a while back during the special I got the burger sampler pack. I have been working my way through these and had the same issues as others with the meat being ground so course with so much fat, that they are hard to get to hold together.
I did up a pound Sunday night and tried a different way. I spread out the meat on a plate, seasoned it with herbs and salt / peppar, and packed it against the plate into very tight patties. I slid them off the plate onto my frog mats and smoked them in the smoker at 275.
I never turned the burgers and the smoke along with the fat rendering, was an awesome addition.
The trick for me has always been to keep the meat cold. The fat stays sticky and the patties form nicely. Then when you cook them you can get a good medium rare with loads of juices.
awesome things… I have all sizes and use them every weekend. I do everything but high heat grilling on them. I do seafood, pork shoulders, briskets, fish, you name it…last for years. I have some that are 3 years old now but are getting a little frayed.
as an update I just checked the bbq forum and found out another vendor now has these at almost half the price
google amazen products and look for q mats…they sell them by the roll or foot.
Has anybody used the Burger Builder on their website lately? I wanted to place an order but cant seem to get past the fact the site insists that I make a selection from all 4 possibilities. As an example for 1 pack I just want 4 lbs of 100% Waygu, no additives but it wont let me add this to the cart. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks I have called in the past with great results, but I’m in the middle of a 9am-9pm work week and was hoping to get the order in. Apparently I’m the only dolt who can’t figure it out, I’ll send him an email though tonight
