The Two Most Recommended Gas Grill Brands
Ask any serious backyard cook which gas grill brands they trust, and Napoleon and Blaze will come up repeatedly. Both are available at Fireplace Bros, both are built to last, and both occupy the premium end of the market. Here is how to decide between them.
Napoleon: Canadian Engineering, Premium Features
Napoleon is a Canadian company that has been making grills since 1976. Their Prestige and Rogue PRO series are some of the best-engineered gas grills on the market — stainless steel construction throughout, cast stainless burners, heavy-duty cooking grates, and infrared rear burners for rotisserie cooking on their top models. The ACCU-PROBE temperature gauge and JETFIRE ignition system are standout features you find across their lineup.
Napoleon grills run from around $1,000 for the Rogue series up to $3,500 for the top Prestige Pro models. They also offer one of the most comprehensive warranties in the business — lifetime on main burners and most components.
Best for: buyers who want a premium Canadian-made grill with excellent warranty coverage and infrared rear burner capability.
Blaze: Commercial-Grade Build for Serious Outdoor Kitchens
Blaze is built from 304 stainless steel throughout — the same grade used in commercial restaurant kitchens. Their Professional LUX series is designed for outdoor kitchen installations and produces exceptional, even heat across the entire cooking surface. Blaze grills are heavier, thicker, and built for integration into an outdoor kitchen island rather than standalone use.
Blaze grills start around $1,500 for their entry Prelude series and reach $7,000 or more for the Professional LUX 4-burner. Like Napoleon, they offer lifetime warranties on their main burners.
Best for: buyers building a full outdoor kitchen, or anyone who wants commercial-grade 304 stainless construction and maximum heat output.
Napoleon vs Blaze: The Bottom Line
Choose Napoleon if you want a freestanding grill with excellent features, a trusted brand, and lifetime warranty at a slightly lower entry price. Choose Blaze if you are building an outdoor kitchen and want the heaviest, most commercial-grade construction available.
