Napoleon Built-In 700 Series Dual Infrared Burner with Stainless Steel Cover

The Napoleon Built-In 700 Series Dual Infrared Burner with Stainless Steel Cover adds a powerful dedicated searing station to a custom outdoor kitchen while keeping the main grill available for other foods. Available for Natural Gas or Propane, this 18-inch built-in side burner uses two infrared SIZZLE ZONE® burners producing 30,000 total BTUs, giving you plenty of high-heat cooking space for steaks, chops, seafood, vegetables and more.

The Infrared SIZZLE ZONE® can reach temperatures up to 1,800°F in approximately 30 seconds. That intense radiant heat is ideal for quickly developing a deep, flavorful crust on steaks while helping keep the inside juicy and tender. It also gives you a convenient way to sear food separately while the main grill is being used for roasting, indirect cooking or lower-temperature grilling.

With approximately 310 square inches of cooking space, the burner provides a generous 17.5-inch by 18-inch cooking surface. There is enough room for up to 19 four-inch burgers, making this much more than a small side burner. It can serve as a second cooking station when entertaining or preparing several parts of a meal at the same time.

The cooking surface features substantial 9.5 mm shot-blasted stainless steel Iconic WAVE™ cooking grids. Their curved design provides excellent durability and heat retention while helping keep smaller foods from slipping between the grids. The stainless steel construction is also well suited to outdoor use and produces the distinctive sear marks associated with Napoleon grills.

Although high-temperature searing is the main attraction, the BIB18IR is useful for much more. The extra cooking area can handle vegetables, seafood and other grilled foods, while also giving you another heat source when preparing complete outdoor meals. Adding a separate built-in burner makes it easier to keep different foods cooking at the temperatures they need without overcrowding the main grill.

Starting the burners is quick and straightforward with JETFIRE™ instant ignition. The simple control system makes it easy to bring the infrared burners up to temperature whenever additional cooking space or intense searing heat is needed.

SafetyGlow™ control knobs make the burner easier to use after dark while providing a helpful visual reminder when the burners are operating. The knobs illuminate blue and change to red when the corresponding burner is on. When installed alongside compatible Built-In 700 Series components, the illuminated controls help create a coordinated look across the outdoor kitchen.

The burner is built with premium stainless steel construction and a clean built-in trim that blends neatly into a custom countertop. Its 18-inch format works well as a companion to a Napoleon built-in grill or as part of a larger outdoor cooking layout with multiple dedicated cooking zones.

A stainless steel protective cover is included to protect the cooking surface when the burner is not being used. The cover also gives the countertop a cleaner, finished appearance between cooking sessions. For additional outdoor protection, the Napoleon 61818 fitted burner cover is available separately.

The illuminated control knobs require a power connection. When the burner is installed without being connected to a compatible Built-In 700 Series grill, the N370-1091-SER Power Supply Kit is required. If the burner is installed more than 3 feet from a compatible Built-In 700 Series grill, the N750-0087 3-foot extension wire can be used for the lighting connection.

For a standard installation, the required opening is approximately 18 to 20 inches wide, 19.4 to 19.75 inches deep and 10.25 inches high. When using the BI-2423-ZCL zero clearance liner, the opening is approximately 22 inches wide by 21.38 inches deep by 10.38 inches high. Always confirm final dimensions, countertop construction, ventilation and clearances before fabrication begins.

Fuel Options: Model BIB18IRNSS is configured for Natural Gas, while model BIB18IRPSS is configured for Propane Gas. Both versions include the same dual infrared cooking system, stainless steel construction, WAVE™ cooking grids and stainless steel protective cover.
