Holland Grill

[Rip_Some_Lip]

I found a deal at a local garage sale tonight. I found a used Classic II Holland Grill that I picked up for $50. I got it home and hooked up a propane tank and lit it up. I left it run for a few minutes and it seems to work good. We are planning on trying it out tomorrow night to see how it cooks.

I have a buddy that swears on his Holland Grill and I am tired of my wife and I burning chicken or most anything from flare ups. I tried searching the forums for info on these grills with little success so I hope I am not beating a dead horse...lol.

I was just looking for some tips on cooking with this grill. I see on youtube that I can smoke on it also although this older model does not have the wood chip drawer like the new ones. Can I wrap wood chips in tinfoil and set them on the drip pan or cooking grid? Also I see I can get a thermometer for about $25 and drill some holes in the top to install it. Is that something you would suggest?

It doesn't have a stainless steel cooking grid or stainless steel drip pan. They must be regular steel and are pretty rusty although seem sturdy. I emailed the company to see if I can get stainless replacements and asked for a price. It looked like about $200 for both of them on newer models. Is that something I should look into also and is it worth the extra money? I see a new grill starts at about $700. I appreciate any tips you may have. Thanks.

Well, we could get some steaks and try it out.

I used to work with DeGroods in Mankato all of the time and they have sold them for years. If you have technical questions or need any parts give them a call.

a very good grill. I know someone that made their own drip pan and grate out of stainless steal.

Made some very good BBQ chicken on it tonight! Tomorrow I am going to slow cook some baby back pork ribs. Just not sure if I should do one rack or two. I am thinking of trying a pan of cheesy potatoes on it with the ribs since it cooks like an oven. Has anyone tried that?
