FlavrQ ChipCharwood®

Please measure the area and the height inside your grill before ordering, as follows:

Area:  The FlavrQ Grid will fit a gas grill with a minimum inside measurement of 14 ½” in the direction parallel to the radiant bars/heating elements (typically front to back), and an inside measurement of at least 12” perpendicular to the radiant bars/heating elements (typically side to side). Larger grills may accommodate multiple FlavrQ Grids — please measure carefully before ordering.

Height: Measure the distance from the top of the radiant bar/heating element covers to the bottom of the cooking grate. The FlavrQ System should work if this distance is 1 1/4” to from 6”. When installed, the top of your cooking grate should be at least 1 ½” above the top of the FlavrQ Grid. 

Important: Never use the FlavrQ Grilling System without the protective radiant bar/heating element covers (triangular or flat) that came as original equipment with your gas grill in place. 

No, once the FlavrQ Grid is installed, you don’t need to move your grill’s grate except when occasionally cleaning residual ash. Fueling and refueling with our patented ChipCharwood® is a breeze—simply drop the charcoal chips through the grate onto the FlavrQ Grid.

For best results, we recommend a depth of  ½” to ¾” placed underneath the specific sections of the grate where the food will be grilled. Using a depth of less than ½” may reduce heat and flavor.

FlavrQ charcoal chips are designed for portion-controlled grilling. Spreading ChipCharwood® in sections where you’re not grilling food is unnecessary and wastes fuel.

Add your ChipCharwood® to the FlavrQ Grid before you ignite the grill.

Unlike conventional charcoal, you don’t need to wait until there’s gray ash. Start grilling as soon as the ChipCharwood® begins to glow.

For the best heat and flavor, set your gas grill at its highest heating level and keep it on high for the entire duration of the grilling session.

In most cases, you won’t need to add more FlavrQ charcoal chips. If you do need to refuel while grilling, simply add more of our charcoal chips for gas grills as needed. You can spoon or ladle the ChipCharwood® directly onto the existing base.

Use a spatula or your preferred grilling tool to push any remaining chips onto the FlavrQ Grid.

Yes, the FlavrQ Grid can remain in place even if you’re not using ChipCharwood®. In fact, it’ll even improve radiant heat distribution.

No, the FlavrQ Grilling System is designed for FlavrQ charcoal chips only. Using conventional charcoal may damage the FlavrQ Grid and will void your warranty.

Yes, the FlavrQ Grilling System is designed to facilitate professional-style grilling with three zones for flavor-searing, finishing, and holding. To prevent charring, be sure not to over-grill your food in the flavor-sear zone.

Because our charcoal chips for gas grills reduce residual ash by 90% compared to conventional charcoal, you should only need to clean the FlavrQ Grid after several grilling sessions. To ensure safe cleaning, wait at least one day after grilling to remove used charcoal chips and ash.

Store your FlavrQ ChipCharwood® in the driest possible location to prevent minor sparking. Avoid any environment that’s humid or damp.

No, ChipCharwood® is designed for gas grills only. Using ChipCharwood® with an electric grill is a fire hazard.

No, never combine our charcoal chips for gas grills with any other type of solid fuel.

The FlavrQ Starter Kit comes with two 2-lb bags of ChipCharwood® charcoal chips.
