The tray sits directly on the grill burners, allowing fast light-up with gas and steady radiant heat from cast iron. Add wood chips for smoke while you grill with familiar gas controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the charcoal tray convert a gas grill for charcoal cooking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tray replaces the grill’s sear plates and cooking grids, resting over the burners so charcoal can be ignited with the gas flame. Once the briquettes or lump charcoal reach an even glow, you switch off the gas and continue cooking over the cast-iron bed. This creates a charcoal surface inside the existing gas housing without modifying the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRests on burners—no tools or permanent changes required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIgnites quickly using the bottom gas burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to work with Napoleon Prestige and LEX series\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast-iron mass holds and radiates heat evenly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat smoking options does this tray provide for adding wood flavor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside charcoal, the tray accommodates wood chips or chunks to infuse food with smoke while you grill. The cast-iron body helps maintain steady temperatures so wood smolders rather than flares, producing gentle smoke for taste layering.
