So many ways to cook a good burger ....
This is the method I chose to go with yesterday on
the Genesis E330 that I restored last fall. It was
originally black, but I opted to go with Tomato Red,
the same color that found on the beautiful Coleman
lanterns of the 60's and 70's. It has sat in my garage
all winter, I just recently pulled it out on the deck and
began using it a couple of weeks ago. It is now in
the rotation and will be our daily driver for the rest
of the year.
In addition to cooking our dinner and taking these
pics I was also finally getting around to testing out the
grill and griddle temperatures and also the accuracy
of the hood thermometer with my handy little infrared
thermometer.
Lid temp was just a hair over 500 and as you can
see 518 on the gun. Getting in the 500 degree range,
and with a stock lid thermometer ..... I'll take that as
as a win any day of the week.
This set up that I have ... griddle on left, grill on right
will be the permanent setup for us. We have been using
smaller grills the last few years, and also using a Blackstone.
I purposely opted to go this route and use it is a real world
test to gauge the effectiveness and comfortability
of this type of set up. Most folks don't want to have to have
a grill and a griddle taking up space. If this works as I hope
I will start selling this setup to folks wanting to save space.
3 weeks in... I think I have a winner.
Ok, enough grill talk ... let's get to the burger ....
The grill temp testing prevented me from getting the obligatory
mass ingredient pic, but here is what I had to work with ....
80/20 ground beef
Brioche buns w/ sesame seeds
egg
mayo
mustard
lettuce
Claussen pickles
onions
Colby Jack & Pepper Jack cheese
Leftover bacon from breakfast
and of course, the finest darnseasoning you will ever find
to put on beef ... Hardcore Carnivore.
I like a good smash burger and prefer it with grilled onions.
Smash'em down good and hard
Flip'em
Don't forget to add the cheese while the patties are still on the grill
I occasionally enjoy a fried egg on my burger ....
Gotta have a toasted bun for the best burger ...
Add your fave toppings...
Broke the egg , but still a tasty burger and
sopped it up with the bun.
