Burgers on the Pit Barrel
« Reply #-1 on: June 28, 2016, 01:16:09 PM »
I haven't seen any information on anyone cooking burgers on their Pit Barrel so I thought I would put one out here.  I know this is going to sound strange, but some of the best ones that I have had were the Angus burgers from Walmart.  I have tried brisket burgers from the butcher and some of their fresh ones and these were the best.  I cook them in the Pit Barrel with the lid covered to 155 degrees.  I use the iGrill 2 to monitor the temps via Bluetooth on my phone.  The iGrill 2 is now owned by Weber (it was iDevices).  Doing it this way has always produced an amazing juicy burger.  I am cooking them with Kingsford Blue (about 1/2 full and lit with lighter fluid) and a small handful of Jack Daniels wood chips.  I start the coals and I only let them heat up about 10 min.  It's kinda nice biting into a burger with a smoke ring.  Pictures are of a burger with cheese, avocado, caramelized onions and bacon.  One picture also shows some corn and pork belly also done on the Pit Barrel.  I'm thinking these may have to be made this 4th of July!!

I've done quite a few burgers but haven't tried them with the cover on yet. I normally leave the lid off and let the coals get screaming hot. Your food looks awesome!

My wife likes just a "hint" of cheese on hers.  More for me.

You guys sure are having fun and turning out great looking cooks with your PBSs.
To bad for Sweetie and I that we no longer like a charcoal taste because we are missing out.

The Angus burgers from Wal-Mart are real good. I had a choice rib-eye from them when they started hyping their steaks a couple of years ago that was darn proper as well...............

Burgers take roughly 15-18 min.   I don't know for sure because I am using the I Grill 2 temp probes because I want to make sure I don't go overall and dry them out.  I put cheese on around 152 degrees (and put the buns on the grill at the same time).  Then I pull them around 155 degrees.  Usually about 5 min.  When they come off, they are very juicy.
