Without a Thermometer
Following is a way to estimate grill temperature by holding your hand right over the bbq grill surface. If you can only hold your hand 1-2 inches above the grill for 1 second the temperature of the fire is approximately 600-degrees (or higher), 2 seconds + 500°-650°, etc.
- 1 Second (or less) = Very Hot Fire—600 degrees or more
- 2 Seconds = Hot Fire—500 to 650 degrees
- 3 Seconds = Medium Hot Fire—450 to 550 degrees
- 4 Seconds = Medium Fire—400 to 500 degrees
- 5 Seconds = Low Medium Fire—300 to 400 degrees
- 6 Seconds (or more) = Very Low Fire—300 degrees or less
