How hot does the grill temp get?

Almost, but not quite as hot as my 22" Weber charcoal grill with a single layer of Kingsford charcoal briquets in it. I am judging this by how long it takes to char and partially cook (until soft) a good sized eggplant. My Weber charcoal grill can get this job done in about 10 minutes, but the CharBroil electric grill took 20 minutes to do this when turned up as high as it goes. One advantage of the electric grill is the ease with which you can control the temperature, over longer periods of time.

It is a heater, yes, it get's hot. It won't burn someone because of the grill front but little fingers might get burned from sticking in between the spaces in the grill. It can be put up high though instead of on the floor.

The guage shows from 0 to 700 degrees. We usually grill our steaks hot, around 450. We slow smoke big cuts of meat. This grill is so versatile that you can choose your temp and your method. This is our fifth Masterbuilt 7 in 1 and we will never buy anything else. We tried lots of other more expensive types like Ducane, Jenn Aire, and Weber. We much prefer the Masterbuilt.

That is a great question. I just turned it on for about a minute and the black grills heat quickly to the touch but the silver metal sides were drastically cooler. I never took my hand off it and stayed cool. I've had it for a couple of years and really do like how good it works. Can't go wrong.

The only time that my Char Griller gets warm is when it has been sitting in the sun on a hot day. I have cooked at 500F many times, and there is barely any warmth on the outside.

the legs dont really get that hot but the underneath of the grill is where the drip tray is so it does get warm but i dont think it would cause a fire or be a hazard .. hope this helps

This isn't meant to go in the oven per the instructions. However I did use mine one time in the oven when gas ran out half way through a beef roast and it worked out fine. I would say put it at 350 F but I'm no chef. There might be a grill temp listed somewhere on the instructions or on this page http://www.charbroil.com/grilling-smoking-accessories/grill-infusion-cooker-8999850.html

Yes, this seems to be a problem. I'm working with the manufacturer to see what can be done. But at present it really doesn't get hot enough to qualify as a grill.

"Properly" --depends on the individual!! My grill easily reached 550 degrees-plenty hot to sear any steak which is the first step to a "good" steak. The key item to remember, while using this grill, is to keep the cover closed while grilling thus keeping the optimum temperature for whatever is being grilled.

I have had no issues getting the temp down to about 225. I am NOT using the thermometer used in the lid which has shown to be about 30 degrees off on my grill, but rather a digital probe specifically designed to measure the temp of the grill at about an inch off the grate where the food is actually cooking.

We burn it off every time we use it. Never had an issue. We get it hot enough that we need fire gloves to hold the grill to put our food on it

If using it propane, it can hard to get it at a super low temp in the dead of summer. Like I can't smoke fish in the summer because you smoke fish at around 150 degrees. But I've never had any trouble keeping it around 200-225 for smoking pork, beef, or poultry. It's very easy to get it hot for grilling (around 500) on propane. I don't do charcoal a lot but I would assume it would be easier to get your own temperature depending on how many coals you put in.

hey thomas, the best result i have found is with either the charcoal or gas grill flame being close enough to heat the bottom of the grill grates with at least 350 degrees. with the lid then closed and good airflow you want the grates to get to "steakhouse temps" approx 600-650 degrees, before you put the meat one. so with a decent bbq grill thermometer, check the temp and see if it will work, which since your traeger is not just a low temp smoker, the medium or high cook setting will do the trick. never let the grill grates get over heated as it can ruin the anodizing on them, gary.... p.s. go to smokingmeatforums DOT com for a wealth of bbq info hey thomas, the best result i have found is with either the charcoal or gas grill flame being close enough to heat the bottom of the grill grates with at least 350 degrees. with the lid then closed and good airflow you want the grates to get to "steakhouse temps" approx 600-650 degrees, before you put the meat one. so with a decent bbq grill thermometer, check the temp and see if it will work, which since your traeger is not just a low temp smoker, the medium or high cook setting will do the trick. never let the grill grates get over heated as it can ruin the anodizing on them,... » Read More hey thomas, the best result i have found is with either the charcoal or gas grill flame being close enough to heat the bottom of the grill grates with at least 350 degrees. with the lid then closed and good airflow you want the grates to get to "steakhouse temps" approx 600-650 degrees, before you put the meat one. so with a decent bbq grill thermometer, check the temp and see if it will work, which since your traeger is not just a low temp smoker, the medium or high cook setting will do the trick. never let the grill grates get over heated as it can ruin the anodizing on them, gary.... p.s. go to smokingmeatforums DOT com for a wealth of bbq info « Show Less

About 700 to 800F using lumpwood charcoal. The temperature gauge isn't particularly accurate, so I'd recommend a supplemental electronic high temperature probe if you really want to know what the temperature is. The grill makes great high temperature grilled steaks.

I don't remember the maximum temp if it even suggested one, but I used it in my charcoal webber grill to cook pizza on and it's super hot inside and have had great use out of it so far.

Hi JT! Had to get my grill out to answer this. There are 6 settings starting at 300f to 450f max. each increment is 25 degrees. Remember, that you get two sided cooking, so you would never, ever, use too much higher than 325-350. I use 325 for just about everything to keep the food moist. Still running great after 3 years of regular use. No coating has come off and it looks brand new.

I would assume that it would get hot enough but may not have even heat distribution with the burners being spaced apart from each other. The gas grill works well since it seems to have even heat across the grill grates
