I was curious if only one burner was on low and it got to 300,
@JW72: a lot of times the instructions are more generic and a lot depends on where your temp gage is located in the lid than anything else. A lot of times the temp gage is a reference only. You have to learn your grill.
If the gage is located closer to the top, it read hotter. If the sensor is located right above a burner, it reads hotter when that burner is on. The gage is usually hotter than say the grill surface for indirect heat (on burner on, food on the other side of the grate).Remember grilling is cooking over direct heat, I was mostly a leave the baking to the oven since gas grills don't impart as much flavor as charcoal does when baking. I've moved from a 3 burner gas grill to a cast iron charcoal hibachi and it serves me very well. But we don[t entertain any longer. 4951
