What makes the holland grill better than the rest? the design!

The Holland Grill Story.

In the 1970's Brad Holland started a side business cooking pigs - but found that he had to watch over them so they would not burn. So he decided to improve the grill to eliminate the flare ups and burned meat. After many years of trial and error, and many variations - over 60 in fact - Brad Holland developed a grill that bears his name - the Holland Grill. 

Here is a view of the inside of the Holland Grill. The Holland Grill "System" is a group of 5 components that make the Holland Grill unique.

Starting at the bottom is the CAST IRON BURNER - which is located in the bottom center of the grill. The next component from the bottom is the FLAME DEFLECTOR - which is positioned above the burner. The deflector spreads out the heat to reduce hot spots. Above the deflector is the ALUMINUM DRIP PAN. The drip pan catches the grease drippings - keeping them away from the burner - thus no flare up! The drippings sizzle up off of the drip pan - giving the food that distinct Holland Grill flavor. The drip pan doubles as a liquid holder - water, beer, apple juice, au jus, etc.. - this allows you to steam food on the Holland Grill. Above the drip pan is the STAINLESS STEEL COOKING GRID.  With its diamond shape hole pattern, you can grill cut up vegetables and smaller foods directly on the cooking grid - without worrying about the food falling through the grid! The 5th component of the Holland System is the SMOKE STACKS. The stacks allow air to circulate around the inside of the grill so your food cooks evenly on all sides - no need for a rotisserie.

The Holland Grill Difference

Why are the Holland Grills more expensive than some other grills on the market?

Holland offers grills starting off at $699, and each of the grills features the patented Holland Grill "Cooking System" - a unique system to control the heat and prevent flare-ups. Meat juices catch in the aluminum drip pan and smoke back up to flavor the meat. Excess juices are directed away from the flame and catch in a bucket under the grill.

Can you smoke food on the Holland Grill?

Yes you can. On most models, Holland has included a small tray on the lower front right corner of the grill. You can put "flavor buds" in the container and add smoked flavor to your food. Flavor buds come in a variety of flavors including apple, mesquite, alder, jack daniels and xxxxxx

Can you steam food on the Holland Grill?

Yes. You can turn off the ball valve below the drip pan and fill the drip pan with water, wine, beer, apple juice, or another type of liquid. The liquid will steam up to moisten and flavor the food.

What types of food can you grill on the Holland Grill?

You can grill all of the traditional "grill" foods - hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, ribs, etc... plus you can grill a variety of other foods including whole turkeys, whole chickens, pork loins, beef briskets for pulled pork, pizza, apple pie, sea food - the list is limitless. 

What types of care and maintenance are required on the Holland Grill?

The Holland Grill is really pretty simple to care for. The main care for the grill is to periodically clean the drip pan. The simplest way to clean it is to heat the grill up, and then use the wide scraper to scrape the drip pan - freeing accumulated grease, once the large parts are clean, then you select the small scraper and scrape the middle channel. Once the drip pan is cleaned, then you can brush off the stainless steel cooking grid. That is it for cleaning the cooking area. The carts/cabinets are easily cleaned with a sponge and some water.

What is the purpose of the bucket?

The bucket collect excess grease that is not sizzled up into the food.

What is the purpose of the smoke stacks?

The smoke stacks allow the heat in the grill to circulate around the food to cook the food evenly all over. The advantage of this method is that you don't require a rotessierri to cook large foods like turkey or ribs. On the Holland Grill, you place the turkey on the cooking grid, in a pre - heated Holland Grill and cook by time. 

What is the largest Holland Grill.

For most families the main Holland Grill line provides enough cooking area. In the event you need more cooking space, Holland introduced the Pinnacle Grill, which is approximately 2 times the size of the regular line Holland Grills.

Why does the Holland Grill only have one burner.

All you really need is one burner. The Holland System which consists of the cast iron burner, flame deflector, drip pan, and smoke stacks - allow the heat to be constantly circulated around the food in the grill- cooking the food all over. The heat system in the Holland Grill is more like a convection oven, thus you don't need many burners.

Does the Holland Grill Sear food?

Since the Holland Grill cooks at a lower temperature, it does not "sear" in the traditional sense. The food that comes off of the Holland Grill is moist and juicy. If you truly like your food "seared", Holland offers the Sear Mate, an add on for the Holland Grill which can sear the food at either 600 degrees or 900 degrees if desired.
