It's just personal preference.
If your grill or cooker can put out a lot of Btu's, then leave the lid open...obviously it's
easier to see what's going on that way.

If your grill or cooker doesn't get real hot...then close it.

I worked as a cook in many restaurants and never had any lid or cover for the
broiler or grill. Of course the broiler would put out a lot of Btu's and get very hot.
If somebody ordered a steak Well Done; we usually put it in the Microwave oven
for a few minutes as it was going to be ruined anyway; then put it on the broiler
to get some grill marks on it. That way it sped up the cooking time.
