Grilled Burgers

Prep Grill: Place your charcoal in a chimney and light it. Once it ashes, dump it into your grill. Push it to one side to create a two-zone cooking area, and add the grill grate. Add the lid and adjust the vents until the grill reaches medium to medium-high heat (350-400F)

Shape Patties: Divide the meat into two portions. Shape into two thick patties that are about an inch wider than the buns. Use your thumb to press a dimple in the center.

Season: Liberally season the top of the patties with Brisket Rub or salt and pepper.

Grill: Place the patties on the grill seasoning side down over direct heat. Season the back side and add another dimple to the center. Close the grill lid. Grill for 4-5 minutes. Flip. Grill for 3-4 more minutes.

Add Cheese: Add cheese slices. Continue cooking to your desired doneness.

Build Your Burger: Remove the patties from the grill and layer on a bun with your favorite toppings.
