Hi,
I have a natural gas grill. I see a ton of recipes here but nobody really mentions if the grill lid should be open or closed. i did a search and there are only a few posts on this. So, specifically for burgers, steaks, chicken breasts, kabobs and hotdogs, do you leave the lid open or closed?
The other interesting point is that even with all burners on LOW, with the lid shut my grate temp (used electronic thermometer) is at 475', but dome is 350. so, if something says "cook chicken over medium heat (350')", if I turn mine to medium the temp inside would reach 700'+ in a few minutes. That makes me believe the lid should be open.
Anyone have any definitive answers as to whether grill should be open or closed, and also how it makes sense that my "low" is every recipes "high" (maybe they are using less than all of the burners?) I would really appreciate it. I cant be the only one wondering this.
Many thanks - great forum
