Reading some reviews on grillgrates and came across this. Do you lower the temperature on your grill to compensate for this and is it actually true?
They act like a magnifying lens on top of the grill’s actual burners. They focus the heat by converting it into infrared heat and at the same time, transferring it evenly across the surface. The manufacturer state that the temperature will get 100-350°F hotter than the temperature originally set on the dome of your grill.
Interesting.
It sounds like they are converting convective heat to radiant (infrared) heat.
In that case wouldn’t one expect the actual air temperature to drop and cooking efficiency to go higher at the grill surface?
