Overview
Delta Heat is the sister brand of Twin Eagles, built by Dometic in California. The 26-inch built-in grill keeps the essentials of a luxury grill: heavy 304 stainless steel, a double-lined hood, 18-gauge stainless U-burners and a bed of ceramic briquettes that turns burner flame into even radiant heat across the grates.
This is the standard version (model DHBQ26G-DN) with a stainless steel control panel, set up for natural gas. It is the most compact Delta Heat grill, a good fit for smaller islands, patios and condo terraces.
Standard configuration
The G model is the Delta Heat grill without rotisserie or sear burner: same firebox, burners, briquettes and lighting. The 26-inch size is only offered in this standard configuration.
Cooking day to day
Preheating takes roughly 15 minutes with the burners on low. Blue LED lights mark each knob and halogen lights inside the hood light the grates for evening grilling. The oversized warming rack hooks onto the rear hood panel to keep sides warm or cook indirectly.
Island planning and matching pieces
Cut-out: 24.50" W x 9.50" H x 19.75" D. In a non-combustible enclosure leave at least 3" behind and 6" on the sides; a combustible enclosure requires the Delta Heat 26-inch insulating jacket (DHIJ26) and 12" of clearance. For a freestanding setup use the Delta Heat 26-inch pedestal cart (DHPB26-C), and keep the grill protected with a Delta Heat cover. A 120V, 15 amp dedicated circuit powers the ignition and lights.
