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)

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.
things definitely cook faster and i did have to compensate somewhat. that being said, i still crank it up for steaks and smash burgers.

Just be careful if it’s very fatty meat - it really like to make impressive flame-ups at max temp.

Searing one at a time and burning it off regularly after smoking have helped mitigate them.

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?

Do people really use them? I grill 3-4 nights a week -  always think about buying one but feel like it will just sit there not being touch (maybe motzi shabbos, but i end up grilling ms ;D)
