I'm watching this because my neighbor is slow cooking hamburgers and I am getting hungry.

[@CowboyCharcoal]

You guys should have a cook off!

[@Alayalay88]

@@CowboyCharcoal we talked about it and I'm planning on doing pork ribs this summer for a cook off!

This clip makes me and my future wife want to have our own similar weekly show in weekends and have cooking fun!

[@jjod4858]

Every way you cook is fine. BUT, I bought the same glove at Lowe's (For my yard). I would never use that kind of glove for mixing any food.

[@J_GoTTi]

This really is a perfect guide. I know what I’m doing but i always like to see what others do. This truly is perfect.

[@bankhead8ballpool207]

I learned a lot here about grilling. And I also learned that I might be the devil because the way I like my burger is well done with cheese. Nothing else. 😂

[@killerja3]

If you are using store bought groundbeef it should be well down.

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Aint nothing wrong with cooking for how YOU like it!! 🤠

[@assy368]

I just watched a video and he said everything opposite of this 😂 everyone has their own way

[@xTheBlueMeaniex]

My buns are nice and round too!

[@Charlydx21]

Looks awesome, I don’t have or use a thermometer so 4-5 minutes on each side for medium sounds perfect. Thanks 👍

[@berte9008]

*Bought for my son. We have had one for years, works great. Can cook indirect and smoke meat. Done chicken, ribs, turkey, and the regular **MyBest.Kitchen** hot dogs and sausages. Excellent grill*

[@jimmylarge1148]

What’s it called?

[@axiomloves21]

Should I buy this grill? Is recommend. Looks so fragile

[@abelcampos4400]

Awesome 😎 grilling some today!!

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Whoa! 🤠🍔 Tag us in pics so we can see!

[@Doug6714]

Awesome looking burgers.

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Thank you 😋

[@alexsanchez4221]

looks amazing! that slice of tomato was almost the same girth as a the patty lol

[@skilletborne]

Grocery store ground beef tends to be perfect, idk what you're talking about needing wagyu. It tends to be about 70 to 80% lean which is great for burgers. Just don't get something with gristle, but if you like cooking, you already know which supermarket gives you that

[@earthwatcher2012]

Looks like a frickin awesome burger brah ! i need a grill now

[@markennes5208]

Yep, I agree, 145 is about perfect for a BBQ burger - juicy and perfect inside.

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Thanks!

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

Understanding the Levels of Doneness for Hamburger Patties Rare has an internal temperature of 125°F and is completely pink throughout the burger. Medium-rare has an internal temperature of 135°F and is just slight brown inside near the crust of the burger. Medium has an internal temperature of 145°F and a center that is slightly pink while the rest of the meat inside is brown Well-done has an internal temperature of 160 °F and is completely browned throughout the inside. The USDA recommends cooking ground beef to an internal temperature of 160 °F to ensure you’ve killed any harmful bacteria.

[@markennes5208]

@@BlackPanther-yv7ib True, but as Hellen Rennie points out, more people die from riding bicycles than from eating medium rare burgers. 😃

[@nathanielrodriguez9344]

Just finished making charcoal grill burgers and got this in my recommended lol

[@CowboyCharcoal]

hahaha, funny how that works.

[@79awinkler]

What temperature do you get the grill to? How do you get it at that temperature? How do I arrange the coals? How long do I pre cook the coals?

[@JohnDoe-qf1ur]

for grilling, typically 450F+, if you're searing steaks the higher the better. I use Lump charcoal because it burns hotter compared to briquettes. in order to get those temps, open ALL dampers fully. more airflow, more heat. when cooking on Charcoal, it's typically a good idea to put the coals on 1 side. that's called 2 zone grilling. hot side / cool side. when using a charocal chimney, coals are generally ready to go in about 15 mins or so after being lit.

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Hey, Check out our video collection on using charcoal and which to use to help you set up your charcoal grills for success! kzbin.info/aero/PLt5BeIJ-QeNUeEHLlsWCH5qsHS4r6qoQt

[@yasir2jdagame]

Hi there, what is key to make sure that burger don’t break when put in the grill ?

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Thats a great Q. Make sure to chill the meat before putting it on the grill. If it gets too warm, it's likely to break apart.

[@baccaratbob]

Briquettes added to lump hardwood on a Primo? Hmmmm, Is that recommended?

[@easypimpin123]

“Our buns are nice and round.” Mmmm…

[@720channel]

thank you for awesome video! Please tell me what name this charcoal grill?

[@CowboyCharcoal]

This is a Primo grill

Dang hungry after this here going get me a burger now

[@eddievenuto1862]

I like your video. My gas grill broke. I put charcoal in the grill. I use it as charcoal grill. I like charcoal grill better than gas grill

[@ishaqkhodor1388]

How long does it stay on grill for usually?

[@earthwatcher2012]

4 min each side brah

[@n.s.3410]

Nice crib

[@panchovilla4005]

Cool video. Those gloves though. Feels like I was watching how to do my own car brakes in my garage.

[@funnymandre]

Can you do a video on the best gloves to use?

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Great idea - we will make sure to give ideas on our favorite grilling gloves in a future video!

[@leedraven20]

Grease with butter?

[@northroyaltondad]

Great grill ideas...especially the onion on the grill...but that's totally green screen

[@Eldragonic]

What’s the name of your grill

[@ericg649]

Great video!! I think onion on the coals is a great idea and some famous smokehouse does it. But, if there is oil left on the onion I think it would cause extra flare ups. 🤷‍♂️

[@CowboyCharcoal]

You always want to be cautious of flare ups. We keep a squirt bottle of water near by when grilling just in case.

[@deciog432]

"so were going to start with ground wagyu." ok this video isnt for me or anyone making burgers in real life.....

[@NipplWizard]

4 words, Tony Chacheres - Spatula tongs. Never tear up a burger again. Thats assuming you season your grill often enough

[@TheDrunkenBBQ]

A good burger a day keeps the doctor away. I'm using my 1st bag of cowboy charcoal for my video's this week, so far it works real good.

[@robb7988]

🤙

[@axiomloves21]

So what was the cook time of the burger?!?

[@kobeandgary]

just get you a instant read meat thermometer, somewhere between 145f to 160f internal temp (depending on your personal preference) will get you a great burger.

[@FasterthanSpeed414]

4 a side like the video fucking said lol

[@05dturner]

I love to fuckin cook. Never did too much cooking when I was younger, but now I think of it as a right of passage into manhood.

[@universalbeats352]

u make me want to eat my iphone 11

[@erickherrera4539]

Why did u flip the burger alot?

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Even cooking. These had a high fat content so it just allowed the burger to be rotated and cooked evenly.

[@buenaondaoutdoors967]

The meats been through the grinder, I don't think mixing it up with ur hands will do any harm. Just saying

[@vencinsojarocoleminii4262]

Why those gloves? Nice vid though. Ty.

[@sscnw]

Marbling in ground beef? Most of us just call that fat.

[@jiceBERG]

You mumbled the one bit of information I wanted to hear, 15 or 50% mesquite? That's a big difference.

[@CowboyCharcoal]

15% real mesquite wood

[@Thuggin4Jesus]

Hope you washed your hands before you toasted those buns

[@joeparker1176]

Careful, many wood species can have reddish heartwood so color alone is not a reliable way to identify wood chunks like those.

Those are lowes work gloves
