Guide Review - Holland Classic II
The best way to describe how this grill works is to tell you how it's built. That's what Brad, the owner of the company, would do. First of all, you have a single circular cast iron burner, controlled by a two position valve, on and off. The control valve is factory set to the correct output. Above the burner is a heavy cast iron plate that distributes the heat. Above that is a single piece of sheet metal that completely separates the burner chamber from the cooking chamber. Hence, no grease can get to an open flame to cause a flare-up. The cooking chamber is heated by radiate heat. On top of the grill are two smoke stacks. By opening or closing the stacks you can adjust the cooking temperature from a low smoking temperature, to a high grilling temperature.
Okay, so this doesn't sound like most any grill you've seen before, that's because it isn't. You don't get direct exposure to the flame, but it doesn't mean it only does indirect grilling. With the stacks closed this grill gets plenty hot. It is also very well built and would probably last longer than you will. If this style of grilling sounds good to you then I would whole-heartedly recommend this grill. It really is a great unit, but it's different.
I think that the greatest recommendation that a product can get is from its loyal owners. Holland has a following that is almost scary. People who have this grill love it and never go back to traditional grills. They would buy another one, if the need were ever to arise.
