I just got done cooking on mine, I,absolutely love that grill. And I cook mostly on high, then hot dogs, sausage links, and chicken on low to medium. Trust me you will enjoy it

I have the unit packed-up, so I can't measure it, but I'll tell you one thing, that thing gets radioactive hot, right away. I was really impressed by the construction and the performance, and I have owned LOTS of grills over the decades. It's a fantastic little unit, and I had the dough, I'd get one of their big ones for the backyard.

As hot as you build your fire. We are still working to determine the correct temperature. We've eaten a couple of blackened pizzas, Ha! Still delicious, just slightly charred.

It is not recommended to put pans on the grill. It gets much hotter than the burner side.

Place it on an area of the grill that will get the same heat that you will be cooking with. It takes just a few minutes to show the actual temp of the cooking surface.

The heat settings are on the cord that plugs into the outside of the grill. It doesn't have temperature listings, just 1-5.

Electric grills do not get as hot as gas or charcoal grills. The don't claim to. Nor who a buyer who does the right homework expect them. I make heavy use of a George Foreman in a tropical rental environment. My guests have never complained. It works just fine.

How cold? Normally I preheat the grill for about 15 minutes to get it up to 450-500F in the summer. But with the cold air, you might need longer. This unit is basically an electrical element, so if it is really cold, the heat might be sucked out each time you open the lid. We have used the grill in the cold (Virginia) weather but for us, cold is at worse maybe 40F.

You could paint it , but use a high temperature paint to prevent it from coming off , as the grill gets very hot .

The pan will probably get as hot as you want it. The problem you might have is the side burner will not take a large diameter pan because it will hit the side of the grill hood.

I enjoy my Cuisinart in the grill immensely. I have a doll where I can turn the temperature up and it does just fine I love it

It does get quite hot. We tend to use at around 500 degrees to sear and quick cook. It will cook on lower if you only use one of the two burners, but more around 275-300.

I'm not much of a baker, but when I left it unattended last weekend, the internal temp at grill level rose to well over 300 degrees. I usually keep it at 225 or so. I'm sure you could do it, but I would suggest moving the charcoal grate to the lower cooking grill to get a more direct/even heat.

We burn it off every time we use it. Never had an issue. We get it hot enough that we need fire gloves to hold the grill to put our food on it

I think I read that they would get too hot in this grille. Would probably just use it the way it came from the factory. It's a great little grille!
