WHAT TEMPERATURE DOES THE LID THERMOMETER SHOW?

Back to FAQ | ELECTRIC GRILLS
A common misconception is that the thermometer in the lid of your TRU-Infrared™ grill reads the grill grate temperature. The thermometer mounted on the lid measures the air temperature under the lid (cooking chamber). The grate temperature can therefore be much higher than the temperature displayed on the lid due to environmental conditions and the calibration of the thermometer. One of the most important influences on the temperature are wind speed and the outside temperature. Here, the lid thermometer should level off between 220 °C and 270 °C under optimal circumstances and weather conditions.
