Smoked Burgers
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2007 3:48 am
Had a serendipitous experience a week or so ago while grilling burgers for Kate & myself. I was using one of those chimney-type charcoal lighters and put both lump charcoal (the real stuff, not briquettes) and mesquite in it. Well, I thought it was well lit when I dumped it into the grill, but apparently not. It was just hot enough to cook the burgers, but not quite hot enough to sear them. Because it wasn't a high heat I left them on for longer than usual and they came out medium-well with a serious smokey flavor. Kate, who really loves her smokey stuff, said that was the best burger she'd ever had, which surprised me because we usually prefer our burgers seared and medium-raw.
So now I'm trying to figure out how to do it again...
