I cook on a Komado Joe.  How do they get any hotter than the temp in the egg?

I cook on a KJ as well and love it.  And the Ribeye Cap is the best part of the best steak.  My favorite steak by far!  

As for the grill grates:  they don't get hotter than the grill temperature.  That isn't possible.  But, heat transfers at different rates depending on the type of heat. 

The grill grates themselves create conductive heat.   (Heat directly from the metal onto the meat).  This is what creates the grill marks.  

But, when you are cooking over charcoal you are also getting heat transfer through radiation.
