Use Charcoal in Your Gas Grill With the FlavrQ Grilling System

We recommend leaving the FlavrQ Grid in place so it’s always ready when you’re in the mood to use charcoal in your gas grill. The Grid also improves radiant heat distribution even if you’re not using our ChipCharwood®.

Only clean the FlavrQ Grid when there’s no heat—before you grill or the day after. Because ChipCharwood® reduces residual ash by 90% compared to traditional charcoal, you shouldn’t need to clean the ash very frequently.

Not at all! The FlavrQ Grid can be removed just as quickly and easily as it was installed.

Never use traditional charcoal in your gas grill. The FlavrQ Grid is only compatible with our ChipCharwood®. Using any type of non-FlavrQ fuel, including traditional charcoal, wood pellets, or wood chips, will invalidate your warranty and could cause serious damage to the FlavrQ Grid and your grill.

No, the FlavrQ system is designed only for gas grills. Using our products with an electric grill is a serious hazard risk.

The FlavrQ Grid includes a 6-month limited warranty.

The FlavrQ system doesn’t just make gas-grilled food taste like it was cooked on a charcoal grill. When you use FlavrQ charcoal in your gas grill, you can look forward to it reaching temperatures over 100° higher than before. It also sears and seals food 50% faster. 

With this in mind, you may want to monitor your food closer than usual as you get used to your grill’s enhanced performance.

ChipCharwood® uses approximately 75% less fuel than traditional charcoal, so it should provide plenty of heat for most grilling sessions. If you’re grilling all day, refueling is as easy as spooning more chips onto the FlavrQ Grid through the grill’s grates, just like before.

After you use our charcoal in your gas grill, put the bag in a dry location away from humidity and moisture. FlavrQ ChipCharwood® stores conveniently—it takes up less than 1/10 of the space of bulky charcoal briquette bags!

Maximize efficiency by spreading ChipCharwood® only in the locations where you’ll place your food. Try to match the spread to your food’s shape and size. You can adjust the depth to increase or decrease heat. More chips = more heat. 

Don’t go above ¾” high. Most users find that ½”-¾” is the ideal depth to make gas-grilled food taste like it’s charcoal-grilled.

When you use our charcoal in your gas grill, simply ignite it the same as usual at its highest setting. Within approximately three minutes, the chips will produce heat, and the edges will glow red. At that point, you can turn down the heat and wait until your desired temperature is reached or start grilling on high heat.
