Keep in mind that's an indirect method.

I use that for more me and the fam.

When it's cook out/ show out time for extended family, friends and coworkers. I do the burgers direct. Get the whole neighborhood smelling like burgers. Have neighbors driving by like "you grilling "

 

[JackRoss]

Ok @Wildin I see I need to step my grill up first. Second I need to regain patience. Third moving meat really works. Great video drop. What was the seasoning in the beginning? Dont mash, press my patience smh

I make my own seasonings and rubs.

There's plenty of bbq forums and recipes out there. As long as you have a decent variety of the staples like salt, pepper, garlic power, onion powder, etc, you never need to buy a premade rub or seasoning.

I can see how people might not have the patience for it but it's enjoyable and relaxing to me. I don't feel the need to rush through it.

If you enjoy it you'll find (rather quickly too) you can make your own burgers, wings and shyt better than any local restaurant.

As was said earlier get a chimney starter. Put some news paper in the bottom of it and light it. No excess chemicals, no wet coals, all the coals burn evenly, which might not seem like a big deal for burgers but when/if you get into smoking you'll want and need your coals to burn evenly for long cooks.

As far as the cook itself. Let the burger cook, don't be flipping and prodding every 60 seconds. Set it down let it cook, flip it one time, let it cook then take it off.

How do you light that shyt? The charcoal

 

[Spence]

My nikka. I kinda felt that way about the burgers. Saw it bleeding red and chilled until I didn't see red. How do I keep the shyt from falling apart? Like the first 2 were just like fukk it and broke. The last 5 pretty much chilled and stayed together. I thought adding egg as a binding agent would be good but that shyt didn't work for the most part.

How do I stop it from breaking? Might do ground turkey next

don’t listen to Wildin, use egg to keep them together. The trick is to bring them up to temp slower by placing the patties on the outside rack of the grill (or the cold side if you bunch your coals a little to one side like I do). Once they get a good color char them up on the hot side, two flips total and done. You only use one egg per lb of meat so you aren’t making meatloaf.

Do yall use the charcoal that needs the lighter fluid or the one where you just gotta add the fire? Where do you light it? I did the top first but I feel like I should have did the sides first. I didn't want to catch on fire or blow myself up with the lighter and just holding it on the charcoal. Be easy I'm a rookie

I sometimes send the wife and if she gets the cheap charcoal you have no choice but to use lighter fluid. You have to keep the coals lit until the get white around the edges and start going by themselves.

Do not use egg in your burgers. That is not burger that is a Salisbury steak patty.

if you using cheap ass hood charcoal and you don’t have a chimney you got no choice breh

I thought that in the back of my mind. Like I'm not making meatloaf as far as using egg

I've never actually seen how lighter fluid is applied or applied just always around since I was a kid. I

if you’re in a bind and don’t have a chimney you’ll have to use fluid. You have to be careful though if you don’t know what you’re doing you’ll burn yourself up and your house down lol

I been shopping at the Spanish grocery store since covid because there's no lines to get in lol. For some reason they only sell lump charcoal so I've been using that and I'm kind of liking it. What are you guys thoughts on it?

I get a different brand of these at Krogers.. No need for lighter fluid.Like $6 for a box of 12. Put one at the bottom of my chimney with the coals on top of it. Light it and the coals catch.

How do you light that shyt? The charcoal

With newspaper. Ball it up and put charcoal around it and on top of it then light it with a match or a lighter.

Do not use lighter fluid. Do not buy quick light, or fluid soaked charcoal, don't even buy the flavored charcoal.

I've been in the woods and cut down a tree with an axe and started a fire and cooked food. You definitely don't have to do all that. But lighter fluid and charcoal already soaked in fluid is not natural or good. There's chemicals and carcinogens in it. And it only takes one time for you ir some to use too much lighter fluid and you taste it when you bite into a hot dog or a burger.

There's safer and overall better ways to grill.

You dont even need a chimney starter it's just mad convenient. Just put a ball of newspaper on the bottom grate, put the charcoal around and on top of it and light it.

I respect you, but you gotta stop making excuses.

There's no excuse to use lighter fluid or match light/quick light charcoal aka the charcoal that comes pre soaked in lighter fluid.

Even if you don't have a chimney you can start a fire.

And you don't make burgers with egg in them. On top is fine. But not in them.

You put eggs in meatloafs, Salisbury steaks and meatballs, not burgers.

I’ll have to take a look, if it’s actual tumbleweeds I can go outside here in Texas and get some of that shyt in no time For free

Lump is better than briquettes. Royal oak lump is my go-to. KingsFord is trash it's processed, made with chemicals and shyt. Even cheap royal oak is all natural. Supposedly kingsford has a high dollar all natural charcoal that is good. I fukk with royal oak though.

If I can find royal oak briquettes I'll get them. My patio where my gas grill is gets all sooty when I use lump and it's just extra work for me which sucks because there's weeks when I fire up the grill 5 out of 7 days.
