Decisions, decisions
Hi all, I just joined this site today and I'm hoping for some feedback on BBQ grills. (I hope this topic is allowed in this forum).
We're in the process of building a BBQ island and I'm trying to decide between two brands; Viking and DCS. Does anyone have any experience with either of these two, and would you share your valuable experience? Thanks, 8x10 |

The ceramic-covered grates rusted a few years ago and DCS replaced them under warranty. One thing I've started doing is removing anything that isn't screwed on and taking it inside for the winter. On the other hand, I'm in Seattle and maybe such precautions aren't necessary some place where it doesn't rain every single day for six months. You'd probably be happy with the Viking too. From what I can tell, it's a well made unit. My advice is to get the widest grill that your design will permit. Nobody ever wished they had a smaller grill. |

Does your DCS use the ceranic rods for heat distribution? I've never heard a good comment about Viking service, but I have heard some negitive ones. |

They seem to do a good job, but I don't have a lot of experience with other grills. I can't comment on Viking service since I have never owned a Viking product. I thought DCS service was top notch, personally, when I had the problem with the grates rusting. |
