Ready to roll. First time trying Meat Church honey hog. 

Honey hog delivers. It’s easy on a crowd. No heat.

Just a little off the bumpers.

Wishing garage at new house had more depth. 

This is actually ideal as you just keep driving in until you touch the wall of the garage and then you know you’re in!

I have heard of people who hang a tennis ball from the ceiling. You drive in and stop when it touches the windshield. Of course you have to get it parked the first time in order to fasten the cord at the right position on the ceiling.
Parking that close would likely set off my car’s automatic braking system.

My wife brought home some prime rib ground sliders from Sam's Club.



Slider in size I decided to smash them into smash burgers on the Blackstone. Perfect size starting out for smashing. 

It's an easy grab for anyone looking for some type of beef to smash. 

Lovely work.
Unless there is already a thread elsewhere, I think we need a deep-dive on the optimum stacking order.
Opening salvo,  what's the first thing you put on top of the bread?

Hey thanks. This was very basic meal. We have a couple nieces staying with us and this meal was put together last second before they went to bed. (My wife had pizza with them late afternoon.) So not much thought was put into the burger itself as they weren't super hungry but needed a little something for dinner. I just wanted to pass along the info about the prime rib sliders being a perfect size to start out with for smashing for anyone on the forum looking for a quick easy meal and belonged to Sam's Club.

I started with frying up some bacon. I smashed the burgers in the bacon grease after the bacon came off. I hit the beef with a salt, pepper, garlic rub and threw on some Colby cheese. The rest of the burger had mayo, Lucky 19 Sweet Lil Devil bbq sauce, and Grillo's pickles. I didn't even saute any onions and jalapenos for the burgers. That's almost a requirement for smash burgers in my opinion. (I didn't even toast the buns. That's how basic and quick this cook was.) I wasn't even going to bother posting the cook but figured I'd pass the info along for some prime rib sliders/smashed burgers for anyone who might be interested.

That’s a great show, @WeberWho … been awhile since I’ve seen it. Love it that they’re all narcissists trying to get under each other’s skin. Their characters are all on point.

What is it about crust that some kids and some adults don’t like?  Never understood it. The typical morning aftermath of my kids who refuse to eat the crust off their cinnamon raisin toast. My wife doesn’t care for it either.  I need to start composting. 

in the depression era, parents would have beat their kids for doing that

Nailed the foundation right there, for me.  I aim to get a char on the burger for a crispy crust - albeit tough with the narrower smash style.
Absolute bonus when the cheese melts off the sides and crisps up too.
I am strongly pro-pickle, which are strangely divisive over here.  
Probably would put the first burger on top of the relish, then bacon over cheese (twice) then pickle, etc. 
I can go without onion, but the jalapeño is a nice treat. 

Awesome pic of your setup @bbracey21 !

**** me.  I keep trying to get up the courage to quit my current job.  Every single day I wonder why I do it.  I have a great opportunity that comes with some fair risk, but the upside is a significant multiples of my current role and doing something I think I would enjoy more.

I am just so comfortable and risk adverse.

Legal pad and bourbon. Pros and cons

When I quit drinking in the middle of the pandemic I had a strong urge to quit my job.  Been just over 32 years.  Health insurance is keeping me there.  Plus make hay while the sun is shining.

Cobra is expensive.
