I had a Holland Classic for many years and we buried it a few years ago and when with a differnt brand (mistake). The only complaint I ever had with the old Holland was it would never get above 400 degrees. I am ready to purchase a new grill and trying to decide between the Epic and the Apex. Question - Will one grill cook hotter than the other or are they the same? What advantages does one have over the other besides all stainless on the Apex? Thanks |

They cook the same. The SS on the Apex requires longer to get to temp, but requires less fuel to keep it at that temp. I suspect it has a slightly smaller orifice in the regulator. I bought the Apex. In for a penny, in for a pound. It won't rust and loses less heat when you open the lid. Two great grills, but for me the little bit extra made sense. |

x2 what Tom said. They are exactly the same grills except for the top/bottom shell materials. The Epic has an aluminum bottom shell which isn't going to rust. You can't make a bad choice between these 2. |

SAVE your money. Don't purchase a Maverick!!!! The drain pan will not drain. I have purchased 3 Holland grills and I hate this one. |

@Teresa...Just buy the drip pan,drip pan brackets, pipe and drain valve for the epic grill and install. Problem solved! |

2 cents from a proud Maverick owner. Had this model for a year & a half. Drip pan works flawlessly! Buying a Holland / One of the BEST investments I ever made!! |
