DCS Lava Rock, Briquette and Rod Tray Radiant And Heat Shields
Building one of the best quality and most recognizable gas BBQ grills in the world, Dynamic Cooking Systems have used stainless heat shields, stainless heat shields with lava rocks, briquettes and most recently ceramic rods in a stainless heat shield. The goal is to create a grilling surface from barbeque burners. The radiating heat from the briquette/lava rock/ ceramic rod adds heat from just below the cooking surface for searing temperatures. DCS is such a well known gas BBQ grill because the quality of the products and pragmatic functionality made the grills relaible and the flavor amazing. The heat shield is the secret to searing temperatures and great flavor.

Pack of 10 ceramic radiants dcs conduct for even distribution and grilling surface temperatures. Porcelain rods are still functional of they are dirty. Rods only need to be replaced when broken. The goal is to absorb and radiate heat -- not look pretty. In lesser barbecues briquettes and lava rocks are used but the evenly spaced porcelain rods in a DCS collaborate to maximize heat distribution at the grilling surface.

Heat plate with cross over tube installs below DCS BBQ burner so the cross over tube is in between the burners. This is a safety device created for better and faster ignition or DCS gas grills. The stainless steel tube allows the gas flame to pass from one burner to another so burners will light off the flames of other barbecue burners even if the ignition electrode is not working. The tube that slides under the level of the burners deflects grease to the drip tray below the barbeque grill. |

The older model DCS gas barbecue grills used heavy cast iron burners. The casting of the burner included supports thatsupported the stainless steel heat shields that supported lava rocks. Lava rocks radiated heat to add heat at the grilling surface and lava rocks also ensured there would be not hot or cold spots at the cooking grate surface. The heat shields were made with 304 stainless steel and - in theory - should last forever. However, built up grease will eventually cause rust and corrosion.
The DCS 26 inch gas barbecue grill was the only DCS gas grill model that did not use some kind of conduction material to augment heat. The 26 models had stainless steel U-shaped burners and a stainless steel heat plate above each burner. The heat shield in the DCS 26 models was wavy like a series of "W" shapes making it different from the other DCS heat shields that were used as briquette supports, lava rock trays or porcelain radiant rod trays.
DCS appliances started making gas grills and were tremendously popular because no one until DCS had made true outdoor products made to last decades in harsh weather with American made 304 stainless steel materials. Once the grill models were recognized as the best in the world the grilling technology also improved to match the reputation.
The heat shield radiant trays in DCS gas BBQ grills are designed to radiate searg temperatures without infrared technology. Instead of using lava rocks or briquettes the DCS design built in porcelain rods that locked in to stainless steel trays that mounted just below the grilling grates. The rods heat up and radiate heat at the grilling surface adding temperature to the heat trapped in the closed barbeque hood. Typically, a DCS outdooe gas grill can reach temperatures exceeding 900 degrees because of the radiant tray design.
