Well, based on the picture above, I don't think I want a hamburger ever again.

My entry in the 2016 July Burger Blowout!

I didn't have a white bowl, a plate will have to do.

Just curious if using a griddle like a blackstone is allowed for this TD. I don't know if that's technically grilling per the rules?

LYU370 · Jul 4, 2016

Decided to keep on going and enter another throwdown. Beer can burgers. Quick tip, if you put your beercan in a cheap baggie, the can slides right out.

Brisker burger, was out of bacon and too lazy to run out and buy some. Loaded it up with a cheese flap on the bottom, some bad attitude chili, had some leftover diced onions and a couple shots of Tennessee Sunshine to spice it up a bit.

Add a hot hatch chili on top & a couple slices of garlic herb cheese.

Lunch! Please use the following pic for my entry.

Thanks for looking.

LYU370 · Jul 4, 2016

Actually, please use this pic rather than the above pic for my entry. Thanks.

It runs on propane, the same as a gas grill. Food cooked on a gas grill has been allowed, in the past. Whether it's won, I can't tell you.

I see what you mean. I was thinking in terms of grilling surface.

But you can run an oven on propane too... I'd rather say a griddle used outside is grilling.

I could drag my kitchen stove outside, attach a gas line, and call it a gas grill. In the end, I'm going with this.

LYU370 · Jul 5, 2016

Yep, I'd agree with the above. ^^^^^ I personally wouldn't have a problem with it, as there are numerous Blackstone threads in QT. Besides, you can put a griddle on your grill. But if someone has a problem with it, plenty of other entries to vote for... I say go for it! Let's see a nice Oklahoma onion burger. Can't cook that on a grill, but that would definitely be part of a "Burger Blowout".

TD Entry: American Style Kobe Cheeseburger

American (Style) Kobe (Waygu) may not be a match for it's Japanese counterpart, but it is the closest we are likely to find in this country.

So when my wife brought home a pound of American BBQ Co. Kobe Beef, I knew it was time to make burgers.

American BBQ Company's American Style Kobe Beef

With the quality meat, the only thing I added was Naturiffic's Peppery Lime Salt, and it was time to make patties.

Close-up of seasoned burger patty

With the burger patties made, it was time to turn my attention to the grill.
Today's choice was the '50s era cast iron Cue-Grill (made by Atlanta Stove Works) that I restored last fall.
This grill will get extremely hot and is the perfect tool to get this Kobe Beef burger cooked.
There was some charcoal left in the bottom from the last cook, to this I added a hickory split, and then added fresh hot charcoal on top.

With this quality beef, I didn't want to over cook it, so I pulled it at medium rare then dressed it with a slab of sharp cheddar.

Once the cheese had some melt going, the cheeseburger was laid on a foundation of fresh romaine, local tomatoes and crispy bacon and it was time to eat!

(Please use the photo above for the TD entry)

It was ridiculously juicy and tasty with a great crust from the grill and flavor from the seasoning salt.
If you get a chance to make a burger with this type of beef, I highly recommend it!

A Blackstone would more than qualify as a grill, and certainly more than a few entries over the years have been cooked on gas grills. While the definition of a "grill" or "smoker" isn't defined in the rules(though perhaps they should be, though I think for most it is self evident), a good definition would be any outdoor cooker designed for outdoor grilling or smoking would suffice, and that excludes hooking an indoor oven outside to an external gas source, in addition to an indoor smoker box used in an indoor oven.
