Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier kzfaq.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.

Completely agree with you on the single handed start up of the Jetfire. Starting to notice they're wearing out in my dad's Prestige that is a few years old, so on the burners where the individual lighter is not working, you can't just press a central button to spark all the burners, which results in having one or two lit and inevitably having to blow the fire over to the other burners at risk of eyebrows (because who has time for actual BBQ lighters?).

I have the Freestyle 425 with a side burner (basic one, not the sizzle), my dad has the Rogue 525 with the sizzle zone, this is because of him if I bought a Napoleon. Both grills come from the european catalogue, maybe there are differences vs US catalogue as you said in the video. To be honnest the quality of the Freestyle is really good for the price, compare to the Rogue there isn't a big gap! Maybe for someone who is going to cook every day then yes after 10years we'll see the difference, but that's all. I prefer the Freestyle because of: Two big wheels, you can easily move the grill in the grass compare to the Rogue, really appreciated when you're young and still not equipped with a beautiful wooden deck... Price, 720€ vs 1190€ (Rogue similar version), both are at the fair price but the Freestyle is extremely similar in performances. No doors, this isn't the best look but on a unflat ground the Rogue's doors are not well aligned and you can damaged the coating when using doors in such case, just no problem with the Freestyle. What I would have liked: Same power than the Rogue on the main grill (13,6kW vs 16,6kW) even if due to the aluminum case the power is enought. A back panel, but cost reduction... The main grill surface is slightly smaller on the Freestyle, this isn't mentionned everywhere, the Rogue is more appropriate when all your friends are here! I guess that's all, hope it'll be usefull for people who hesitate between both. Rendez-vous in 10 years in order to compare the robustness of each! A french guy with Napoleon at home, cocorico... oh no that one comes from Canada.
