DCS Grill Ignitors

DCS Grills offer eight models of gas grills all in brushed stainless steel. Additional components are sold separately so consumers can select the features they need for a custom-made grill. These include side burners, water sinks and carts with additional storage sold under the name New Liberty Collection. The company also markets indoor cooking appliances, such as high-end ranges, ovens, microwaves and cooktops.

DCS History

DCS was founded in 1989, offering high-end, commercial-quality cooktops for the home. It then turned its attention to the production of outdoor gas grills and gas-powered outdoor patio heaters. The DCS brand is owned by Fisher & Paykel Appliances, a New Zealand company with its U.S. headquarters in Huntington Beach, California. Fisher and Paykel Appliances acquired DCS in 2004 and now sells its grills in 40 countries.

Special Features

DCS grills are available for use with natural or propane gas. Some models have built-in smoker trays, side or rotisserie burners, smart beam grill lights, stainless steel warming racks and drip trays. All units feature a 9-volt battery ignition. A unique feature offered by all DCS grills is the versatility to install them as built-in BBQs in outdoor kitchens or on BBQ carts also sold by the company.

Customer Experiences

The DCS Customer Care section of the company website provides contact information, a specifications library, brochure request facilities, product registration as well as assistance with finding service providers. Maintenance manuals are also available in pdf format for 11 outdoor kitchen products, including grills.

DCS Warranty

Fisher & Paykel provide a one-year limited warranty covering parts and labor for the entire product, as well as a five-year warranty to cover the burners, grill radiant assemblies and drip pans. All stainless steel components are covered by a lifetime warranty excluding discoloration and surface corrosion. DCS will honor the warranty when it's transferred to another owner of the barbecue.
