Broilmaster Qrave Q3 – Cast Aluminum Gas Grill Head & Smoker
A cast aluminum grill head and smoker built for true low-and-slow barbecue in a compact package.
A stainless steel oval burner puts out 25,000–26,500 BTUs of smooth, even heat across 695 in² of total cooking area — enough for ribs, brisket, poultry, and sides in a single session. The full-area stainless drip pan with drain valve catches drippings across the entire cookbox, nearly eliminating flare-ups while turning juices into flavorful smoke. Stainless charcoal grates let you add charcoal or wood chunks for hybrid-fuel cooking, and a built-in smoker tray for wood chips or pellets makes it easy to dial in a specific smoke profile. Multi-level stainless diamond grids adjust to two heights for fine-tuning distance from the heat. Built from thick cast aluminum for steady, hours-long temperature control, the Qrave Q3 is available in propane or natural gas and fits any compatible Broilmaster mounting.

Deep Dive — Drip Pan System & Hybrid Fuel Cooking►
Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum for True Low & Slow Cooking
Unlike stamped steel cookers, the Broilmaster Qrave Q3 uses a thick cast aluminum shell that holds heat steady for long cooks. That thermal stability is critical for maintaining the low temperatures and high moisture levels that classic barbecue demands.
Stainless Oval Burner & Full-Area Drip Pan Design
At the core of the Qrave Q3 is a stainless steel oval burner feeding a full-area stainless steel drip pan with drain valve. As juices and rendered fat fall onto the pan, they vaporize into rich smoke that bathes your food in flavor, while excess liquid flows to an external collection bucket.
Multi-Level Diamond Grids, Charcoal Grates & Smoker Tray
The Qrave Q3 includes dual stainless steel diamond cooking grids with 2-level adjustment so you can fine-tune distance from the heat for delicate fish, hearty cuts, or loaded racks of ribs. Stainless steel charcoal grates let you add charcoal or wood chunks for hybrid fuel cooking and deeper smoke profiles.
Fuel Flexibility & Easy, Reliable Operation
Available as both a propane gas grill head and a natural gas grill head, the Broilmaster Qrave Q3 adapts to your existing gas setup. A built-in temperature gauge, intuitive controls, and compatibility with all Broilmaster mountings make it simple to integrate the Qrave into a cart or built-in island.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take►
This one's for the cook chasing real barbecue, not just grill marks. The full-area drip pan and smoker tray are what set this apart from a standard gas grill — they're built specifically for the low, moist heat brisket and ribs need over long cooks. If you mostly want quick weeknight grilling, a standard Broilmaster grill head will suit you better and cost less. Worth knowing before you buy: this is a grill head only, so you'll need a compatible cart, post, or built-in mounting, and it's worth budgeting for the external drip bucket setup and any side burner or infrared add-ons separately.
- Barbecue enthusiasts who want real low-and-slow capability, not just searing
- Cooks who want hybrid fuel flexibility — gas, charcoal, and wood chips or pellets all in one grill
- Buyers who already have or are planning a compatible Broilmaster cart, post, or built-in mounting
- Anyone who wants a dedicated smoker tray rather than improvising with foil packets
