COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

ALLOW GRILL TO WARM UP WITH LID CLOSED FOR 20 - 30
MINUTES PRIOR TO COOKING.
• It is important to realize cooking on a Holland Grill uses a different
process in order for the grill to perform correctly. It is essential that
the lid remain closed while grilling.
NOTE: Check drip pan valve to make sure it is completely
open while grilling
• IF YOU'RE LOOKING, YOU'RE NOT COOKING!
Since this grill uses a combination of direct and indirect heat, the lid
must be closed at all times.
• The Holland Grill has no temperature controls. This means the
temperature remains constant; it's simply a matter of timing. Refer
to most any cookbook for the cooking time of an item cooked at the
recommended 400 degree temperature. Remember, you will
probably want to turn the food over once at approximately half the
cooking time on short cooking time items.
• The cooking times we suggest are only that – suggestions.You
may want to vary the times as you become familiar with your
Holland Grill.
• You may cook on the grill in any weather. If the temperature is
extremely hot or cold, it will slightly shorten or increase your
cooking time.

DRY SMOKING
Place Flav-O-Buds or
chunks of your favorite
dry wood in the chip tray
located on the right front
of your grill. See picture at
right. If additional wood is
preferred, you can use
throw-away aluminum tart
pans placed in the rear
corners of the grill in the
gap between the drip pan and grill body.
Each pan will smoke up to an hour, depending on how many chips
or chunks you use in each pan. When finished grilling, allow the
wood to cool completely. Then throw it away. Use fresh wood each
time you grill.
STEAMING
To steam foods such as oysters, clams, shrimp, crab legs, etc., follow
these procedures:
1. Move the grill to location you plan to use it for steaming.
The grill should be level.
2. Close the drain valve.
3. Following lighting instructions, light the grill and preheat it for 30
minutes, then add 1 gallon hot water to the drip pan.
4. Close lid. In 20-30 minutes, you should see and feel steam
coming from the stack.You are ready to begin the steaming
process.
5. Put food you wish to steam on grill and close lid. Most shellfish
will cook in 15 to 25 minutes.You may want to cook yours
less or more time after checking.
NOTE: Liquid smoke, beer or seasonings such as Brad's Private
Stock Seasoning Mix can be added to the hot water to get some
seasoning effect.
CAUTION: Do not drain water from the grill until it has cooled for
at least 30 minutes.
Drain water from pan by placing a large bucket directly under the drain
pipe. Open the valve being careful to keep hands away from the water
flow.Your grill is now ready to resume regular grilling
procedures.
