After a lifetime of grilling burgers, I've all but quit using the grill

I've come to really appreciate the crust you can get from flat top or skillet much more. That can't be duplicated on a grill...

But a pro tip for great burgers...buy a whole packer brisket and run that beast through a grinder. Experiment with blends of brisket, chuck, and/or sirloin.

First thing I did was quit using the gas grill, except for Bubba Burgers. 😉** -- B777Fr8Dog 08/25/2021 09:05AM

Ahhh, Bubba Burgers! They were a tailgate staple for our group for YEARS ** -- Nova Hokie 95 08/25/2021 11:56AM

I like the Angus ones ** -- B777Fr8Dog 08/25/2021 5:12PM

Dice/mince onions and mix in with the meat. One egg and breadcrumbs as -- ElbertoHokie 08/25/2021 09:03AM

Just seasoning and salt and cook it slow - flipping not smashing ** -- bigbadbird 08/25/2021 08:53AM

Mix ground Buffalo with 80/20 hamburger... -- vthhhi 08/25/2021 08:36AM

Don’t pack the meat tight. Season the outside, not mixed in. -- HokieSignGuy 08/25/2021 08:14AM

Me too. Smash burgers are fast and tasty. -- No Clue 08/25/2021 11:23AM

Yeah, a cast iron does burgers better than anything. Toss one on the grill -- reestuart 08/25/2021 08:15AM

I have been using a skillet on the gas grill and green egg. -- GreenvilleVT 08/25/2021 08:48AM

Woo, I’ll have to try that. I rarely use cast iron on my stovetop anymore -- HokieSignGuy 08/25/2021 08:19AM

We also do steaks that way. I've reverse seared and finished in the skillet -- reestuart 08/25/2021 08:28AM

You need a very good hood to do that inside -- hoosnowahokie 08/25/2021 08:53AM

Yeah, the smoke was bad. The flame that touched the bottom of the hood -- reestuart 08/25/2021 09:18AM

I use this method as well. Pain to clean up later but worth it ** -- pburg_hokie 08/25/2021 08:18AM

Get a steel mesh cleaner. The Ringer is one brand. -- GreenvilleVT 08/25/2021 08:51AM

I've been thinking of getting a flat iron type deal to put out on the grill -- reestuart 08/25/2021 08:36AM

I use rectangular 18x10 cast iron griddle from Amazon -- pburg_hokie 08/25/2021 08:44AM

Yeah, definitely something like that in my grill's future. ** -- reestuart 08/25/2021 09:17AM
