Then see how hot the fire gets using the “hold your hand over the fire” method. High heat cooks are at a temp where you can only hold your hand over the charcoal for a second or so. It may be that the KK 32” dome thermometer may not be truly reflective of direct cooking conditions down by the searing grate, especially if you’re using the basket splitter, so waiting for your thermometer to get up to 600ºF may not be necessary. Well said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
