Product Information

We could wax poetic for a while regarding all of the amazing things you can do using a Napoleon gas barbecue. But, one thing you won’t be expecting is what’s coming next. What if we told you that you can grill a meal on your gas barbecue, using charcoal! How mouthwatering! All Napoleon grills are made to withstand the heat produced by charcoal. The charcoal tray fits easily into your gas grill just above the burners, in place of one sear plate.

Royal Gourmet has a history of producing attractive grills, and this 3-burner combo is no different. High-Quality Charcoal– Try to use high-quality lump charcoal instead of charcoal briquettes. Briquettes are usually coated and filled with chemicals to ignite faster and burn faster than lump coal. This is generally less than ideal for your grill.

The big test comes when you put the starter chimney full of coals in the middle of the tray. That's the maximum weight your tray will normally see - and in this case I had no bowing in either direction. I ran a complete set of coals through an entire heating cycle to burn off any oils or whatever before using it. Gas and charcoal is the number one priority here, but some models also add wood pellets as an added third fuel source. Streamlining your appliances from two grill to one simply by investing in a hybrid is a great way to stay organized, time-efficient, and clear-headed. Usually combo grills are listed as a combination between a charcoal and a gas grill. Not so with the Smoke Hollow. This unit is listed as a combination of an incredible FOUR types of BBQ: Propane, Charcoal, Smoker, and Infrared Searing Burner.

Frustratingly, not all hybrids have dampers and will instead have a different airflow system. I have yet to find a setup for charcoal grilling that works as well as dampers, so I recommend only getting a model that has these in place. Easy Access to Charcoal A gas BBQ gives you control over your cooking. You can alter the temperature, which makes it easier to grill more delicate foods such as vegetables and fish. Then consider what you’ll need while cooking. Some have shelves or hooks for tools, so you can keep everything you need nearby. It has a whopping 860 square inches of cooking space, which is incredible compared to almost any other grill or smoker we’ve seen.

Easy access to coals tends to be standard in simple charcoal grills, but this isn’t always the case with combo grills. Having a lot of different components can compromise some features, and this is often charcoal tray or bin. Not only that, but its durable insulated, making its heat retention outstanding. Royal Gourmet ZH3002-S 3-Burner Ideal for grilling burgers and steaks but we thought we might try something a little more challenging. No, you can’t use charcoal fuel in a standard gas or propane grill. Gas grills are not designed to take on other fuels besides propane gas. If this is your first foray into the gas-charcoal hybrid world, it can be a bit daunting trying to cut through the noise and find exactly what you need.

It’s great for large families or even for those of us who like to show off a bit with our home equipment.It won't offer the same smoky flavour or reach the same high temperatures as a charcoal BBQ, so may not brown and sear your food in the same way. However, the lower temperatures of a gas BBQ are an advantage if you want to cook joints of meat for a longer period using rotisserie accessories. As I said in the beginning, it's been through about 3 months of regular grilling season and another 3 months of winter (with a few more grillings) and as you can see in the last photo, it's holding up great. I'm hoping to get three years about of this new tray before I would need to do another. So far, so good! Build your own patio / garden BBQ with this DIY BBQ grill set including charcoal ash collection tray, charcoal grid and chrome plated cooking grill (with handles) plus Building instructions. Most BBQs have one or two, and if there is a side burner, look to see if there’s a cover that will convert it into a workspace. They add extra size to your BBQ but some fold down, which helps if space is at a premium.
