DCS Grill Heat Shields, Radiant Trays & Ceramic Rods

Shop OEM and aftermarket heat distribution parts for DCS grills, including heat shields, radiant trays, ceramic rods, ceramic rod trays, and briquette trays. DCS has used several different heat distribution systems over the years, so identifying your grill model is important when selecting replacement parts.

Understanding DCS Heat Distribution Systems

DCS (Dynamic Cooking Systems) has used several styles of heat distribution systems throughout its grill history.

  • Early DCS grills: Used radiant trays designed to hold lava rock.
  • Later DCS grills: Replaced the lava rock system with trays that hold ceramic roller rods.
  • EDV Series: Some models use radiant trays with briquettes.

DCS Ceramic Rod System

The ceramic rod system is a distinctive DCS design and continues to be used in DCS grills today. Early grills used approximately 8.5" ceramic rods, while later models use approximately 9.5" ceramic rods.

DCS ceramic rods are hollow. Heat from the burner heats the ceramic while hot air also flows through the center of the rods, helping distribute strong, even heat across the cooking surface.

Important Fit Note:
DCS radiant trays, ceramic rod trays, ceramic rods, briquette trays, and heat shields can vary by grill series and model. Verify your grill model before ordering replacement parts.
