    I used your grilling technique on my weber kettle tonight (did not have a chimney). Burgers and hot dogs were OUTSTANDING! Thank you very much!!!

    Thanks for your work! I've been an outdoor griller for decades but it's only thanks to videos like this one that I've really learned the ways to do it right. Great info.

    Tried this method with 1/4 patties and they came out medium rare. For medium well to well done I had to go 8-10 minutes in the cool zone.

    Thanks for the video! How do you clean the sear grate? I did not see you cleaning before using it, just light up the fire and put the meat on? I just bought one sear grate and trying to figure how to clean / keep it clean. Thanks

    Yes cuts down on flare ups but also holds in the heat to finish off the burgers in the cool zone. They need extra time to finish cooking.

    Standard burgers are either 1/4 lb (4 oz) or 1/3 lb (5.3 oz). Those look like 1/3 lb burgers.

    tip, dont squish them, this actually releases juices, so it may have less flavor but i do recommend dimpling it so it doesn't curl into a football.

    I did not squish the burgers. Just used enough pressure to ensure the entire burger was making contact with the seer grate. Thank you for watching my video.

    What’s the advantage to doing them this way vs a “reverse sear” method?
