If you’re lookin, you’re not cookin.

I might be wrong, but I prefer to keep the lid closed on the grill instead of letting the extra heat out. I know the business end of the grilling is on the direct fire (down-facing) side, but please allow me my illusions about preserving heat.
Likewise.
I agree. My grill has a thermometer built into the top lid, and it’s amazing how much heat is lost and how quickly as well. Leaving that lid on as long as possible will finish them faster.
