If you run your Q100 on high heat until it is thoroughly pre-heated (grate smoking, thermometer doesn't go much higher), what is the highest temperature reading you get?
Last night I tried this with a candy thermometer inserted under the lid on the side and a griddle-style thermometer both read about 500F (maybe closer to 550F) - does this match up with what you get?
After doubting that my grill was reaching top temp (just cleaned the spider screen) I believe it is now fine but I'd love to check my reading with this forum.
