Do you grill with the lid open or closed?

I'm going away from the norm....steaks I grill open.

Most everything else closed or a combo.

I do the steaks open as I like a Med-rare with a lot of char on the edges. In order to do this, you need high heat which would over cook the steak if the grill was closed. JMO....

If you've done it long enough on a certain grill you certainly can with using a few touch methods to confirm. You can adjust on thickness as well. .....

I do temp stuff on my smoker to follow the cook on a big hunk of tough meat like a brisket or porkbutt but a steak on a grill is not something I pull a thermo out for..
