The grill I have has a light on it but I can't see light so I start my grill up and time it for 8 minutes with my talking clock then put food on and season it then close the grill and time the cooking. The 8 minute time in the beginning allows the grill to get to maximum temperature.On Thu, 7 Apr 2011, Lora Leggett wrote:
