    The Sean Brock can make a cheeseburger.  Great technique here; http://www.foodrepublic.com/2014/10/21/husk-cheeseburger-we-bow-down-here-how-make-it-hom

    I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    These were put in vacuum sealed bags - three going on the grill tomorrow night.

    6.25 lbs from Costco, 85/15, made 9 burgers. (11 ounce burgers)

    Stuffed with artichoke/spinach/Parmesan dip, mushroom slice, caramelized shallots.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    11 oz?! That's not a burger, that's a meatloaf! Made meatloaf a couple of days ago. 16 oz beef. Fed two of us and we're having leftovers tonight. Might still have enough for a sandwich for lunch tomorrow too.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I love a thin-n-crispy SMASH Burger -  the technique originally from serious eats (link below)

    Everyone who has eaten my burger says it's the best they've ever had. I'm not saying it's the best, cause I haven't tried them all.

    Start with a finely chopped onion and a few jalapeño's, usually 2-3, and sauté with some bacon grease or butter until the onions are light brown.
    Next spread the mixture on a small plate and toss in the fridge/freezer to cool.
    Then take some quality beef, I usually go grass fed 85/15, and press it against the sides of a mixing bowl.
    Salt and pepper how you like it then crack an egg in the center, check to make sure the onion and pepper mixture has cooled to at least room temperature, and mix everything together by hand.
    Form your patties and grill on your cast iron grid preheated to 450-500.
    2min flip, add cheese of your choice and grill 2min more.
    Take them off and let them rest for a couple of minuets and enjoy!

    @fljoemon - On a trip this weekend they had a grill out back at the rental property.  I tried to get it going but could not get the charcoal hot enough. It was a mess.

    I decided to bring the burgers in and fry them up.  As it turns out, they were very good.  I received tons of compliments for simply frying up burgers.

    For the record, I sill prefer my Green Egg.

    Great title - lol.  Now all of us who respond are egomaniacs.

    Ground sirloin. Seasoned with spg, worchestershire, spiracha, bread crumbs to get the right consistency, one egg, some finely diced onions.  Stuff burger with extra sharp cheese.

    Grill bacon on large flat CI and set aside.

    Grill burger and char on onions in bacon fat on CI

    Garlic butter some rolls and toast on grill

    Assemble burger and put a fried egg on top as an option.  (I love that option)

    This pic has no bacon or bun - instead garlic mashed potatoes

    I use 50% sirloin and 50% chuck.  Freshly ground.  

    8 oz. patties, salt and pepper only.  

    Egg at 500 degrees with my Lodge cast iron griddle.  Flip several times while caramelizing onions and mushrooms.  

    Toss on some Cooper sharp cheese, remove and rest while rolls toast to a golden brown. Slap a little mustard only.

    My green egg has made me a better cook in every way spare the burger. I have never cooked a burger on my egg that was nearly as good as I used to on my old CharGriller or Webber.  Then again, all I cooked was burgers on those and now I never think to cook "just burgers."   I need to practice and get my burgers on the Egg down.

    My neighbor and I were talking about having a burger contest for the Memorial Weekend get together.  I may just take my meatloaf recipe and add some cheese to do mine, but some of these so far look great.  I to have bookmarked this thread.  I am wondering if I grilled the burger on the egg first then  finish it with butter in a CI Skillet would be good.  Bacon I think will have to be involved.
