The Napoleon Professional 22 Charcoal Kettle brings serious charcoal-grilling capability into a compact and flexible form, and it also offers the refined control outdoor chefs appreciate. With a 22-inch diameter cooking area, the Napoleon Professional 22 Charcoal Kettle provides ample space for searing, slow-roasting, smoking, and everything in between. Whether you’re crafting burgers for friends or doing low-and-slow ribs, this kettle grill adapts with ease.

First, the approximately 360 sq in of total cooking area gives you room to grill confidently without taking over your patio. Additionally, the hinged cooking grids allow for easy access — add charcoal or wood chips mid-cook without removing the grate. Meanwhile, the iconic WAVE™ cast-iron cooking grids hold heat beautifully and produce deep sear marks on steaks and vegetables.

Moreover, precision temperature control is built in. The PRO22K features a Vortex heat-management system to improve convection airflow and fuel efficiency. Combined with the Smoke Stack Chimney and adjustable stainless-steel air vents, you gain reliable control over both direct high-heat grilling and indirect low-heat smoking. At the same time, the porcelain-enameled lid and bowl offer durability and heat retention for consistent performance.

Also, the stainless steel extension ring supports rotisserie–ready setups, giving you added flexibility if you decide to roast whole chickens or larger cuts. The cool-touch handle adds practical safety, and the heavy-steel removable ash catcher simplifies cleanup after every cook.

Whether you’re grilling a brisk steak or smoking ribs slowly through the evening, the Napoleon Professional 22 Charcoal Kettle gives you features and materials built for serious charcoal performance. Ultimately, by choosing this kettle you’re selecting a grill that blends professional-grade capability, smart design, and compact footprint into one high-performance package.
