Tell me, so-called "LSP," if that's your real name, which we doubt, what's it like to grill in the Chinese Plague Year?
Well I'll tell you, it's much like grilling in any other year except we have the spectacle of the Russia Coup unraveling and Biden's campaign to boot; don't ask Tara Reade. This pushes things forward, into sundown and beyond.
No matter, behold the grill glowing red hot in the night, like a small blast furnace or UFO. At the appointed time, tip those coals out into the grill. For me it's a Weber, you probably have gigantic smoker/grill combos. Well done, cowboys.
Next step? Oil up the grid, put it in place, lid on, and heat 'er up! Stand back for a bit, maybe run a pull-through down the barrel of an SKS, up to you, no rule. Then take the lid off the Weber and... add burgers. They should sizzle when they hit the grill. Important.
So. 1 minute sear on each side, uncovered, and 3 minutes a side covered. That's my method and it changes per heat of the coals and size of the patties. But whatev. Look in wonder at your burgers and...
Fall on your scoff like a warrior,

The same bill of fare was underway at the White Wolf Mine - where wolves feed with reckless abandon. Great minds think alike.
LSP, Check out Grill Mats.

Grill never gets soiled. Mats are washable and reusable. And you still can get grill marks.
Greatest invention since the electric screwdriver.
That's what I did last night as well only I cooked up some brats and Italian sausage. I'm somewhat old school so I use a Weber as well and I light the coals with a chimney like you do. Mine's getting a bit rough around the edges though so a new one may happen soon. The sausages were tasty.
We gave away our gas grill. All I have now is our old gas grill with it's innards ripped out that I used for a smoker. Now it will be used as a grill with charcoal and maybe a bit of apple wood.
Your burgers look mighty tasty, LSP.
Where's tha wine?
So tasty, LL! And what good use of time. Hope the Mine cookout was fun.
Will have a gaze, kid!
I like the Weber, Jim, have to say. Mind you, I'd like a smoker rig too, have to add that to the list of: lever gun, new truck and now... BRATS. Yum.
America!
Never owned a gas grill, Adrienne. I like your "repurposing" though.
The burgers were right on!
You won't regret LSP. BEST product we've purchased in decades. Work in Smokers too.
It was hiding in the kitchen, gL.
Sigh... You need a real Texas grill... :-)
Ed -- YES!
Dammit, NFO... I KNOW!!!
Plenty of neat custom jobs for sale round here too. But what comes first, lever, new 12, .357 mag wheel gun, truck, awesome bbq rig?
Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.
I'm inclined towards a new bbq rig, tbh. Though I love the other options too.
We used to use charcoal, but my wife became concerned about what may or may not be in the charcoal fumes/smoke, so we switched to gas. I will concede her point, although at my age, the odds are more in favor of dying "with it" than "from it". DFTR, and I don't, however I don't intend to knowingly deal him any face cards either. Love the line "I don't do fiction" in this clip--

We grill a lot, even in winter. Our current rig is one of these--

Nicely compact as both shelves fold down, easy to maneuver on four casters, and the drip pan slides right out the door for cleaning.
Looking good padre! Fit for a cavalryman from Down Under.
Best outdoor feast ever for Fredd: back in my military days, we would at times be in the field at Hohenfels or Grafenwehr (US military training areas in the old West Germany) for 3 months at a spell in GP medium tents, it would get old. The good old days of 'Reforger,' or Return of Forces to Germany. My military intel battalion (the 533rd MI Bn, serving the D2 of the 3rd Armored Division), where Elvis also served back in the day. That would be Elvis Presley, or Elvis the Pelvis, for those of you who are under 60 years old. He used to be quite the crooner when he wasn't stuffing his face with pizza and Rice Crispy squares. To be fair, I think I preferred the fat Elvis to the skinny Elvis, but that's just me.
Our 30KW generators had magnificent exhaust manifolds, with plenty of spaces to stick cans of C-rats, or meats wrapped in tin foil. Put a few foil wrapped brats on that engine, let 'em bake for maybe 20-25 minutes, and then eat 'em. So good, after eating nothing but cold C-rats for weeks on end, we thought we had died and gone to heaven.
Of course, those burgers of yours look good, too.
*Fall on your scoff like a warrior* I like that a lot.
Good cooking, LSP. if that is indeed your real name...
Make your own burgers, Parson? They do look good.
You all be safe and God bless!
Comrade, your outdoor activities have been monitored and reported to the proper authorities.
Looks good Padre! I prefer rare/med rare, as do my kids. Possibly because they were raised on rare or raw.
Juliette, we conjure with imponderables.
RHT, what great links. And it's weird but gas DOES work.
Huh.
DOS, CHARGE!
Ah, Fredd. I'm not saying that my way is the only way, just that it works. ou may have a different solution, perhaps Aunt Sally cooks up a tastier burger, your call. No "rule." But here at the Compound we make do, and that's just the way it is.
What's your take on Elvis? Serious question.
You too, Linda! Hope that GFM's going well. God bless.
Infidel, I'm surprised you'd leak STATE SECRETS. Surely you knew the drone program was and is classified?
Report yourself, immediately, for reeducation.
I totally agree, Brig. Rare/Med rare is best. These burgers were a little overdone... still, pink in the middle, seared on the outside.
