Burgers on the BGE

I prefer to make my own patties. Simple, Worechestershire, S&P and occasionally a pack of ranch mix per pound and a half. 1/2 pound patties loosely packed.

Thank you, I prefer ground chuck, with just kosher salt or sea salt and fresh ground pepper. but thank you for the seasoning tip, the reason I am saying 1/2 # is chuck really shrinks but the flavor is

I have found that if you place a thumb print in the middle of the patty, they don't shrink as much.

Pre made patties are never a good idea.

Make your own.  Preferably grind your own.  Try ground brisket, yes I know, heresy.  It's unbelievable.  Have your meat guy grind chuck for you and make your own patties.

I would counter that premade patties from your local grocery store are not the best idea - but pre-made patties from your local butcher shop will do you some good.
