So, the other day after asking some questions about flame color and temperatures, I got a bit curious and decided that it would might be interesting to test out a variety of configurations and record the temperatures present on the hood temperature probe.
For some background, I have an older 3 burner E-W 310 Genesis with a new LP manifold, new regulator, and new burner tubes. All are OEM Weber parts.
I want to preface this with the statement that I realize not everyone will experience the same outcomes, and that this is just me recording what I saw. I’ll provide as much info as I can and then you guys can draw your own conclusions. All temps in F.
Outside Temp: 65
Outside Humidity: 92%
Nearby wind speed: 3 mph
Here is what I recorded:
All on High Initial Turn On: 680
Grill was then allowed to cool down and then:
I was curious to see if using the bottom burner which is physically closer to the hood temp probe would make a big difference. It did not. From that point on I used the top and middle burners only.
Top burner only on low: 265
Bottom burner only on low: 260
Top burner only on med: 310
Bottom burner only on med: 315
Top burner only on “3/4”: 335
Top burner only on full: 365
Two Burners:
Top and middle on low: 345
Top on med, middle on low: 380
Top and middle on med:440
Top on 3/4 and middle on med: 480
Top and middle on 3/4: 515
Top on full and middle on 3/4:550
Top and middle on full: 565
Three Burners:
All on low: 480
All on Medium: 600
All on High: 680
Let me know what you think - does this match your experiences? Also I did see a fair amount of overlap - what is the difference between hitting a temp with 1, 2, or 3 burners?
