Convert gas grill Napoleon PHANTOM to external power supply
My Napoleon P500 gas grill will be the centerpiece of my new backyard kitchen. The outdoor kitchen is still under construction, but I already have to think about installing the gas barbecue. In addition to the work surface of the Napoleon Prestige 500 – which should be at the same level as the rest of the worktop – the ventilation of the gas grill and the supply of gas and electricity must also be considered and planned.

This measure was not only intended to bring visual improvements, but also to ensure the stability of the slope. In this context, the construction of a solid strip foundation was essential in order to guarantee permanent slope stabilization.
