CI Burgers

Been playing with The Spouse's big CI skillet.  So far cooking is getting the skillet up to a good temp, but not down on the flames.  My thinking is that this heats the CI evenly.  Probably more trouble that it is worth, and I will try a cook soon with the skillet right down on the grid.

These were flavorful, had a crust, and that well done skinny goodness.  Not better or worse than done on the grid, just different.  I will continue to have them both ways.

    For some reason I have trouble with these, maybe I'm not letting the CI get hot enough... I end up with gray burgers swimming in grease. Yours look awesome BTW.

    As you saw the skillet was raised up some from the flame.  The dome temp was at 500 for 30 minutes before I threw them on.  They cooked fast.  My guess is you are correct in your assessment.

    Those look good, but if you haven't tried smashing them flat/skinny after putting on, definitely give that a go.   I've converted from thick burger kind of guy to as thin as I can get them and still have them loosely held together.   Looks good though!

    Those went on so skinny there wasn't any room for further squishing =)

    Nice burger. Word of caution on dropping CI down in the flames. No Bueno on the seasoning. Might want to score your own instead of the wife's.
