[TheRenard]

This clip makes me and my future wife want to have our own similar weekly show in weekends and have cooking fun!

I learned a lot here about grilling. And I also learned that I might be the devil because the way I like my burger is well done with cheese. Nothing else. 😂

I'm watching this because my neighbor is slow cooking hamburgers and I am getting hungry.

Looks awesome, I don’t have or use a thermometer so 4-5 minutes on each side for medium sounds perfect. Thanks 👍

[alexsanchez]

[GregSzarama]

Wow, looks like you're rich. Well done!

*Bought for my son. We have had one for years, works great. Can cook indirect and smoke meat. Done chicken, ribs, turkey, and the regular **MyBest.Kitchen** hot dogs and sausages. Excellent grill*

Every way you cook is fine. BUT, I bought the same glove at Lowe's (For my yard). I would never use that kind of glove for mixing any food.

This really is a perfect guide. I know what I’m doing but i always like to see what others do. This truly is perfect.

Grocery store ground beef tends to be perfect, idk what you're talking about needing wagyu.
It tends to be about 70 to 80% lean which is great for burgers. Just don't get something with gristle, but if you like cooking, you already know which supermarket gives you that

So many of these 'cooking channels' these days are noting more than long-form commercials.

I like your video. My gas grill broke. I put charcoal in the grill. I use it as charcoal grill. I like charcoal grill better than gas grill

[nathanielrodriguez]

Just finished making charcoal grill burgers and got this in my recommended lol

[panchovilla]

Cool video. Those gloves though. Feels like I was watching how to do my own car brakes in my garage.

[markennes]

Yep, I agree, 145 is about perfect for a BBQ burger - juicy and perfect inside.

[rm]

Love the thumb trick, but not convinced how sterile those gloves were for handling ground beef

[awinkler]

What temperature do you get the grill to? How do you get it at that temperature? How do I arrange the coals? How long do I pre cook the coals?

A good burger a day keeps the doctor away. I'm using my 1st bag of cowboy charcoal for my video's this week, so far it works real good.
