Why is my Napoleon Grill not getting hot enough?

  If you experience low heat or low flame on your Napoleon Grill, the cause could be an improper lighting procedure, an undersized supply line (for natural gas), or improper preheating. Make sure to follow the lighting procedure carefully, ensuring all gas grill valves are off when you turn on the tank valve, and turn the tank on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. Preheat the grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes. For natural gas grills, ensure the pipe is sized according to the installation code.

  Excessive flare-ups or uneven heat on your Napoleon Grill may be due to sear plates installed incorrectly, improper preheating, or excessive grease and ash buildup. Ensure sear plates are installed with the holes towards the front and the slots on the bottom. Preheat the grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes. Clean sear plates and the drip pan regularly, and do not line the pan with aluminum foil.

  Charles KirbyAug 28, 2025
  If the infrared burner on your Napoleon Grill flashes back, it could be due to ceramic tiles overloaded with grease, clogged ports, overheating from inadequate ventilation, cracked ceramic tile or a leaking gasket. Turn the burner off and let it cool for at least two minutes. Relight the burner and burn on high for at least five minutes, or until the ceramic tiles are evenly glowing red. Make sure that no more than 75% of the grill surface is covered. If cracks are found, contact your authorized Napoleon dealer to order a replacement burner assembly.

Why is the heat low on my Napoleon Grill when the valve is on high?
- K
  Kathryn PatelSep 8, 2025
  Low heat or low flame on your Napoleon Grill when the valve is turned to high can be due to several reasons. If you are using propane, it might be due to an improper lighting procedure. If you are using natural gas, it could be an undersized supply line. For both propane and natural gas, it can be caused by improper preheating. Ensure the lighting procedure is followed carefully. All gas grill valves must be in the off position when the tank valve is turned on. Turn the tank on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. Preheat the grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.
