First try at burgers

Blassiter

I read a lot before attempting and tried to follow the majority. Cooked 1/3 pound burgers for 5 minutes at 400 per side. The taste was incredible and while they were not dry, I will probably cook for 4 minutes per side next time. First time I have had burger on grill that was not gas in several years. Had no idea what I was missing. Lovin the Egg!

I always cook 2-3 extra. Pop 'em in the microwave for 50 seconds and you get to re-live the glory.

Nice burger's.  It's been a long time since I've done burger's on the egg.  I like the cast iron grate.

Set the large up for 250 with apple wood chunks. Target range of 140 on the burgers. Pulled them and seared them around 500 with some blue cheese crumbles. Bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and mustard. Came out pretty good!

How much extra time for the reverse sear? (It looks great, by the way!)

Nice looking burgers, MaC122. With reverse sear, does that just mean that you pull the burgers, increase temp and throw them back on to sear?

Yup. And it only took about 30 minutes to reach 140 in the burgers while smoking them. Would have been a better sear, I think, with a hot cast iron skillet.
