i wanted my 1st cook on the Green Ghost to be a little old fashion. what's more old fashion than.......
Green Ghost came w/ a electric starter.
I've have never used one before. always a chimney / newspaper kind of guy. my dad and my FIL used a electric start whenever they started their charcoal. watching it start up and smoke brought a little tear to my eyes. i felt attached to the old guys in my life.
going w/ this set up for my 1st cook.
dumped charcoal down and getting ready for the show.
getting all warmed up.
ok, well i'm making plate burgers. i use my wife's good plates for my forms.
chopped up 2 gloves and added some of this.
4 balls of hamburger on paper plates. time for form burgers.
plate on burger and smash down.
tip of the day: the cool thing about this is that all the burgers are the same thickness. that's a little trick from me to you. how many times do you cook burgers of different sizes and they all get done at different times. not mine. they all finish at the same time.
seasoned w/ some California joe's chipotle.
onto grill grates. lets cook.
1st smoke off the Green Ghost.
looking good so far.
all done. 155° is good enough.
toasted up some buns.
sparky burger = bun, burger, bacon, avocado, lettuce and pace salsa spooned on. oh ya, milk and apples too.
i am so happy. a great 1st cook on the Green Ghost.
