Size/Versatility
The LEX605 comes with 605 square inches of main cooking space and a 245 square inch warming rack for a combined total of 805 square inches of cooking space. It should be more than enough to feed a hungry family and a few close friends from the neighborhood. You can also check out this unit’s cousin, the Napoleon Burners Prestige PRO 665 natural gas grill, for even more cooking space.
Durability
Although the grill is constructed well, not all components are made from stainless steel which is something customers seem to be wanting more and more. You will find cast aluminum and porcelain enameled steel components on the cart legs and back panels, for example. Still, it’s built solid and there shouldn’t really be any problems. But you can check out the Bull Grill if you’re interested in all stainless steel construction.
Ease of Use
One of the best things about the Lex605 is the Jetfire Ignition System which safely, consistently, and reliably starts the grill. The grill also comes with a wide variety of accessories to enhance your grilling experience. These accessories include a charcoal tray if you enjoy the taste, a smoker tube you can fill with wood chips to layer the flavor, and a rotisserie kit!
Value
The LEX605 is a great value barbecue because it comes with a strong warranty. It has a lifetime warranty on the exterior housing and cooking grids and a 10-year warranty on the burners and flame tamers. After that warranty expires you’ll be treated to an additional five years of warranty where you can buy replacement burners and flame tamers at 50% of the cost.
