Smoked Costco burgers last weekend and they were incredible

No picts as i was managing ten kids who just won a spring league flag football championship and they were swimming and having fun. But, if anyone out there wants to try this it is awesome. I used mesquite charcoal, no other flavoring wood and baked burgers on two levels on Large indirect at 300F for 45 mins or so. Some charred up a little and as i was pulling em off, people were asking me why i would waste filet mignon this way....they said burgers were fantastic but one parent who was there said i shouldnt have wasted a filet tenderloin in such a way! When i told him these were costco burgers he insisted on seeing the packaging....
So, indirect, charcoal, 300F, 45 mins to an hour yields one of the best burgers youll ever have....i had forgotten about this technique and how it yields awesome results.....every time.....put salt and pepper on the burgers and that was it.....

Gotta do indirect and i would recommemd against adding any wood for flavor. RO, or pretty much any brand of lump should yield delicious results..... -

Before my first egg, i was part of the "blazing hot, flip once" crowd. But I really feel like raised direct is the way to go with burgers. Whether its 300 for a half hour or 400 for 15 minutes, you cant beat that red color ground beef pics up when cooked this way.Kansas City, KansasSecond hand Medium BGE, Second hand Black Kamado Joe Classic, Second hand Weber Kettle, Second hand Weber Smokey Mountain

@tarheelmatt, @JohnnyTarheel, @Killit_and_Grillit, i messed up by not taking pictures. But in my defense, trying to keep a bunch of 12 year old boys from climbing on the roof to do belly flops intonthe pool distracted me from providing photographic evidence. Sheesh these kids are crazy these days. The worst thing i did at that age was steal hood ornaments off of cars.....

But seriously, wtf? No pictures? I can't tell if hot dog or not hot dog. -
What's the upside of this method? The smoke flavor? What IT were the burgers when they came off the egg? Or does that not matter because the fat renders and keeps it tender and juicy?

@westernbbq
1) I think I may give this a try for nights I have a qty. cook I don't want to spend all night working on.
2) it can always be worse. When I was a kid my dad came home to find the neighbor kid and I moved his zip line over our pool and were testing it out as the insurance guy came by for an inspection.

Upside of this method is mostly the flavor. These things come off succulent in taste, texture and dark red maroon appearance that makes your mouth water, they look good, they feel good and they taste incredible. The other thing i found is convenience, no need to babysit them and while this isnt a searing type process, the burgers will develop a light bark on edges and if they are thick, they wont dry out. But not having to babysit the cooking is great. This is also a time benefit as its similar to making a chicken. Roughly an hour. Not overly smoky but a temder juicy flavor that is great. I didnt measure the IT but they looked medium to well done and they did not dry out. The results really are tender juicy burgers that you dont have to watch 100 % of the cook time.
@Killit_and_Grillit, if you make these for a party, they will be a hit. I used to make them in the pitts and spitts barrell drum smoker and now thats gone so the bge is the best apparatus for this application.
I would advise against using anything for fuel and flavor beyond natural lump. Ie dont use wood, i did this once and they were overly smoky. Lump produces the best flavor without being overpowering....
Zip line? LOVE IT! -
