Lookin' good zip.How you like that Lodge griddle? I've been thinking of getting that model (they make 2 models)
 
motocrash - This one works excellent on the 22.5 webber

crazy good burgers ... and yes a blackstone would be better but this works
 
I have got to try my griddle in my kettle. That looks amazing
 
Those look good, You can't have to many grilled onions on a burger!!!

I got a Camp Chef last month and have done smash burgers a couple of times on it. Family loves them, and I love how quick I can feed 6-8 people.

I have been using this method https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/03/the-food-lab-maximize-flavor-by-ultra-smashin.html

Instead of the standard 1/4 patty, you do (2) 2oz patties. With Cheese in the middle. You get the ultimate amount of crust, and from time meat hits griddle until it hits the bun is 1 minute. Don't think you could do them without cheese as they would be dry without the help of the cheese, but who the heck eats a smash burger without cheese anyway :-) !!!

Thanks ... My son wants to eat these every night now! That article describes just how the maillard reaction happened when I cooked these. And this is fast! I had to call my wife out to help toast buns to keep up!

I cant wait to fire up this griddle again... best 14.00 I spent
 
Nice Looking Burger you got there Zippy!!:)
And Onions just the way I like them too!
Nice Job!

LOL, first time I took the buns out still in the bag and a stick of butter, boy did I learn my lesson! Now I butter them before I go outside.

The first time I also used my griddle spatula to flip them, when I reread the article again, I saw where they use a big scraper. So instead of my spatula I used my dough scraper, and wow was that better, they come up perfect with absolutely all of the crust on them.

Between smoker and griddle the inside stove is getting lonely this summer, LOL. I make breakfast on it almost every AM, and quite a few dinners.

Mongolian style stir fry and fried rice on the next things I want to try on it.
 
Shazam! I don't know how I missed this Zippy. Sorry Im late to your smash burger party! Those onions look perfect!
