and does an amazing job getting the crust crispy without burning. The enclosed “hard wired” hose and regulator are very short. We needed to purchase a longer hose. The (Gas One 60inches Parallel Low Pressure Propane CSA Certified Regulator and Hose Connection Kit for LP/LPG Most LP/LPG Gas Grill, Heater and Fire Pit T) If you go this route, take care to use two wrenches to tighten and loosen the original hose. The hold down bracket attached the the grill is not very sturdy. Starting the grill initially was tricky so beware, but once you are aware of how to do it, it is just like lighting your stove. It has worked flawlessly ever since. Wind has not been an issue. Our condo is on a “wind tunnel” street and the north west wind shoots right into the back of the grill. After reading reviews we decided to buy the grill and create a wind break, but this hasn’t been needed yet even on the windiest days. Although we have only used for 3 weeks we are convinced this was worth every penny and we enjoy it thoroughly. Truly, you get what you pay for and we feel we would and will do again when this grill goes to grill heaven some day, ## Features - 2 burner portable grill with up to 12,000 BTUs - Total cooking area: 285 sq.

Napoleon manages the facility with strict quality control. The President's 10 Year Limited Warranty still applies. **Q: Has anyone hooked up this grill to a low flow RV quick connect...and if you have what kind of conversion/adaptor was required** A: Napoleon has a part number 66287 and it's an RV adapter kit that allows this to hook up to an RV quick disconnect. **Q: The manual shows side tables and how to install. There were not any in the box. Were there supposed to be some? Or can you buy them as accessories?** A: I believe that they are an option. If you look in the back of the manual there is a list of parts and the sides are listed as an option, if I remember correctly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome grill *by A***R on May 15, 2016* Read carefully!

Worked great, perfect size for my family of 4. I also got the griddle piece and I definitely recommend it. Gets plenty hot. I used it at home for testing and it sets up quick. On the YouTube reviews it shows a separate adapter hose for a actual propane tank use. But mine came with a propane tank hose already attached. It is kinda short. Especially if you have the grill on a table and a tank on the ground but mine was just enough length to work. My only cons for me was it is kinda tall, so it took a little more room to pack it. But I guess that's for bigger stuff to grill and I wish the hatch would lock for transportation. But wasn't a deal killer. Overall I'm happy with the grill over our previous camping grilling owned. ## Frequently Bought Together - Napoleon PRO285-BK Portable Propane Grill, Black - Napoleon Premium Cover for Portable Gas Grills, TravelQ and TravelQ PRO285 - Black, Water Resistant, UV Protected, Air Vents, Hanging Loops, Adjustable Buckled Straps to Secure Cover - Napoleon BBQ Grill Accessory, Cast Iron Reversible Griddle for all TravelQ 285 Series,Non-Stick --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/15138060-napoleon-pro285-bk-portable-propane-grill-black](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/15138060-napoleon-pro285-bk-portable-propane-grill-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
