Temperature Map: How To?

[sparkyv]

I want to map the temperature profile of my bottom and top grills on my Lexington, but won't want to waste biscuits or bread. I want to do it with a borrowed an IR thermometer from work. Should I cover the grill with foil or butcher paper so I can measure the surfact temperature easily? Or do you have a better suggestion?

Either will will effect air flow which changes heat.
Use bologna on the grill then use the bread for a sammich.

That's what i figured, but I just don't have enough experience to be sure. Thanks for the tip, it likely saved me some time.

Lava rocks seemed to work fine...SWMBO asked what I was cooking!
