I was wondering what is the proper way to preheat the grilling grate. The first couple of times I used my OTS, I would put on the grate and then put on the lid. I found that the coals seemed to give off less heat once I put the lid on. I now preheat the grate with the lid off. I found that the coals are really burning and getting the grate hot and I am able to scrape the grates from the previous cook really good with the lid off. Tonight I was watching a video of Jamie Purviance and he said to properly preheat the grate, you need to put the lid on. I was just wondering what everyone does when you preheat. Thanks!
