yup - lid temps don't mean anything until you know how they behave with your grate temp. I know my lid tends to read about 40-50 degrees higher than my grate so if absolutely necessary (i.e. using only one probe), I'll put the probe in the meat and keep my lid temp at about 275. Then I'll just monitor the meat.

But anyone that doesn't own a grill thermometer needs to at least borrow one for a day or so to learn what their lid temp actually means.
