The Napoleon Freestyle 4 is a four-burner gas barbecue for households that like plenty of power and a solid cast-iron cooking surface. It suits people who entertain a few times a summer and want to sear hard. The figure that stands out on its listing is 13.6 kW of output from four stainless steel burners, more than several rivals of a similar size.

In its favour
- Four stainless steel burners make two or three heat zones easy across the 60 x 45 cm grill.
- The stated 13,600 W is the highest output of the cart grills in this guide.
- Enamelled cast iron grates hold heat well for searing and are named in the listing.
Good to know
- The listing gives few details on lid height, side tables or storage, so check Napoleon's sheet.
- The seller notes delivery limits outside mainland UK, which matters for islands and the Highlands.
Our take
Listed specifications
Napoleon's Amazon listing is brief and to the point: a gas barbecue with an enamelled cast iron grill measuring 60 x 45 cm, a 13,600 W rating, four stainless steel burners and the Jetfire ignition system. The overall dimensions are about 132 x 64 x 116 cm and the weight is 52 kg.
That leaves a lot unsaid. There is nothing on lid height, side tables, storage, a thermometer or the grease system, so it is worth reading Napoleon's own product sheet before buying.
What the cast iron grill and power mean
Enamelled cast iron holds heat well and gives pronounced sear marks. Paired with four burners and 13.6 kW, it should recover quickly when you load a cold batch of burgers. A 60 x 45 cm grill is a good size for a family plus guests.
Four burners also mean flexible zones. You can run two hot and two low for a mix of direct and indirect cooking.
Ignition and delivery
Jetfire is Napoleon's name for its ignition system, intended to light each burner reliably at the turn of a knob. The listing gives no detail on how it works.
One practical note: the seller says some products cannot be delivered outside mainland UK, and that is confirmed at checkout. If you live on an island or in parts of the Highlands, check before you plan around it.
Next to the Weber and Campingaz four-burners
The Weber Genesis E-415 offers 14 kW from four PUREBLU burners with a more detailed listing. The Campingaz 4 Series Classic WLD is a four-burner at 12.8 kW. The Weber Spirit E-310 has one burner fewer but publishes its 2,326 cm² area. The Freestyle 4 stands out on power and its cast iron grill.
Verdict
The Freestyle 4 suits buyers who want four burners, strong output and a cast iron grill, and who are happy to check the details on Napoleon's own documentation. If you want a fully described listing and Weber's spares support, the Weber Genesis E-415 is the alternative, and the Weber Spirit E-310 is enough for smaller families.
