Abstract

A flavor plate is used in a gas barbecue to replace the ceramic briquettes or lava rock used previously. The grid that is located above the burner to support ceramic briquettes is also replaced by the flavor plate. The flavor plate has several vertical passages there through but is closed off immediately above a burner of the barbecue to prevent the juices from the food being cooked from contacting the burner.
