Broilmaster Q3X Qrave Grill On Stainless Steel Storage Cart - Q3XN PSCB1 SKFPB2

Features

• Built to slow cook: run one knob on LOW for about 220-250°F, which Broilmaster says can cook for more than 50 hours on one propane tank.
• Stainless steel oval burner, 25,000-26,500 BTU: two valve knobs give a hot side and a low side, from searing at about 450-550°F down to smoking temperatures.
• Full-area stainless drip pan with drain valve: keeps drippings off the burner to prevent flare-ups, holds water or marinade for steaming, and drains to an external drip bucket.
• Built-in smoker tray: load wood chips or pellets from the front without lifting the lid; the left burner sits under it.
• Heavy-duty cast aluminum head: holds a steady temperature through a long cook and carries a limited lifetime warranty against rust-through on the housing.
• PSCB1 stainless steel storage cart: enclosed base with a door and magnet catch, propane tank retainer, grease drip tray and four casters, two with brakes.
• SKFPB2 drop-down side shelf: black solid surface shelf on painted supports, rated for about 25 lb, that folds down when not in use.

Specifications

Installation planning

• Choose the spot: outdoors only, at least 16" from combustible material at the sides and 18" at the back (fences, furniture and house walls count), and never in a building, garage, recreational vehicle or boat, or under a carport, covered porch, awning or overhang. Keep the area clear and never store gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids near the grill.
• Cart assembly (B102237): attach the walls to the base, then the stabilizing bracket, ignitor shield, stiffener brackets, side panels and door, set the head and its bottom casting, fit the heat shield, flex hose and coupling, then the tank retainer and drip tray. For a Q3X, break out the rectangle in the cart heat shield as the cart instructions describe. Tools: 3/8", 7/16" and 3/4" wrenches, a 5/16" driver and a Phillips bit. Parts can have sharp edges, so wear leather work gloves. To mount the cart to a patio instead, remove the four screws from each caster and keep them.
• Side shelf (B102239): hang the shelf brackets on the lower pins of the bracket attach assembly and tighten; 3/8" and 7/16" wrenches and a Phillips bit. Do not load the shelf with more than about 25 lb.
• Propane: use a standard 20 lb cylinder only (no larger), built to D.O.T. or CAN/CSA-B339 specifications, with an overfill protection device and a Type 1 connection, filled to no more than 80%. Secure it with the tank retainer.
• Natural gas: Broilmaster natural gas grills have no pressure regulator and run at 7" water column manifold pressure. Use the supplied cart flex hose and coupling with a 12 ft quick-disconnect hose (NG12) to a shut-off valve close to the grill, installed by your gas company or a licensed contractor to the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1) and local codes; close the valve when the grill is not in use. Never use propane in a natural gas grill or the reverse. Disconnect the grill for supply pressure tests above 1/2 PSIG and isolate it at or below 1/2 PSIG; leak-test every connection with soapy water, never a flame.
• Lighting: open the lid, turn both knobs to OFF, turn on the gas supply, then push and turn a knob to HI and hold the ignitor button for about 5 seconds. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn it off, wait 5 minutes and try again; it can also be lit with a match through the lighter hole.
• Slow cooking and smoking (B102233): set the grids in the high position, close the drain valve and add water or marinade to the drip pan, preheat with both knobs on HI for 15 minutes, then turn the right knob off and the left knob (the one under the smoker box) to LOW. Add water-soaked wood chips to the smoker box from the front as needed (a load lasts about an hour) and turn the food about once an hour. Broilmaster's guide: one knob on LOW about 220-250°F for slow cooking and smoking; both LOW about 320-350°F and both MEDIUM about 375-425°F for roasting and baking; both HIGH about 450-550°F for grilling and steaming (wind and outdoor temperature change the results).

Care: Burn off residue on HI with the lid closed for about 10 minutes, or until it stops smoking (never more than 30 minutes), then let it cool before opening. Brush the grids with a brass or stainless brush while warm. Clean the drip pan as needed, about every 10 uses, and keep the drain pipe and valve clear with a flexible drain brush; empty the drip bucket regularly. Remove the grids and drip pan to clean the inside once or twice a year. Inspect and clean the burner venturi tubes at least twice a year, more often when spiders are active, and adjust the air shutter after 5 minutes of running until the flame is blue with defined cones. Clean the lid heat indicator once a season; to recalibrate it, set the probe in boiling water and adjust it to read 212°F.

Warranty

Broilmaster limited warranty for Premium gas grills, which Broilmaster lists as including the Q3X: limited lifetime against rust-through on the cast aluminum grill housing (paint excluded), the stainless steel cooking grids, and select stainless steel components, including carts and mountings and stainless built-in components; limited 10 years against rust-through on the Q-Series stainless steel burner and the Q-Series stainless steel drip pan; limited 5 years against rust-through on painted electro-galvanized steel components; limited 1 year on valves, knobs, ignitors, labels, hoses, fittings, grease cups, drip buckets and other parts, and on the paint of the aluminum grill head.

The grill must be installed by a qualified installer or technician and operated and maintained as the manual describes, and the manual limits coverage to the original purchaser. Keep your bill of sale: a claim needs the model number, serial number, gas type and proof of purchase date, made through the installing dealer. Not covered: damage from misuse, improper installation, storage or maintenance; unauthorized service or parts; removal and reinstallation; service calls, labor, travel, diagnostic and freight costs. Using lighter fluid voids the warranty. Full terms are in the Q3X owner's manual (B102233) and on Broilmaster's warranty page.
