Cowboy Ribeye Sliders!

Ok, not really. But some good 80/20 Angus burgers. First batch of burgers off the Smokefire that I’m really happy with.

Lookin good there

The smokefire makes great burgers. My kettle and gas grills have been idle since getting the smokefire.

Killer cook Darian, and love the action shots!

 

[LMichaels]

Yep, I think these pellet cookers are very under rated by some. Have to admit to being very skeptical until late last summer when I acquired my first one. Good stuff there. Even a burger is elevated.

That looks pretty hard to beat, even with a charcoal grill!

Nice cook; and A $1,000 plus machine should make a Great burger.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Those are great looking burgers, nice cook.

And then some, ribs, brisket, and steak were my benchmark. Next test is a butt this weekend.

Well at least it did!

I have a crazy Landmann pellet kettle ($150 from a discount store) that does pretty well at burgers and similar. Not as good as those SmokeFire ones, though:



My $25 beat up CharQ can as well - real charcoal taste but not nearly as pretty:

Not necessarily. I have found that it's as easy to stuff up a burger just as easy as stuffing up a steak, no matter what unit you're using to cook it on. I've cooked grate burgers on a cheapo grill at the park, and then cooked hockey pucks on my kettle at home.
For some reason I still find steaks & burgers two of the most challenging things to grill.

Edit: Burgers and steaks have been grilled in our back-gardens for over 70 years. You'd think we'd all have mastered them by now & could cook them in our sleep.

What temp do you run it at?

 

[RichPB (richlife)]

You certainly snagged ME with that title! But I agree, great looking burgers!

Ran these at 450.
