Chorizo flavoured burgers.

Last time using the grill until spring so figured do a "crowd (of 3)" favourite. I put a mix of herbs and seasonings into ground pork. [smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, mexican oregano, garlic, onion & black pepper]
We first made up "potato chips" My wife thin sliced a potato [thickness of a thick tater chip], i parboiled them for 15 minutes, dusted with smoked paprika and put over direct flame for 5-10 minutes. THey sat on indirect while burgers cooked and then the buns toasted and cheese melts. The chips are still a little soft but really good. I am using what I thought was a mistake last week but seems to be a "good experiment" as it appeared to work last week..
Love still get a smoke ring in a burger. WhooHoo! AS I salt the outside of burger before putting over fire, I get a crust
THe burgers were cooked direct and I used maple wood chips. Yummm-mmmy!

Guys & Gals, my wife goes in on Tuesday for knee replacement surgery so prayers good vibes, whatever, greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the idea. I think one of my next cooks will be ground beef and chorizo burgers.

Maybe a couple on the gasser and a couple on the pellet dispenser.

I do enjoy a smoked burger. If I'm doing pork, I usually use a mix of 50 /50 pork and beef, but I've never (yet) tried a chorizo burger. Sounds good to me.
Prayers sent for your missus.

Those burgers look to be just the way I like them, still a little pink on the inside, nice work! Here's to hoping your wife is up and running laps in no time. RAY

THanks for the good wishes. She want to be dealing with much lower level of paid and be able to walk and do things so highly motivated to succeed.

Burgers cooked to 165F+ where its safe. Our Friday tradition has been burgers. In a Dr. BBQ cookbbok, he had some burger recipes (a burger sausage meat without water, bread crumbs and casing), I was hooked. The seasoning mix changes from week to week.
