Capital Grill Repair & Service
American-made stainless gas grills from a pro-style range maker, known for infrared searing and hidden rotisseries.
About Capital
Capital Cooking Equipment is a Southern California company best known for pro-style indoor ranges. It also builds a small, focused outdoor line: stainless steel gas grills in built-in and cart versions, plus matching side burners. Its founders came out of Viking and DCS, and that background shows in the heavy construction and commercial-style details.
The Precision series is the main outdoor line. It pairs U-shaped stainless burners with a ceramic infrared sear zone, a rear infrared rotisserie with a chain drive hidden inside the hood, and ceramic rods under the grates that you can flip to burn off grease. The simpler Professional series costs less and leaves out most of the extras. Buyers are usually homeowners putting in a full outdoor kitchen who want an American-made grill with strong searing power. Precision sits in the premium tier; Professional models are closer to mid-range.
History
Capital Cooking Equipment was founded in 2001 by engineers with long histories at Viking and DCS. It made its name with residential ranges and then added outdoor grills in 30, 40 and 52 inch sizes as built-ins or on carts. Capital is now one of several brands under Superior Equipment Solutions (SES), a Southern California manufacturer that also owns Alfresco, Artisan and Memphis Grills.

Why won't my Capital grill burner light?
Capital Precision grills use hot surface igniters, which glow red to light the gas instead of sparking. If a burner won't light, the igniter or its wiring has usually failed, and a technician can test and replace it.
Are Capital grills made in the USA?
Yes. Retailers list Capital's outdoor grills as made in the USA.
What is the difference between Capital Precision and Professional grills?
Precision grills add an infrared sear zone, a hidden infrared rotisserie, ceramic radiant rods and lights. Professional grills are simpler, lower-priced models with standard burners.
