500 degrees is plenty hot. My grill never gets that hot. In summer time it gets hotter then in winter. You should have a shut off valve on your direct piping. I have to open up the gas with the burners off for 30 seconds or so. Then I can turn the burners on high and ignite them. If I don't it don't get hot. After you get a little grease build up you will get flames.. Sometimes too much flame. I sear each side about 2 minutes and then turn down the heat and cook to order. I kinda like medium to well........
