Done a couple of boston butts ---but never grilled on my large BGE just throwing 3 burgers on to try - planning on using the recipe off the BGE main website - 650 burgers for 2 mins flip 2 more mins flip shut down and "cook" another 3-5 mins then off to rest

That should get you to about 160. A lot depends of course on how thick you make your burgers.

Doug,
I would stay away from the 650* myself. I usually do burgers at 350* or so on a rasied grid if possible. I can see a lot of greasy smoke at the higher temp.

650 or higher for two minutes a side is fine but the dwell will produce medium to medium-well burgers unless they are very thick or started out very cold.
-
thanks all - any comments using PAM on the grate - never did when smoking
-
I bet you'd smoke that little tace bell dog at 650 and not worry about getting the temp down
-
PAM is OK - but don't ever spray it directly into a lit egg unless you want a fire ball in your face!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

LOL I know that one LOL the wifey is big on PAM so did it
well you understand:) -
I saw a guy do it once after I warned him not to...and yes he had a beer in the other hand!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Hey Doug, We get 5 pounds of 80/20 hamburger and patty 5 flattened out burgers out of it about the size of your hand and fingers splayed out.
I use a spider and ci grid and get my egg to 400F. I put two burgers in at a time for approx 5 min's per side then rest. Actually I grill 2.5 min then twist the burger for another 2.5 min's. Then I flip and grill the other side the same way all the time keeping the dome closed. No Pam there is enough flair ups as it is.
My opinion excellent, excellent, excellent, burgers. :P -
If you want to use a PAM type product, look at this product by Weber:

I have used it on my Egg and on my gas grill, on an open flame, and no flare ups at all. -
eggzlot, Not sure if your speaking to me but, food/meat don't stick to my grid. Not sure if you use the product for other reasons.
