Know before you buy
Ceramic radiant technology replaces traditional lava rocks or briquettes to provide more consistent heat distribution across the entire cooking surface. This minimizes cold spots and helps maintain a steady temperature for more predictable grilling results.
Yes, the DCS Series 9 includes a heavy-duty rotisserie kit capable of supporting up to 50 pounds. This allows you to easily roast large cuts of meat or whole poultry with even, slow-turning heat.
The patented grease management system is designed to channel excess grease away from the burners and into a removable tray. By preventing fat from dripping directly onto the heat source, it significantly reduces the frequency and intensity of flare-ups.
