Slow Roasted Burgers

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I've got a challenging cook this weekend. I'm cooking my "family famous" maple ginger salmon on a plank for a group of 10 friends. This usually takes about 40 minutes at 300 degrees.[p]But the wife also wants burgers and dogs for the crowd and the kids. Ugggh. How to cook? I can't do the burgers after the fish cause the salmon would cool off and lose presentation, and vice versa.[p]Then I remembered somebody talking about a kick ass method of slow cooking burgers. Could this be done at 300 degrees? That way, I could cook the burgers and fish simultaneously.[p]Does anyone here have the recipe?

    CyberDawg,
    If you are doing indirect, perhaps cooking them like a baby meatloaf, timing depending on size of burger.

    CyberDawg, I regularly do burgers direct at 250 - 275º on a raised grid. Takes about 40 - 45 min flipping once halfway. I would guess you're planking at normal grid. I'm sure the burgers will do well, will be done a little sooner, so put them on a little later. They'll be great. Mike

    CyberDawg,
    I did burgers indirect for the first time last night. This was inspired by a set of posts earlier this week. They cooked at 325 for about 25 minutes with a flip about halfway through. Perfect medium rare. Good smoke flavor. Very juicy. As suggested below, it's pretty much the same as baking a meatloaf.

    CyberDawg,
    When I do burgers direct, I set my dome at 250. If you want to slow down the burger cooking, keep them in the fridge until you put them on the grill. If you want them to be quicker, allow them to sit on the counter covered for half hour before grill. flip once. Personally, I like mine taken off just before medium rare. I like prepairing the meat with egg for binder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. [p]Chef Jerry

    CyberDawg,[p]I always slow cook burgers. 250 degrees for 45 minutes on a 1/3 pound burger turns out perfect every time
