Overview
Delta Heat is the sister brand of Twin Eagles, built by Dometic in California. The 38-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 rotisserie + sear zone version (model DHBQ38RS-WN) with a white control panel, set up for natural gas. Delta Heat offers the same grill in stainless, black or white so it can match the rest of your outdoor kitchen.
Rotisserie and searing
The infrared sear zone burner sits in the left burner position and delivers intense direct heat: sear first with the hood open, then finish on the regular burners. The infrared rotisserie burner is mounted on the rear panel above the grates and turns food in front of the heat for even browning; motor, spit rod and meat forks are in the box.
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: 36.50" 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 38-inch insulating jacket (DHIJ38) and 12" of clearance. For a freestanding setup use the Delta Heat 38-inch grill cart (DHGB38-C), and keep the grill protected with a Delta Heat cover. A 120V, 15 amp dedicated circuit powers the ignition, lights and rotisserie motor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fuel does it use?
This model (DHBQ38RS-WN) is built for natural gas. The propane version is sold separately; any conversion must be done by a qualified technician.
How long does it take to preheat?
About 15 minutes with the burners on a low setting, according to Delta Heat.
Can the 38" grill go in a wood-framed island?
Only with the DHIJ38 insulating jacket and 12" of clearance all around. No jacket is needed in a non-combustible island.
What is the difference between the G, R and RS models?
G is the standard grill, R adds an infrared rotisserie, RS adds both the rotisserie and an infrared sear zone. The 26-inch grill is G only.
