I can conceptually understand how ovens use a different heat to cook, and hence takes a long time to warm up. But why would a propane grill, with direct heat, still take up to 10 mins to fully spread its heat out into the cooking area?
Context: I’m grilling, and realized it’s taking longer than expected (~3-5mins?) to get to 400°F. Understand that I was having wrong expectations, and want to know why thing is this way instead of that.

It has to do with heat disapation you are not just heating the inside of the grill you are in a sense warming up the immediate surandings. So it needs time to find the equilibrium for introducing heat and loosing heat to the space around it. This is why when you open the lid the temperature drops fast as more heat is being lost to the atmosphere with out a barrier containing the heat.
