Does anyone else grill with the lid off on their charcoal grill?
I like a killer sear on most stuff, and with the lid off, the fire is hotter, and I get that lick of flame for a nice char.
Now dont flame me (no pun intended), I know you get more even heat distribution, no flare ups, and faster cooking times with the lid on, and more often than not, the lid does go back on after the sear, but thats how I roll, and I get lots of compliments on my sears/chars.
