Why a BBQ is more than just a grill
A BBQ isn’t just for cooking — it’s an experience.
It’s where stories are shared, laughter happens, and memories are made. With Napoleon BBQs, you get professional-grade performance in a design built for Ontario’s unpredictable weather.
Top benefits of investing in a premium BBQ:
-
Consistent heat control for perfect sears and slow roasts.
-
Durable stainless-steel construction that withstands snow, rain, and humidity.
-
Even flame distribution across burners for reliable results.
-
Sleek modern design that complements any backyard.
From Mississauga to Markham, homeowners across the GTA choose Napoleon because it’s more than a grill — it’s an upgrade to their lifestyle.
Building your dream outdoor kitchen
Turning your backyard into a full outdoor kitchen isn’t as complicated as it sounds — it’s about planning the right layout and choosing durable materials that match your home’s design.
Key components of a complete outdoor kitchen:
-
Grill station — the centerpiece, ideally a built-in Napoleon model.
-
Prep area — countertops made of granite, quartz, or weatherproof composite.
-
Storage — stainless cabinets or drawers for utensils and condiments.
-
Sink and water access — great for larger installations.
-
Refrigeration — keep drinks cold without going indoors.
-
Lighting and shelter — pergolas or retractable awnings for comfort and shade.

Safety & maintenance — keeping your grill in top shape
Before every season, take a few minutes to inspect your BBQ and connections.
Ontario weather can be tough on outdoor equipment, so regular care is key.
Checklist:
-
Check gas lines and fittings for leaks using soapy water.
-
Clean burners to ensure consistent flames.
-
Remove grease buildup from trays and catch pans.
-
Inspect ignition and knobs for smooth operation.
-
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby during large gatherings.
With proper maintenance, a Napoleon BBQ can last well over a decade — maintaining its shine, performance, and safety.
Extending your BBQ season
Why limit BBQ season to summer?
In the GTA, fall and even mild winter days can still be perfect for outdoor grilling.
Tips to extend your grilling season:
-
Set up a covered area or pergola to shield from wind or light rain.
-
Use a gas line BBQ to avoid propane freezing in colder months.
-
Add an outdoor fireplace or patio heater for warmth and ambience.
-
Keep an LED light fixture above your grill for evening cooking.
Pairing your BBQ with an outdoor Napoleon fireplace or Valor patio heater keeps the experience cozy and inviting even when temperatures dip.
