Just before I took them up,  Hickory chunks started burning

A little Cheddar Cheese   You can see all the smoke on the Sweet Taters They were

WAY TOO SMOKEY  not good at all.  Threw them in the trash. I usually cook them on

my gas grill and are fine. The charcoal and Hickory just overpowered the potatoes, Bitter.

Gary Burgers look great, what if you didn't slice the Sweet Taters,do you think that would work? Points

Hey thanks guys.  I kjnda thought the potatoes might take on too much smoke but decided to try it anyway

If I would have cooked them like the Ribeye's they would have been fine   Oh well 

On the steaks I just used the bottom with a grate on top

Burgers look Great, Gary!!

Nice Job!!

 Points.

I was hoping your Sweet Taters would turn out Great, because the only way I like Sweet Taters is "Sweet Potato Fries". Figured these would be similar.

Thanks John,   Next time you grill burgers try a sweet potato  a little EVOO  S&P  they actually cook pretty fast on a hot grill   Just not worth a flip smoked  !!

Tasty looking burgers!

Nice looking humbugas, love them smoky.

To bad about them taters, how long were they in the smoke.

Maybe shorter time then onto the grill to finish?

You ruin what??? Man not the sweet taters!!! 

Burgers look good though. We dice white taters with onion butter s&p and foil wrap been thinking about dice sweet taters and foil wrap with brown sugar and butter.

On the smoker wrapping would be the way to go.  Grilled they are really great

Hey Gary.  Nice looking burgers.  Crying shame about the spuds.  I was really looking forward to the outcome.  I thought about it a few times, but never tried it.  I'm thinking smoke them for a while, then foil them to finish, might be worth a try.

Nice looking burgers!  Sorry to hear on the sweet potatoes... I like to toss mine in a bag with some olive oil, chipotle powder, and garlic before tossing in a HOT oven or right over the flame on the grill.  A slight dusting of corn starch seems to help getting a crisp.  Next time!
