Curious - Grill extender hotter than regular grill?

I am curious as to whether there is enough difference in temperature between the grill extender and the grill to cook steaks for the same length of time, with those to be rare on the grill and those to be medium rare to be on the grill extender.[p]Being higher in the dome, I would expect those on the grill extender to get hotter. [p]Probably useless trivia but as I said, I am curious.[p]Thank you[p]KL

    KL,[p] I think the answer will depend on how you're cooking those steaks. If you are doing an "oven-type" cook with the daisy or slide top on, then it is common for the temperature at the top of the dome to be a bit higher that on the cooking grid because you are limiting the outflow at the top. However, for steaks done by the normal "flame-kissed" method, I would expect the temperature to be higher closer to the flames . . .[p]Mike
