The BE1-36C-N is the smallest of the Series 9 charcoal-capable grills. Owners mostly call when it will not reach temperature. DCS’s own troubleshooting covers the easy causes: a full 10-minute preheat, wind gusts across an exposed patio, and blocked burner ports. On natural gas, an undersized supply line is worth checking too if every burner […]

The BE1-30AG-N is a flat-top module rather than a grate grill: 525 square inches of plate over burners totaling up to 50,000 BTU. Because food and fat stay on the plate, the grease tray fills faster than on a standard grill, and an overflowing tray is a fire risk inside a built-in island. DCS designed […]

The BH1-48RS-N is the one Series 7 grill with side burners built into the same body instead of a separate module. That means the side burners share the grill’s gas manifold, so a gas supply problem affects both, while an ignition problem is usually specific to the side burner’s own electrode. Side burners sit exposed […]

Series 7 is DCS’s hand-finished line below Series 9, and the BH1-48RI-N is its most equipped 48-inch model. The infrared sear burner reaches very high temperature quickly, and its ceramic surface can crack if it is hosed down or hit by a cold marinade while hot. We regularly find the ignitor electrode knocked out of […]

On the BH1-48R-N, the rotisserie burner at the back of the hood is the part owners most often ask about. It is lit through a safety valve that must be held until the flame proves; release it too early and the burner goes out, which DCS lists as the first thing to check. The long […]

The BH1-48-N is the plain 48-inch Series 7: four burners, a hood thermometer and a smoker tray, with no rotisserie. Fewer parts means fewer failures, and the calls we get for it are mainly ignition in damp weather and burners that need their ports cleared. The hood temperature gauge is a simple dial thermometer. When […]

On the BH1-36RI-N the infrared sear burner takes up a large share of a 36-inch grill, so a weak sear burner changes how the whole grill cooks. A slow, patchy glow usually means clogged ceramic ports; a burner that will not stay lit is a gas or ignition issue. The rotisserie light is a halogen […]

The BH1-36R-N is probably the most common Series 7 grill in built-in outdoor kitchens. For a rotisserie that does not turn, DCS’s checklist starts with the obvious: the motor switched on and plugged into a GFCI outlet that has not tripped. Orange or yellow flames on one burner usually mean something is partly blocking its […]

The BH1-36-N is the straightforward 36-inch Series 7 grill with no rotisserie. Near the coast, the grates and burner edges collect salt, and even type 304 stainless shows surface rust if it is left dirty and wet. Regular cleaning and a cover do more for this grill than any part. When only some burners light, […]

The BH1-30R-N is the smallest Series 7 grill with a rotisserie, and many are on carts rather than built in. The LP twin, BH1-30R-L, has its own common call: the flow-limiting device on the tank trips when the tank is cold or low, and the grill suddenly will not get hot. DCS gives a reset: […]
