Maybe I don't really know how to grill. When I cook steaks, I do preheat and sear. But chicken, chops, burgers, sausages, etc, usually go onto a moderate heat.
I just picked up a great deal from Craig's List on a like new Summit Silver B - including the owner's manual. Reading it, it tells me to preheat the grill, wide open for 10-15 minutes. I'm guessing it will reach between 450 - 500. Steak range, but seems way too hot to throw on chicken breasts or hamburgers.
What am I missing? I get that it will clean the grill, but I need some guidance on cooking with that intense heat. Can I assume after the preheat, just turn it down and toss the meat on (I don't usually "sear" chicken) and cook at normal heat levels.
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I can be taught.....
