Good looking burgers!!! I love them this way and if you don't have the baking steel use the back side of grill grates! Don

I think a fast-seared burger on the flat top is one of life's real treats!  I also like the flavor of good old fashioned charcoal broiled burgers (this is where a Weber kettle really shines).  But, there's a way to almost get the best of both worlds:  Reverse sear some moderately thick patties for about thirty minutes (my old Traeger does this well) then flash cook them on a steel, griddle, or (as suggested) even the back side of Grill Grates.  You'll get the tasty caramelization from the fry and a subtle tinge of smoke from the reverse sear.

I have several griddles I cook on, normally on my Camp Chef stove. I use them for burgers, steaks, fajitas, blackening fish or chicken.

Great looking burgers and nice pictures!  Lately I seem to prefer a 'flat top' type cook on the grill for my burgers. Where did you find that Baking Steel? 'cause now I NEED one.  ;)

I love it for pizza and bread. Need to try the burgers!

Nothing like flat top burgers! I use my Lodge cast iron reversible skillet for them... works great!
