It reminds me of those random articles that are like “Here’s what Warren Buffett does every morning that is he key to his success”, you click it and it turns out he gets up at 6am and has eggs or something. Doing that a couple times has made me not click out of curiosity anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Clean your grill and use ceramic to evenly distributed the heat. Even better, use a grill with the heat box off to the side. One thing, though, don't be a monster and put burgers directly on the grills. Burgers belong on a flat top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best burgers I've ever had were at a small diner in southern Ohio that basically deep friend the meat in a pool of oil that existed on the flattop. I don't know if the place even exists anymore, it was opened in the 30's and I'm quite sure the original owners died years ago, but next time in in the area I'll look for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flattop let's your burger fry in its own rendered fat. Deep frying also works pretty great for the same reason. Getting the temp of the oil right it's the trick, though. You don't want the burger flavors getting lost in the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 We had a big grill fire a few months ago because it got too hot while heating it up and it caught all of fat drippings on fire. I felt like a badass putting it out with high velocity water fog. My navy firefighting skills finally paid off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I’ll admit our propane BBQ grill can get a little nasty. My mom got tired of flare ups and just lines the grill with a good thick foil and has worked great. Great for roasting veggies and corn on the cob, with nothing falling through the grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I do grill my burgers because it’s just nice to be outside and grilling your meat and have the grill flavor. It’s a worse product, though, I can’t argue with you there.

ThreePi Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Though I have a gas grill now for convenience, food cooked on a charcoal grill tastes so monumentally better than other methods. Like, take a chicken breast and cook it on a grill pan over a stove, on a gas grill, or on a charcoal grill and it will 1000% be better on charcoal.

We use to do charcoal and I remember how amazing a good home made burger was on that grill. My dad cooked most things on the bbq until the meat actually looked like charcoal forming on the burned pieces of meat. My mother was wise to remove him a from bbq duties, as his signature stove dish was boiled steak and onions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioandsonic Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I've never grilled anything. Frankly, cooking still scares me to a degree, because I'm afraid I'll fuck something up and smoke up my apartment. I've gotten better at this over the last couple of years, but still.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Inuk and I practically have identical diets, so it just makes things far more efficient if I prepare enough boiled chicken for the both of us at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I leave my grill on to burn away the grime, then it scrapes off easily. But the last time I forgot to turn it off and it burned through half a tank of propane overnight. Luckily nothing was near enough to catch fire.

Chris- Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Grilling burgers is fine; the point isn’t to create something gourmet, it’s to feed a bunch of assholes while you hang out outside and drink. In fact, that’s the point of grilling in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
