Napoleon P500 Stainless Steel Grates — Frequently Asked Questions
What are the P500 stainless steel grates?
These are a two-panel set of heavy-duty cooking grates made from 304 stainless steel, designed to directly replace or upgrade the stock grates on Napoleon Prestige P500 and PRO500 gas grills.
What are the key specs and dimensions?
The grates use 7 mm diameter rods and are made from durable 304 stainless steel.
Which Napoleon grills are they compatible with?
They are compatible with Prestige P500 and Prestige PRO500 series grills.
What advantages do these grates offer over cast iron or other materials?
Stainless steel grates offer better corrosion resistance, easier maintenance (less rusting), and good heat retention. They’re less likely to chip or degrade over time in outdoor environments compared to coated or cast iron grates.
How do I install or replace the grates?
Remove your existing cooking grates, then place the two stainless panels into the existing support rails or brackets in your grill. They are engineered to match the P500 spacing so no custom fitting should be needed.
How do I maintain and clean them?
After using the grill, run a burn-off cycle at high heat, then brush off residue using a soft to medium grill brush (non-abrasive). For deeper cleaning, remove the panels and soak in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly to avoid water spots.
