DCS Series 9 48" Stainless Steel Built-In Natural Gas Grill With Rotisserie And Charcoal - BE1-48RC-N

Expert Review

A grill that's handmade, with 304 stainless steel and a footprint that allows for massive family-style barbecues. That's the DCS Series 9, one of the more impressive luxury grills we offer here at Abt. Thanks to features like individual customization and high heat range, this luxury model is a level up from basic cookers. The company has been around since 1988, while this particular model has been reviewed as one of the best grills out there by various magazines and publications. It's easy to see why; the DCS Series 9 improves on upgraded features it shares with the Series 7 like seamless construction and an extra-large cooking area. Other features that let the Series 9 stand out among competitors include:

• These functional, fluted grates are unlike those on other grills. On one side, the grates are good for beef, on the other they're designed for more delicate proteins like fish and chicken
• Upgrading from the DCS Series 7? This is one of the new features: adjustable grates that can be arranged in multiple ways. The Series 9 allows you an adjustable, additional tray that's perfect for placing an au jus or fruit dish on, or cook your own recipe in this additional space
• Beneath the grates are ceramic rods that help eliminate cold spots, keeping every inch of the grill at the same temperature
• It's optimized for cooking at night with a 50-watt halogen light
• For even better late-night cooking, use the lighted knobs; different colors help to indicate whether the burner is on
• Cleaning is easy: as the grease flows down the trap, it catches within the insert for a simple cleanup
• This natural gas grill can bring the high-temperature heat perfect for searing a steak or caramelizing, and can soar as high as 1000 °F
• Substantial lifetime warranties on the body, burners and grates via DCS. These warranties supplement Abt's own 2-year warranty on labor and parts

The DCS Series 9 is designed for those looking to add the perfect fit and finish to their outdoor kitchen. Outdoor chefs who are really starting to spread their wings when it comes to cooking will truly love the heat level that this model can achieve from a natural gas fuel. This broad, versatile grillhead is designed to meet the customer's needs, too. It can easily be placed on a stone island or installed in a cart depending on the user's needs, making the DCS Series 9 one of the more flexible models available. Even if owners move or their needs change, there are kits to help convert the fuel source from natural gas to liquid propane.
