Burgers...flat top or charcoal? I've been cooking exclusively on charcoal for 25 years now. Just got a Blackstone and did burgers for first time on it. The family absolutely prefers the flat top. I think I could go back and forth depending on my mood...but never thought it would be a question. Which brings me to the next time I do steaks. Do I abandon charcoal flavor all together? To sear on Blackstone and move to grill....or do I abandon charcoal unless I'm doing barbecue from here out. It's a tough crossroads in my life.

For starters, we don't remember you and therefore you should be posting tiddie pigs ITT. Because it's Friday and I'm in a GREAT mood imma answer your question assuming you'll be providing the tiddies. If you don't pay up let's just say you'll get crossed off the Jounge Christmas list.

First one is easy. Steaks? Char. Coal. All day long.

Burgers? Depends. For me, if you are looking for a big juicy yummy burger I'd suggest slow playing them on the charcoal grill. If on the other hand you are in the mood for sliders, smashburgers, oklahoma smash burgers, chopped cheese, or the like.....Blackstone all day long.

It may all come down to what size your wife's buns are. That's a good general guide that some poor in here without a blackstone will dispute and you should know in advance that brokebastard is 100% incorrect.

Good luck, I'll be patientbearing for the melkers.

Grilling reigns supreme

Jul 7, 2023, 12:51 PM

Hey there, Boogs

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to touch base with you on a topic that has been buzzing in my mind lately — the age-old debate of grilling versus frying hamburgers. Now, before we dive into the meat of the matter, I must warn you: what I'm about to reveal might shake your world a bit. So check yo'seff before you wreck yo'seff

Let's cut straight to the chase: grilling hamburgers is far superior to frying them on a griddle, and today, I'm going to expose the insidious disinformation campaigns perpetuated by the Big Griddle Money interests. Yes, you read that right — there's a hidden agenda lurking behind griddle manufacturers. It's time to unmask their oily motives.

Firstly, let's talk about the taste. Grilling imbues burgers with that smoky, charred goodness that simply cannot be replicated on a griddle. The flames dance around the patty, caramelizing the outer layers and sealing in those mouthwatering juices. The result? A flavor explosion that griddle-fried patties can only dream of. It's like a symphony for your taste buds, with a bass line from RH Tig

Now, you might have heard the griddle enthusiasts sing praises of the even cooking surface it provides. But let me ask you this: is uniformity all we desire in life? Grilling allows for variations in heat, giving you the power to customize each burger. Want a medium-rare masterpiece or a well-done delight? With grilling, the choice is yours. Griddles offer no such freedom, shackling your creativity and culinary prowess.

Let's not forget the great outdoors. Grilling is a social experience, my friend. Picture this: a sunny afternoon, a gathering of friends and family, the tantalizing aroma of sizzling patties wafting through the air. Can you feel it? It's a communal celebration, a bonding ritual around the flames. Griddles confine you to the boundaries of the kitchen, robbing you of the true grilling spirit.

Now, I must address the myths spread by griddle propaganda. They claim that griddles are easier to clean and more versatile than grills. But let's be honest here — a little elbow grease and a good grill brush can easily clean those grates, while offering an excuse for some light exercise. And versatility? Grills can cook everything from vegetables to seafood, whereas griddles are merely one-trick ponies.

Boogs, my friend, it's time to see through the smokescreen of misinformation. Don't let the griddle manufacturers fool you into thinking they hold the key to burger perfection. Grilling is an art form, a sacred ritual passed down through generations. Embrace the smoky symphony, revel in the freedom of customization, and join us in the great outdoors!

I look forward to firing up the grill with you soon, my friend.
