<p />Man, I'm sitting here craving a burger on the Egg and started back through some old pics. Sorry, I couldn't help myself! [p]BTW, I'm having burgers tonight.[p]Mike [p][p][p][p]

Lawn Ranger,
the hamburger is one thing I haven't cooked on my egg yet. How do you normally cook yours (direct/indirect/temps/time on grill)?????

Car Wash Mike

Lawn Ranger,
Looks like burgers for me tonight also. Good idea.[p]Mike

Car Wash Mike, are you going to be in austin? [p]Oh ya, nice burgers lawn ranger. What LR tool do you recommend to flip them? T

Lawn Ranger

GenesGrill,
I've done them hot and fast and lower and slower, but always direct...depends on my mood. I love 'em.[p]Mike

Sandbagger,
When burger lust is involved its a no brainer.....you need to use a "woody"....er..ummm I mean a "Char-Woody Angled Spat".

<p />Lawn Ranger,
when i first got the egg, i think i went a few years without a burger or a hotdog, so many new things to try from reading this forum. then one day it hits you how much you love a hotdog or a burger and that you can do something that simple on the egg. you definately make the best looking burgers out there[p]

fishlessman,
I'm thinking this burger thing will be my inspiration for atlanta. I've been piddling around with "ham"burgers quite a bit. I'll have to branch out a bit to its beefy big brother and come up with something.[p]Eggcellent burger BTW.

<p />That looks pretty tasty, as all you stuff does!! [p]The AZBBQA guys had a backyard burger cookoff last weekend at the "Saddle Sore Ranch" in Queen Creek AZ...a far outer `burb SE of Phoenix. [p]I was lucky enough to win with this entry.. I think if you put enough bacon, cheese, bbq sauce, & onion rings on anything it will taste good! Ceramic cookers make great high temp grilling machines as well as low & slow smokers....the most versatile cookers out there! [p]Burger Cookoff Trip Report (from a judge):

OK, this is probably an appropriate thread to ask a really dumb newbie question. I've got the seasoning and cook time down, but I'm having trouble keeping my patties from crumbling as I cook and flip 'em. Anybody got any pointers for how you keep those little hockey pucks in one piece?

stike

Lou,
you only need to flip them once, rally. if they are sticking, they aren't ready to flip.[p]the wires of the grill are so hot, they stick to raw meat. you need to let them burn the meat to the point where the wires break free and allow you to flip.[p]same for chicken, etc.[p]

fishlessman

Lou,
after forming the patties you can put them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes and then throw them on the grill. like stike said, there really is only 2 sides to a burger, you only need to flip once

lou

Thank you. Makes sense. I knew it had to be something simple.

Lou,
make sure your meat is not too lean 80/20 is good.... that lean stuff can be crumbly depending on how they ground it

Car Wash Mike

Sandbagger,
That would be moving weekend.[p]Mike

stike

Lou,
biggest thing i have learned since getting the egg is to relax, and be patient
