The misses likes BBQ, but she doesn't like some of the "heavier" smoking woods. A while ago, I had ordered a sampler pack of smoking woods from Maine Grilling Woods. One of the sample packages contained "Mountain Mesquite." I hadn't gotten a chance to try it as I was afraid to smoke-out the wife from a meal. Well....Last week, the misses was off to Portland, OR, for a conference. We had a package of hamburger in the fridge that needed to be used. So, I decided that I would make some huge patties and grill them using a hunk of that mesquite. The package of ground beef was about 1.25 lbs. I made 3 patties and grilled them. Here are the two pics that I remembered to take.

I forgot to take a picture of the middle of the burger, but I nailed a beautiful medium rare-medium cook on these babies. I was really pleased with the wood too. It had a nice flavor that complemented the meat well and was by no means overpowering. I really enjoyed those three burgers!
 
Like Barb said, that is one BIG burger. Did you do all three in one sitting???? Does look good.

No sir! One was the perfect sized dinner for that evening, filling enough that I didn't need anything else, yet not overfilling. The other two were eaten on separate days while she was still away.
 
I've gotten so hung up on smash burgers lately. I think it's time to feast on a monster burger like yours. Great looking burger Dan. Hope you don't have to wait for the next transcontinental meeting to have another one. ;)
