This guy definitely gets home from a vacation and immediately starts the mower up.

After so many years of dried out hamburgers, I decided to watch a video, , and it happened to be this one. Dragged the grill out into the snow this evening and made 4 hamburgers per the video. Best burgers I ever made - and I'm 67 years old - lol!

They look like they're undercover cops, but I like their style.

This is more or less how I have learned to grill burgers through trial and error.
He doesn't mention anything about flare-ups or grill flame levels.
I use a Weber propane grill. They seem prone to less flare ups. I preheat the grill on high for 5-10 minutes. There is no need to oil the Weber cast iron grates.
Once the grill is preheated, I use the grill brush to ensure the grill is clean, turn flame to low, and grill 5 to 6 minutes per side with the lid down. This results in a juicy but well-done burger.
Prior to grilling, I like to sprinkle seasoning on them. Salt and pepper is fine, but McCormick has a lot of different blends you can try to mix it up.
Another key is to get good hamburger rolls and skip the cheapies. Cheap rolls are fine if you are grilling for a kid's birthday party, but for grown-ups you should step it up a notch.

Yes, lightly butter the bun before toasting. For a little extra kick of flavor, add a little garlic and make it a garlic toasted bun. Good stuff!

We did this exactly like was shown yesterday evening. (Except for the buns). It worked perfectly! I timed mine 4 minutes and 30 seconds then flipped it once. Burgers were juicy and cooked just right. Took a little longer for my cheese to melt really well but I used real deli cheese. American sliced somewhat thicker. The mess was minimum and burned it off after burgers were taken off.

Very simple and basic. To the point with excellent advice. Not a ton of extra or advanced BS to complicate things. Love this.

Great video, huge help! I'm no grill master, but trying to get better. Simple and straight forward...family loved the burgers! Thanks!

[WerewolfSelena]

I am sooo showing my dad this. His burgers suck!!!

[JoshuaDay]

Having the first cookout of the year this weekend and wanted to make sure I have everything down. Yall's videos will help alot for me not to make the same BS mistakes others make. Thanks for the tips!

[azzzza]

Love it. Only thing I'd change is toast the bun on the top rack while melting the cheese

[pdiz]

I knew about not to smash it with the spatula and to put the cheese on at the last minute, but love the "imprinting the middle" part and also I need to crank my grill up higher. The only thing I do differently is, I put mayo on the buns instead of butter before I slap them on the grill. Thank you for the lesson!

This is the best video for burgers. No nonsense, great tips, excellent

[slevmo]

Been cooking burgers for decades. This is the best 'real" burger ever. Thank you.

[Fitingbros]

the most important part wasn't mentioned so i'll do it for those still curious. 7 minutes on side 1, and 5 minutes on side 2, around 500 degrees

This was an AWESOME video!! My grill was warming up today 6/15/14, my girlfriend's father was walking in the door on Father's Day and I needed to get those burgers cooked just right! I have gotten lucky and also botched plenty of meals grilling in the past by just winging it and hoping for the best. But this time I was not leaving it to chance. I jotted down notes from this 6 minute video and immediately followed them to a "T"- Real HOT grill/Burgers w/dent in the middle/Cheese 30-40 seconds/Buns buttered and grilled 15-30 seconds- all absolutely
