The Do's
Great value grill: Someone please add :)

The Dont's
Don't play with the food on the grill. Flip it once (or twice if need be), that's all.

Be careful. Once your grill gets used you can have one heck of a grease fire and destroy your grill.
I singed my face as a 10 year old (but that was leaving fires on while closing tank valve instead of closing valve then lighting new fire to burn out excess)

I did it for about 2 min (after it hit 110 on the "cold" half of the grill), and my wife wouldn't touch it. In all fairness, it did remind me of ben drusai. Probably 3 min would've been perfect.
grill probably wasn't hot enough then

Are they worth the money?
Have this one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Weber-Instant-Read-Thermometer/1000171109?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-sol-_-bng-_-LIA_SOL_119_Grills-_-1000171109-_-0-_-0-_-0&gclid=493098e107ba17a1d50ef99937efa3f6&gclsrc=3p.ds&ds_rl=1286981&msclkid=493098e107ba17a1d50ef99937efa3f6


probably don't need to be as accurate as the thermoworks one is but I like the speed. I don't enjoy burning my hand waiting for a temp reading and I don't like taking stuff off the grill to check. I was tempted to buy the thermopen 1 (1 second readings) when it was on sale but my 3 second one is working fine so no need.

When grilling in the rain or snow. Do you cover the grill immediately while it's hot, or wait for it too cool?

I have this, a couple of rocks, a portable grate, and some fairly thin skirt steaks.

Should I even bother, or just pan sear them?

No need for grates. Directly on glowing coals/wood

That's not the problem lol

Not really in a rush here. My question is really if I'll have issues with charred outside and raw insides, or stuff like that.
