Rogue® PRO Series Models Breakdown
Choosing the right Rogue® PRO model depends on your available space, family size, and grilling style. Here’s a look at what each offers:
Napoleon Rogue® PRO 425 SIB
The Rogue PRO 425 SIB is a compact powerhouse designed for small patios or everyday family cooking. With three main burners and an infrared side burner, it puts out up to 51,000 BTUs across approximately 710 square inches of total cooking space. The high-top lid accommodates larger cuts of meat, and the SIZZLE ZONE™ side burner is perfect for searing or boiling sides. It's an ideal choice for those who want performance without overcommitting on space.
A step up in both size and capability, the Rogue PRO 525 SIB features four main burners, an infrared side burner, and a total cooking area of roughly 850 square inches.

The largest in the PRO lineup, the Rogue PRO 625 SIB offers five burners, a massive 980+ square inches of total cooking area, and both an infrared side burner and a rear rotisserie burner. It’s built for serious grillers who want full versatility — searing, roasting, baking, or even slow-turning rotisserie chicken. Spacious side shelves, integrated bottle opener, and heavy-duty hardware round out this elite performer.

If you want premium-grade performance without the premium price tag, Rogue PRO is a smart choice.

Fits perfectly and even has cut outs to where the wheels are on the stand, which allows you to lock the wheels when the cover is on! The material is high quality and looks fantastic. Shipping was a breeze too.
Love this first torch! We bought 8 of them for our backyard walkway and it gives the lord of the rings vibe I was looking for. Thank you for Derell at Agent BBQ for helping me select the torch that fit my style needs and for the best price.
Beautiful grill from Fire Magic. Due to the size of my family and my cooking abilities, I was looking for a gas and charcoal combo grill. Not many brands make durable built-in like this. I've used it a few times now and I can say it is a good buy.
