Broil King Baron / Crown Flav-R-Wave™ – Stainless Steel

Made from durable stainless steel, this genuine Broil King replacement part sits above the burner to shield it from grease and food drippings. As juices contact the hot Flav-R-Wave, they vaporize and circulate back around the food, helping create the distinctive grilled flavour Broil King is known for.

How the Broil King Flav-R-Wave System Works
The Flav-R-Wave is positioned between the cooking grids and the burner.
During grilling, fat and juices fall from the food onto the heated stainless-steel surface. The drippings are vaporized, creating flavourful smoke that circulates inside the cookbox and returns to the food.
The Flav-R-Wave also acts as a barrier between the food and burner, helping protect the burner from grease, sauces and cooking debris.
Broil King Baron / Crown Flav-R-Wave Benefits
Replacing a damaged or heavily deteriorated Flav-R-Wave can help restore several important grill functions:
-
More consistent heat distribution
-
Improved burner protection
-
Better vaporization of food drippings
-
Enhanced grilled flavour
-
Reduced exposure of burners to grease
-
Improved overall cooking performance
A worn or damaged heat medium may create uneven hot spots and leave the burner more exposed to grease and debris.

-

-
Broil King Crown series grills
-
Models equipped with Broil King Dual-Tube burners

How Many Flav-R-Waves Do I Need?
This product is sold individually and includes one Flav-R-Wave.
Most compatible grills use more than one Flav-R-Wave because each main burner normally has its own heat shield. Check your grill before ordering to determine how many pieces need replacement.
For the most consistent performance, replace all severely worn Flav-R-Waves when they are in similar condition.
When Should You Replace a Flav-R-Wave?
Consider replacing the Flav-R-Wave when you notice:
-
Large holes in the stainless steel
-
Significant rust or corrosion
-
Sections beginning to collapse
-
Warping that prevents proper placement
-
Excessive deterioration
-
Uneven heating caused by a damaged heat medium
-
Burners becoming directly exposed to grease
Surface discolouration from heat and normal cooking is expected and does not necessarily mean the part requires replacement.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Allow the grill to cool completely before handling the Flav-R-Wave.
Remove the cooking grids and brush loose debris from the stainless-steel surface. Stubborn buildup can be removed carefully with an appropriate grill-cleaning tool.
Avoid using harsh chemicals that may leave residue inside the cookbox. Follow the cleaning and maintenance directions in your Broil King owner’s manual.
Inspect the Flav-R-Waves regularly for holes, severe corrosion or structural damage.
