If the rebuild kit for yours is $250 then you are talking way above my level of grill, but I do like the way my Webber charcoal model works.

This is the grill i have & if i had not used one, i would not have been interested. i did some work for a customer and we did a trade out. i have had it for 10 years and love it. it is not like a normal gas grill, the food taste like charcoal cooked.

I think this is kinda funny, if it is in warranty, parts are free but shipping & handling is $199.00
if it is out of warranty,parts are $199.00, plus S&H
not much of a warranty, in my book.

If anybody is near millbrook ny, this might be a good deal

Phat, I've eaten a ton of food cooked on a holland grill. It all started probably 10 years ago when one of my friends got one. Then one of my other friends ate from the other guys holland and went out and bought one....this cycle has went around a few times and now practically all of my friends have holland grills.

You are right, it is a different kind of grill that has that nice feature where you turn the gas all the way up, close door and pre-heat, add food and close door until its done (well maybe flip it in between). We always say, "if you're looking you ain't cookin." Those grills don't get much if any over 375 degrees. I'm not sure how "low" it will go but I'd bet pretty dang low, maybe 200 degrees? Don't know.

My opinion is now that you have had the holland, I seriously doubt you'll be happier with anything else. 10 more years for 25 bucks a year ain't too bad IMO. I say get the rebuild kit.

p.s. I wish I was close by to that stainless model on CL. Nice!

Good point, blue. i'm scared i'd be setting my self up for a disappointment. my dad always told me "If the only complaint you have about something is the price, you got a deal".

your right, if your thing is looking & flippin, don't get a holland.

On second thought, you need to get rid of that old thing. I can take it off your hands for free!

I've always wanted a Holland grill.

The older i get , the smarter my dad gets. ordered the replacement today. it is basically a new grill, i just use my lid, grill,& stand.



The pan(pn 22) is the part that rusted out first. then the drain got clogged up & 3 years of grease accumulated and the other night it was "FLAME ON"
