The Napoleon Prestige® PRO 825 RSBI is Napoleon’s largest dual-hood outdoor gas grill — a two-chamber cooking system that gives you a main gas grill head and a dedicated infrared sear station under a separate hood, a two-stage power side burner with reversible wok-ready cast iron grate, an integrated rear infrared rotisserie burner, 123,000 total BTU, and 1,260 sq in of total cooking area across both hoods. The dual-hood format is the defining feature: the primary hood handles everyday gas grilling, smoking (via integrated smoker tube and dedicated burner), and indirect roasting; the secondary hood houses two ceramic infrared sear burners that reach sear temperatures in seconds, plus a warming burner to hold finished food at serving temperature. A commercial-grade rotisserie is included. LED Spectrum NIGHT LIGHT™ color-changing knobs, an interior-lit soft-close storage cabinet, and an integrated ice bucket and cutting board in the right side shelf complete the setup. Lifetime limited warranty. Available in Natural Gas or Propane.

Product Highlights
The Dual-Hood System: How It Works
Most gas grills have one cooking chamber under one hood. The Prestige PRO 825 RSBI has two — a primary cooking chamber with 4 main burners, an integrated smoker, and an indirect roasting setup, and a secondary chamber with two ceramic infrared bottom burners and a warming burner. The two chambers operate independently: you can run indirect heat in the primary chamber for a slow roast while running the infrared sear station at maximum temperature simultaneously, then move the roast to the warming burner in the secondary chamber while you sear the final crust.
Two-Stage Power Side Burner: Wok-Ready
The side burner’s reversible cast iron grate is a practical detail: the concave (bowl) side up cradles a round-bottom wok, holding it stable over the burner for proper wok cooking. Flip it flat-side up for standard pots and pans. The two-stage power output means you can run the burner at a simmer for delicate sauces or full power for boiling, wok cooking, or rapid reduction.
LED Spectrum NIGHT LIGHT™ Knobs
The LED Spectrum NIGHT LIGHT™ control knobs have near-limitless color options — set a single color, cycle through the full spectrum, or synchronize with your outdoor entertaining theme. Beyond the entertainment feature, the knobs serve the same safety function as SafetyGlow™: they glow red when the gas is on, providing an immediate visual indicator that a burner is running.
Integrated Smoker & Rotisserie
A dedicated smoker tube and burner under the main hood convert the primary chamber to a smoker without a separate unit. The rear infrared rotisserie burner with the included commercial-grade kit provides even radiant heat for full turkeys and large roasts.
Storage & Prep Extras
The interior-lit cabinet with soft-close doors stores BBQ accessories, and the right side shelf integrates an ice bucket and cutting board — drinks stay cold and prep space is built in without a separate prep table.

Ideal For
- Serious outdoor cooks who want two independent cooking zones — a full gas grill chamber and a dedicated infrared sear station — operating simultaneously from one unit
- Those who entertain regularly at 8+ guests where 1,260 sq in of total cooking area and simultaneous multi-zone cooking is genuinely necessary
- Outdoor cooks who want the power side burner for wok cooking, sauces, and side dishes running alongside the main grill without a separate outdoor burner setup
- Outdoor kitchen builds where a 94.25" wide Napoleon grill is the centerpiece and raw cooking capacity and dual-zone workflow matter more than smart technology features
Important Information
Choose your fuel type carefully: select Natural Gas if your outdoor space has a permanent gas line connection; select Propane if you use portable propane tanks. Fuel type cannot be converted after purchase.
Gas connections must be installed in accordance with local codes and the manufacturer’s instructions. Check gas connections and hoses annually for cracks or wear, and replace immediately if any damage is found.
The grill measures 94.25" W x 25.50" D x 51" H (56" H with lid open) — confirm your space accommodates the full footprint and lid clearance before ordering.
Use a purpose-fit 94"+ grill cover when the grill is not in use for extended periods.
Empty the drip trays below both hoods regularly — grease accumulation in drip trays is the primary fire hazard in outdoor gas grills.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 825 RSBI and the 665 Elite?
The 825 RSBI is the larger, higher-capacity grill built around a dual-hood format with two independent cooking chambers. The 665 Elite is the smarter, more technology-forward grill with app control, Smart Mode automation, and an electric smoker box. Key differences: the 825 has two hoods (main grill + dedicated infrared sear station) vs. the 665’s single hood; the 825 has 1,260 sq in total cooking area vs. ~666 sq in for the 665; the 825 has a two-stage power side burner, the 665 does not; the 665 has full app control, Smart Mode, wireless probe monitoring, and an electric smoker box, the 825 does not. Choose the 825 for raw cooking capacity, dual-zone workflow, and the power side burner; choose the 665 for smart technology, app control, and the electric smoker box.
Can I convert from propane to natural gas after purchase?
No. The 825 RSBI is configured at the factory for either natural gas or propane. The fuel-specific orifices, regulators, and fittings are not interchangeable and conversion kits are not available for this model. Choose the correct fuel type at purchase based on your outdoor kitchen setup.
Does the infrared sear station replace a separate infrared grill?
For most outdoor cooks, yes. The secondary hood’s two ceramic infrared bottom burners reach the high sear temperatures required for a steakhouse-quality crust — the same result you’d get from a standalone infrared grill. The warming burner in the secondary hood lets you hold finished food at serving temperature while other items finish on the main grill. The dual-hood setup effectively combines a full gas grill and a standalone infrared sear grill in one unit.
How does the battery-free ignition work?
The battery-free ignition uses a piezoelectric jet-of-flame system — pressing the igniter generates a spark that produces a jet of flame to light the burner immediately, without batteries. There are no battery compartments to maintain and no igniter failures from dead or corroded batteries — a common point of failure on battery-powered ignition systems after a season or two of outdoor exposure.
The Napoleon Prestige® PRO 825 RSBI is outdoor grilling at maximum scale — two independent cooking chambers, 123,000 BTU, 1,260 sq in, a dedicated infrared sear station, a wok-ready power side burner, commercial rotisserie, color-changing LED knobs, and a battery-free ignition that starts every time. For those who have outgrown one hood.
