After doing a few "trial runs" this week, I decided to pull the trigger on my burger throwdown meal.

Burgers...check. Onion rolls and cheese...check. BBQ sauce...check. Beer...check and double check.

Here is some serious beef-grease-stoked flameage.

I brushed on a bit of bbq sauce and tossed the buns in to toast.

I removed the buns (just a little too late) and topped each patty with Vermont cheddar cheese.

And here's the final product. It goes: toasted onion roll, brown mustard, BBQ cheeseburger patty, another BBQ cheeseburger patty, a couple of crispy onion rings, a sprinkling of yet more BBQ sauce and the top of the roll.

I paired it with a small pile 'o tots and a spinach salad. You know, for health reasons!

On the subject of toasting bread, Mario Batali once said there's a fine line between perfect and burnt.

Dang...looks alot like my burgers yesterday. Good stuff indeed. Do you prefer to keep the grate in the lower position. I tried both and actually like the grate a bit higher. I found that when I cheap out and use the 73% (not so) lean beef, the flames overpower the meat when it is on the low grate.
 
Aquablue - Yuengling is my favorite "cheap" beer. We waited in GA for years before it was available for sale.

Hockeyfox - I cooked these burgers very differently than I usually do. This was "market" ground beef, and I think it had quite a bit more fat than usual. I usually use chuck.

Normally I make 7oz (or so) burgers, but since this one was going to be a double I made them 5oz and much thinner. Since they were thinner, I cooked them at 550* vs. 450*. At 450* I cook burgers on the lower grate position so I'll get a bit more browning. Next time I do "high temp" burgers I'll move the grate to the top position.

I got lucky this time. There wasn't enough "flame broiled" taste to overwhelm the burger.
