Napoleon 32″ Insulating Jacket for BIG32 700 Series — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Napoleon 32″ Insulating Jacket?
The 32″ Insulating Jacket (also known as the zero-clearance liner) is a fully welded stainless steel liner designed to surround the BIG32 700 Series built-in grill. It allows you to install combustible materials (like wood cabinetry) closer to the grill by reducing heat transfer to surrounding surfaces.
Why do I need the insulating jacket?
Without it, the high heat from the grill body can damage or ignite nearby combustible materials. The jacket creates a thermal barrier, enabling safer installation and greater flexibility in your outdoor kitchen design.
What is it made of and how is it constructed?
It is constructed from stainless steel and is fully welded, ensuring no seams or gaps that could allow excessive heat leakage.
How do I install the insulating jacket?
First place the insulating jacket into the cabinet opening or cutout. Then insert the BIG32 grill into the jacket, ensuring it's aligned, level, and flush with the front face. The liner should fully envelop the grill’s sides and base.
Does the jacket affect grill performance?
No — the insulating jacket is passive. It does not interfere with burners, airflow, or cooking performance. It only serves as a heat shield. However, you must continue to observe all manufacturer-specified clearances, ventilation, and service access requirements.
What are the dimensions and specs?
The jacket (model BI-3623-ZCL) has external dimensions 35.75″ W × 23″ D × 11.25″ H. It is designed to fit the 32″ built-in grill and works with the 700 Series models.
