It's been a long time since I've posted a cook thread, and probably longer since I bought a custom griddle from Dave "DWFisk" for my 26.5" Weber kettle. It's been setting idly by all winter patiently waiting for its debut. Well, the wait is over...

I'm finalizing the blend of a new prototype rub that we will be coming out with soon, and thought it would be a great time to test it out on some beef sliders along with Dave's custom griddle. So, here's how it went...

First, I made some "slider sauce", which consisted of:
  • 1 CUP Ketchup
  • 1/2 CUP Real Mayo
  • 2 Tbsp Habanero Death Dust

Then, I sliced up some Vidalia onions very thin and made golf ball-sized balls of 80/20 ground beef, seasoned with our new prototype rub. :icon_shy :tape:

Next, I lit about 3/4 chimney of Kingsford and spread them evenly under the DWFisk griddle. Within a few minutes, the griddle was reading 350-400º across the surface, so it was time to start making sliders.

The process is easy: smash them out on the griddle, and put a layer of super-thin onions on top...

Then, start building the finished burger...

Top with some "slider sauce" and then the money shot....

Great looking sliders! I just recently acquired the Arteflame accessory for my 26 (also a big griddle) and I have yet to use it. This thread may force me to rectify that situation as those are some darn nice looking sliders.
 
Dayum, Mike!

Both the grub and that kit from Dave in FL looks great!

Really curious about the prototype rub on the sliders...
 
WOW. They look awesome.


I have a CI griddle for my 22 kettle.


Gonna have to try some sliders.
 
Incredible job Mike!!! Thanks for the suggestion on the slider sauce. Love the habenero death dust and will use it with ketchup and mayo as they are two of my favs. Can't wait to try it. Also, when will the new rub be out?!? Can't wait to try it. Man, between you and Jeanie's cooks I am in awe!
