After use on high temp about how long does the grill take to cool down, so you can move it/cover it?

We typically pull it in or cover it after we are done eating. Sorry we haven't really paid that close attention. We love it - actually have 2 one for our home and one for our cabin.

I heat mine up very high so I give it at least an hour. Best electric grill I have tried.

It only takes a few minutes to cool off. It's a great grill and has a lot of power for being electric.

Absolutely. As soon as you are finished, shut the vents and the grill will be cold in 30 min. Reuse unburned coals easily.

The back, top, and sides stay cool but the hot air coming out of the front is quite hot. Once you shut it off the plastic grills on the front stay hot for a while.

You can if you want to melt it. I would not put it on until it cooled down to 100 or so. This is by far the best cover for a grill I have found.

I think you can remove from the front, it is how I installed it. Good grill, high heat.

Allow grill to run with lid and air vent open until fire is desired heat. Can take 20-30 minutes

Maybe about an hour. There is no closure to the lid so things do not stay as hot as i would like.

It depends on what you set the temperature for. But, I would say that it will reach 350 within 2 minutes. I turn it on, go get my food from the fridge, open it, and put it on the grill. SIZZLE! BUT... it runs hotter on the temperature/control side by several degrees.

The longer I own it the less I worry about it. I do keep canola spray handy and make an effort to keep the grill top grate as free from rust and other particles as possible. Before placing the grill top (grate) on the hot grill I spray it both top and bottom. I keep the unit in my covered gas grill and just close the lid until the next day or so to cool. Then I clean the grill top grate in my kitchen sink with hot water and a stiff brush, dry it, and spray it again and warm it up in the oven. I take the 2 "doors" off the grill and dump the ashes in the garbage, making sure to save the bottom grate. Reassemble and it's ready to go again. A little bit of rust is evident but does not seem to be an issue. The longer I own it the less I worry about it.

I have the table top grill, love it, and it does get hot, so stay with your food until you "get to know" your new grill! (Not so hot that it's a problem sitting on our poly something table!) So sorry that I wasn't able to help answer your specific question!

It heats up and cools down pretty quickly. Much depends on your heat source. If using propane or liquid fuel, start off at a low setting.

How cold? Normally I preheat the grill for about 15 minutes to get it up to 450-500F in the summer. But with the cold air, you might need longer. This unit is basically an electrical element, so if it is really cold, the heat might be sucked out each time you open the lid. We have used the grill in the cold (Virginia) weather but for us, cold is at worse maybe 40F.

Others answered about the temps. This is a great grill. We are very happy with it. We cook steaks, ribs, burgers, hot dogs, just about anything on it and it cooks evenly. It comes with a cover and we have been covering ours when not using. It still looks nice.

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.

Yes..first time using..temp is difficult to get over250, and drops to 150 immediately on opening grill top. Does anyone else notice that the back of the grill is open above the black backing? Heat is escaping, though doesn't feel like much. The food, hamburgers and sausage, seems to be cooking though, and nicely. What's the deal here?
