I wait until the grill begins to smoke off the grill residue greases before putting the food on it. If you wait, say another ten minutes, the aluminum clamshell get’s really hot and the melting sag begins. Not a big deal if you’re aware of it. It takes repeated overheating cycles for the process to advance.
Thanks for the heads up....I'll keep an eye on it. I don't normally let it heat up that much, but I got a little distracted that time.
