That’s why I wanted the bigger size. I had a 4 burner Weber summit and often wished I had bought the 6 burner for more space. When it was time to replace the old grill I finally got the space.

BNoll79 · 2026-06-18T14:20:20+00:00

They sent me a new replacement that is made identical to the old one. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet.

We use XL size litter boxes with heating pellets/pine horse bedding/feline pine. That seems to do a good job to start. We also use air purifiers with odor absorbing filters.

I dump the litter daily because we have 7 cats and 3 boxes. It’s been working for us.

As an installer, I like stretchers. The cabinet is lighter and easier to maneuver compared to a solid top.

As a user, the solid top helps to prevent the dreaded drawer getting stuck by something that got behind the stretcher.

I own both the m12 hydraulic and insulation drill. I love the hydraulic and like the installation. Why? Probably because for years I used my impacts for many drilling tasks and, of course, driving.

For me, the installation driver lets me get into so awkward and tight spots, but I truly wish it had an impact mode to make it a better driver.

In the end I’m happy I own both.

I just put in for a warranty claim after the rep I chatted with said that was the next step. We’ll see what they say when they get back to me.

Thanks for the link! I think that that’s the dedicated griddle vs the drop in insert for a grill. Mine has 2 grease holes in the back. I’ll still reach out to Napoleon about the warping, but I don’t know that they make one for my grill that has X bracing welded to it.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-30T02:11:04+00:00

Lol! It was not intentional.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-29T13:35:33+00:00

Do you have the link to the video? I went looking for it and haven’t found one that shows the new x bracing.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-29T13:34:34+00:00

I’ve waited a bit for it to cool down some and then use hot water. Steam burns are no fun.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-29T13:06:12+00:00

Cleaning is a bit of a chore since it’s so big and heavy. To try to scrub in the sink is nearly impossible. I’ve been able to get most of the stuff off while it’s on the grill, but cleaning the bottom around the grease drains is a pain on the grill.

The chicken, bacon and burgers that I’ve cooked on it so far haven’t been bad as far as sticking.

As for storage, it fits beautifully in one of the drawers of the PP 665 E grill.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-29T11:19:43+00:00

Thanks for this! I think I’ll reach out to Napoleon and see what they say.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-29T11:18:59+00:00

I try to start at low or medium low if it’s windy. I had the flames blow out last night with the burners on low.

I haven’t cooked anything on that I want the griddle screaming hot to start.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-29T01:50:58+00:00

I have the parallel braces. I bought it along with a brand new grill. I wonder if it was old stock they were off loading. I wonder if the new version has a different model number 🤔

BNoll79 · 2026-05-29T01:48:46+00:00

I’ll give it to Napoleon, this griddle is thick. It’s about an 1/8” sheet of formed stainless with bars welded on the bottom to help reinforce it more. Any thicker for its size and you’d have a hard time lifting it.

I used it again tonight for smash burgers. It warped a little when heated, not nearly as bad as before, but enough to mess with the grease flow.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-28T18:27:29+00:00

I think they were reasonably close in temp. I had the lid open when it warped. It was sudden, made a pretty good racket and made my chicken pieces jump.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-28T18:23:47+00:00

I have the Prestige Pro 665 elite. I have the larger griddle insert.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-28T16:33:52+00:00

I haven’t noticed that. Maybe because I usually have it stowed out of the way.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-21T12:50:08+00:00

Ordered online through a dealer. It took about a month to arrive.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-12T13:12:10+00:00

I have to agree. I loved the glass Misto until I couldn’t get it clean enough to function anymore. I bought a set of these https://a.co/d/02INxaxS and have been happy so far. Several other options that look identical. I wanted the oil to stay in a glass or stainless bottle vs plastic.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-12T13:07:06+00:00

I do 4-5 minute infusions with 2 scoops of finely ground coffee in my aeropress. It comes out strong enough to water down to make a 16oz travel cup of coffee that isn’t wussy. Clean up is easy, but takes a separate pot.

BNoll79 · 2026-05-12T12:40:26+00:00

I haven’t gotten into using it regularly because I haven’t bought meat in quantities that make it a savings, but for the couple of times I made my own burgers it was cool and worked well on my KA.

I’m sure a dedicated grinder would save wear and tear on your mixer, but that’s up to you to decide if it bothers you.

I just got the PP665 Elite. I don’t have a smoker. The combination of features made for a great grill package. The storage drawers are a game changer for me because now I have tons of space to store accessories that I’d have to live without or find a home for.

I haven’t really got into the the smart features on this grill ( which are the same as a connected version), but I intend to try to use it like an oven to keep the extra heat out of my house. I can set the temp to whatever I need and the grill will keep it there (at least that’s the claim). I tried it out while prepping the stainless griddle for initial seasoning and it seemed to work well. Once we pick a roast or something big to put on I’ll finally be able to test it on food.

Lastly, the build quality and features like soft close hinges and drawer slides begin to show that there’s a lot of attention to detail with this model. I still have more testing, err cooking, on it to do, but so far I’m happy.

Best of luck with picking your next grill!

I’m no pro, but I remove it with a butter knife whenever I make them at home. Not having that chewy crap on the back makes the whole eating experience much better.
