Father's Day Smash Burgers

When Weber replaced my Smokefire Sear+ with a Searwood, they did it dollar for dollar. With the Searwood being much less expensive than the Sear+, they allowed me to get accessories to make up the difference. One of the things I got was the griddle. It's been in the box since I got it, but I spent the last few days seasoning it up on the Genesis and finally used it tonight. Started with some bacon, then onto onions and finally the smash burgers. I don't have a proper 'smasher', but used a small pot with parchment paper. A couple triples for the kids and a double for me and the wife. I didn't nail them by any stretch, but they were still very good. I just kept the griddle on the Genesis for this session, but will ultimately move to the Searwood for these. Already looking forward to my next griddle session.

Onions going and getting close:

Burgers on. Smashing needs a little work, but this will do for attempt #1

Final product, a double for me with lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup, mayo and American cheese.

The griddle is not a cheap accessory. But at ~20lbs, it is rock solid and should last well beyond me if I take care of it. I'll be interested to see what the drip pan looks like tomorrow after this session, but I really enjoyed using it.

Happy Father's Day to all the father figures out there.

Those smashies look tasty.
I also agree on the nice seasoning you did to the metal.
A nice season griddle cleans up fast 👍.
