Been putting the $35 NIB Jumbo Joe through some cooks since getting it this past Saturday. Yesterday was grilled blue cheese burgers and they were good but I thought some smoke would combine well with them. Had enough meat left for one normal and one jumbo burger so tonight I gonna find out if I was correct. The meat was seasoned yesterday so it was perfect for cooking today. I made a small chamber using firebricks for smoking and filled it with lump and topped with a small chunklett of white oak. Temp was high....200f or so....as a result I only smoked these for about 25 minutes. Had to pull em' fast so no pics. Stored in the microwave for about ten minutes while I rearanged the charcoal grate and got some more lump going, then onto the grill. Partway through the cook:
When the seams look like they might split I move them off the heat and close the lid for abit:
Buns toast fast thanks to the high coal bed on this baby:
Thin mayo on the top of the bun, good dijon mustard, onions, s+p on the burger:
Money shot:
I have made burgers the equal of this one but never have I made one better. Should you have served me this with sides and charged me $18 I would have been happy. Now I can make it for less than $2. Boys, if you like blue cheese you GOTTA try making a batch of these babies up - it is about 30 minutes since I ate and the combination of oak, blue cheese and beef persists in my mouth. It is actually making me salivate I write this. Wow. I have been smoking burgers then grilling them or cast iron frying them for about a year and a half now. Big burger man I am so I have done them quite abit. The wife asks for them and I have made men swear by them and about them. Tonight I coulda had a sign up that read, "Damn Good Served Here".
