I have been using this grill for 3 years now and have been generally satisifed. I have not been satified with previous gas grills for various reasons, but this grill was good enought to get me to put away the carcoal.

I do have several suggested improvements for this grill.

1. The battery operated ignition system has failed twice in 3 years and it is not covered under warentee. The battery replacement is very difficult as you must press a 9v battery up into a closed plastic box. The plastic is flexible so, I feared breaking the plastic if I pushed too hard or not seating the battery correctly if I pushed too softly. A redisn is in order.

2. I am 6'2" and when the hood cover is open, the curved shape forces the heat and smoke directly into my face. I have taken to doing deep knee bends while I work the grill. I thus burn a few extra calories before dinner. Nevertheless, this is my biggest problem with the grill.

3. The grill temperature is relatively even over the entire surface, but there are a few cool spots that I just take into my food placement.

4. The burner sensitivity is not as good as I would like. The searing high temperature is excellent, and I feel no need to purchase one of the units that promote extra hot searing. The grill, does, however go from hot to cool a little too quickly and it would be nice to have a little more burner control.

I installed my DCS grill a couple of weeks ago, which I bought to replace an older built-in Turbo 36". The DCS unit is much more solid and beefy and required a larger opening to be cut out. The stainless steel sheet metal is much thicker than the previous grill, and in many places is also double-walled. All of the edges are nicely folded over and smooth, and the hinges have bearings. Impressively built overall.

No problems with hookup--it comes with a presure regulator and an assortment of fittings. Only minor tweaking was needed to get the airflow right for the burners.

The burners are very easy to light--the electic ignitor sparks on all burners, so you can light them in any order. And they cross-light once one is going. The amount of heat produced is quite impressive. I used to have my old grill on high much of the time to get up to temperature, but with this unit, half power is enough for most cooking.

The rotisserie is also very nice. Really solid, and includes a light to illuminate the grill surface. The infrared burner produces enough heat on its own to roast most anything on the rotisserie.

I have had this grill now for 9 months and have loved every moment of it. It is very sturdy heavy stainless steel. The lid is very substantial. Plenty of grilling room. It has two burners so that you can use only 1/2 of the grill if you are only cooking for 4 and all the grill if you are cooking for 20!

Easy to clean the drip pan. I slide it out and just hose it off. I did not get the cart we have it built into our screen porch. I also have not used the rotisserie yet so I cannot comment on it. The built in light is nice when it get dark in the winter. I would recommend this grill to everyone.

Honest reviews on DCS Propane Traditional Grill, Brushed Stainless Steel

We have had this gas grill for about five years. We have had repair problems since the first year. Even the local repair person

Indicates these are a poor design and very costly to repair. Here is our list of yearly repairs which have not been covered by any warranty other than 90 days on parts:

We own a high end architectural design firm and refuse to recommend this manufacturer any long for our clients: Calls/ letters to DCS customer service by us or our clients have been unresponsive

4 Thermodynamic coupling replacements at approximately $150 in parts and labor. with normal use in dry California climate the

rotisserie has died due to this part failure at the beginning of use each year. total cost $750

We only occasionally use the rotisserie......maybe once every 3 weeks for a chicken".....it fails us at least once every summer, right when we need it! enough said !

repairs to several burner ignition switches..........4..........

Heat bars began shattering , fracturing with out being damaged by use within the first year.

the stainless frame holds up........but other components are pour quality .......grease drawer is terrible to clean and corrodes....and is expensive to replace.

for the cost of these, and the repair hassle, parts very limited warranty.......we recommend you look at another grill.

DCS is well aware of the ongoing problems, especially the thermo coupling design and continual problems and they have not redesigned this part......

I have an older version of this grill. I live a few blocks from the ocean and the stainless has held up well. (Yes, cheap stainless will rust!) Like any grill, you have to replace parts over time and I'd say that the parts in my grill have lasted for about as long as you'd expect. You can find online stores charging full retail for replacement parts and others with deep discounts, so do your research.

And now the crux of the matter: Considering this is a "high-end" product, it is absurd that it heats so unevenly. All gas grills have hot and cold spots, but this one has so many that it's hard to get an even sear on anything. Those magical heat rods are a joke. When I finally replace the grill, it will NOT be with a DCS.

There, now you are 2 cents richer. ;-)
