There are two kinds of barbecue enthusiasts – those who welcome the refreshing touch of a brisk autumn breeze and ignite their grills amidst the vibrant fall foliage, and those who have yet to discover that barbecue season extends beyond Labour Day.

Even as autumn marches towards winter and your backyard is blanketed in a tapestry of fallen leaves, there’s no need to limit your culinary adventures to the indoor kitchen. You can kindle the flames of your grill and relish the delicious feasts that conjure the sun-kissed flavours of a midsummer’s day.

Amidst the vivid canvas of a vibrant Canadian autumn, firing up your grill can become the next great fall tradition. As the evening falls early, there’s no better time of the year to don your coziest sweater and enjoy a grilled meal with your loved ones.

Fall presents a fantastic chance to master the art of grilling substantial cuts of meat that require a patient touch – imagine a succulent roast beef or a tender chicken that can be slowly cooked at a low temperature using indirect heat. (Keep in mind, the more you open the lid, the more heat you lose; you will get the best results if you can get the grill to optimal temperature and leave the lid closed for as long as possible.)

Napoleon offers some other tips and advice for premium autumn grilling:

1. Keep the grill outside — No matter how brisk the temperature becomes, do not set up your barbecue in your garage, shed or any enclosed space. Embrace the brisk temperature and the opportunity to grill amid a gentle scattering of autumn leaves – it’s a fundamental aspect of the autumn grilling experience. Use your leaf blower to quickly clear any debris before you ignite the flames.
2. Get it hot – Even if the Weather Network reports a brisk 6°C outside, don’t be discouraged from firing up the barbecue to reach a sizzling 500°F; it just may require a bit more patience. Once you have reached an optimal temperature, get your food on the grill quickly and close the lid.
3. Be patient – Autumn grilling is different than throwing some burgers on the barbecue in the middle of summer. Cold air temperatures mean it will take longer for your grill to reach optimum cooking temperature, and every time you open the lid you will lose valuable heat. But that also means it is ideal for trying a dish like these delicious smoky maple ribs.
4. Get the right equipment – Heat resistant gloves will both keep your hands warm and protect you from the heat of the grill. With the early onset of dusk, chances are you will need additional light. If your barbecue doesn’t come equipped with its own light, there are lights you can attach to the grill to improve visibility. If you are cooking a big cut of meat like a roast or whole chicken on indirect heat, keep an eye on the temperature without having to constantly lift the lid with a Bluetooth thermometer. It allows you to monitor the temperature of your meat from the comfort of your warm living room.

Choosing the right grill for cooking in the autumn season and beyond is crucial. High-quality stainless steel offers durability and resistance to rust, but also can withstand hot and cold temperatures. Napoleon grills are proudly crafted in Canadawith an understanding what needs to go into them to make sure they not only withstand cool weather cooking, but also excel in extreme temperatures.

A fireplace is a literal game changer for mental and physical health and well-being.

No matter the room where one is placed, it immediately becomes the focal point. But it offers so much more than aesthetic value and warmth during cooler autumn evenings. According to research by two leading research universities — the University of Alabama and the University of Illinois — commissioned by Napoleon, sitting near a fireplace is good for human health and well-being. The Power of Fire studies found sitting near a fireplace helps lower blood pressure and reduce stress, while improving brain function and mental wellness.

“Stress is ever-present, and seeking ways to alleviate the effects of that is conducive to living a fulfilling, healthy lifestyle,” says Garry Scott, Vice-President of Marketing at Napoleon. “Many may not have considered how a fireplace can help with this, and how easy it can be to add one — especially an electric one — to the home to create a more calming, relaxing environment.”

Advancement in fireplace technology makes it easy to place a fireplace in any room, in any style of home. Whether a traditional wood-burning fireplace in a century-old brick house, a stylish natural gas fireplace in a suburban townhome or an electric fireplace making a downtown condo cozy, there is a fireplace that can bring all the health and comfort benefits to the home.

This fall, and with October noted as Fireplace Month, Napoleon is launching several new additions to its already extensive lineup of fireplace options:

1. Ascent Linear Premium — Add a contemporary and luxurious look with that Ascent Linear gas fireplace. Style it with your choice of hand-painted driftwood, birch, oak logs, or scintillating glass crystals. Further enhance and customize this linear fireplace with gorgeous additional options like beach fire, shore fire, and beautiful mineral rocks.
2. Tall Linear Vector — A premium linear gas fireplace that spans 24” in height, making it an impactful addition to large rooms and commercial spaces. Tall flames fill the fireplace for a stunning appearance while maintaining heat output, allowing for a more efficient use of gas. It features a wide selection of ultra-realistic logs or an LED ember bed where any colour imaginable can be selected to match décor, any occasion or any mood.
3. Entice — Completely transform your space with a wall-mount Entice electric fireplace. Newly upgraded, the Entice series is a work of art. The sparkling glass ember bed reflects beautiful flames that can be refreshing blue, sunny orange or something in between. Control mood and temperature easily with the included remote control. Protruding only five inches off the wall when hung, or install fully recessed, an Entice electric fireplace is ideal for anywhere a gas fireplace can’t go, adding shine and luxury to a space.
4. Astound Electric Built-In Fireplace — Launching in October, the Astound is a built-in electric fireplace featuring a never-before-seen design. Consumers can easily open the front glass to add and change the media/décor based on their unique style, special occasion or season. Including realistic elements like flames that spark and authentic logs/media. It is easy to install in any space as venting and gas lines are not required.
5. Altitude X — A full view, traditional gas fireplace, the Altitude X has been upgraded to offer a more premium experience – improved design, flames and logs. Featuring extensive design customization with a collection of realistic logs, brick panels, trims to choose from. It can also be conveniently controlled with the eFIRE mobile app.
6. Altitude — The newly upgraded Altitude is designed for visual pleasure. It is a traditional-style fireplace with a multitude of customizable options. Installation is easy and the clean-faced design provides expansive views of the firebox without obstruction. The hand-painted, split oak log set comes standard, plus a variety of optional decorative brick panels.
