No big deal...Just a burger...

Your burger sounds great!!   I can't see any picture though.
I just made smash burgers last night!!   I feel bad, I've been neglecting my Kettles since I got a Blackstone griddle.
I did an (half azzed) experiment at a summer BBQ I had.  I made 10 smash burgers on the Blackstone and 10 1/2lb burgers on the charcoal, just to see what would happen.   I made one big batch of burger meat.  The only difference was the weight, and how they were cooked.   The guests seemed to want the smashburgers over the fire grilled ones!
I personally haven't decided if I like one over the other yet... it's a mood thing.

@SMOKEFREAK, please help, why cook burgers over cast iron rather than directly on the grates?  Similar to indoor cooking on a griddle, like many restaurants and take-out joints?

Well there are so many answers to this question...
First I needed bacon for my burger...So I used the griddle...Dumped the fat...Then cooked the burgers on the griddle...Seemed right at the time...
Second, more and more I like the taste of a griddle fried burger over the taste of a straight up grilled burger...But that's just me...
Third, I love using my CI on the charcoal grill...
So why not just cook it in a pan in the house?
Well I have this uncontrollable urge to burn charcoal and drink beer...I can't be the only one...
AND my wife says I make too much mess when I cook in the house...
I win 

All of these reasons in its entirety.  My same thoughts exactly.
