Burger Question?

Crüe-B-Cüe

Tomorrow will be my first burger cook. I'll be making more than will fit on my large at one time. I'm assuming 350* dome temp would be good? I wanted to to try to sear at a higher temp then shut it down, but being I will be cooking so many, I should probably just go for a straight temp all the way through.

I would stick to your plan. It sounds good since you will be cooking more than one set of burgers. I would also suggest some cherry chips. Make a burger taste great

Welcome Wes - I agree with USC based on the number of burgers you plan to cook. Depending on how well done your "Crue" desires, wouldn't hurt to run up to 400 if they prefer a little more char and a medium burger.

BTW - love the handle! I assume you're a MC fan - just read they are getting ready to hit the road again in all forms; Buckcherry, SIXX:AM!! Should be sweet!

350 is good, you can also dial it up a bit higher, to around 400 if you want. I do mine for about 10 minutes a side, which gets them (and they're fairly thick) to medium or so. I also like to rotate the grill 180 degrees at the five minute point on each side to even out the "hot spot" at the back of the grill.

Absolutely...Here's my right arm...




Thanks for the tips.

I shape relative thick burgers... then stick my finger all the way through the middle, making a sort of donut look. This way, the middles don't puff up, and the burgers cook both from outside-in, and inside-out.

I hold 'er steady at 400F... hard to go wrong.

Enjoy!
