HOW TO MAKE THE BEST SMASHBURGER ON BLACKSTONE GRIDDLE - DOUBLE BACON SMASHBURGER!

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching! We recognized this cooked a bit cooler than is typical for a Smashburger, but it still turned out amazing! Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be perfect to be delicious!

[@Navarro87]

I flip it as many times as needed... sometimes even a few extra times just for fun 😂

[@vetterfellow]

I'm a Flipper too. I usually don't put my Buns on the Grill.

[@4seasonsbbq]

It depends for me on how I cook it. I like my bacon very crisp so on my Blackstone without a press I will flip multiple times. On my Blackstone with my 18"x24" see thru press bacon cooks a lot faster so only one flip. Most of the time I cook my bacon in the over @375° for 30-35 minutes no flips perfect every time. Those are my favorite ways.

[@waltwins]

Yes!! Right?! Just love being active!!

[@waltwins]

Gotcha - love flipping! The buns just gives it extra if you like it toasted.

[@thoughtbox]

That grill is cold, can’t even get a crust on ground beef.

[@waltwins]

There was a crust for sure, but you are right, it took longer than expected. This was the first cook on the griddle as mentioned and it cooked cool. Since this cook it’s been amazing. Thanks for watching!🤙

[@fjl1637]

Love the air fryer drawers...didn't know that was even available. I have the old style 36" Blackstone griddle with the drip pan on the side and no lid. Since I also have a Weber 36" Genesis natural gas grill, a Traeger Pro 780 pellet smoker, a 22" Kettleman Char Broiler charcoal grill and a free standing utility sink w/ sprayer...When my 36" griddle isn't use, I place a 48" x 24" x 3/4" poly board on top of the Blackstone to use as an outdoor utility table. I don't have a steak weight so I take a clean brick and wrap it in heavy duty aluminum foil to use as a meat press. Love your videos bro...keep it up!

nice burgers ... lift up the rear of your griddle and add a washer on the 2 rear pegs the griddle surface sits on ,, may need 2 on each till it is level .. when its level, omelettes come out easy also..

Perfect! I’ll be heading to Lowe’s tomorrow to grab some! Thanks so much for the advice!

[@photoman52beta]

If you take your burger smasher and smash the hamburger all you can, then put your spatula down on the hamburger, and then use the smasher on top of the spatula. It will give better leverage on your smashing technique. I use my Blackstone, breakfast bacon press for my smash burgers; the hamburger doesn't stick to it at all. Great video Adam.

[@waltwins]

Yes! Excellent call! Since this video, I have purchased the Blackstone XL press and it has made an amazing difference!

[@BagsEsquire]

I saw you used canola to season the griddle but is that also the oil you prefer to use in all your cooking as well?

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching! I have used canola, vegetable, avocado, and olive oil for cooking. My main go-to’s now are vegetable and avocado oils. 🤙🤙

[@BagsEsquire]

WALTWINS thank you so much for the replies, love the channel, learning a lot. Hate to ask another question but I’m planning on seasoning today and given what you’ve learned and your above response, would you still go with canola for the seasoning?

[@waltwins]

What an excellent question! You know, before, I was kind of agains flax seed, just because it’s harder to find. I happened to find some at Walmart, and have used it to reseason, and it really is an excellent choice. I find the higher smoke point gives it a strong cooking surface, and while it still will flake over time, it may last a bit longer. However, I’d have no problem continuing with Canola, even grape, vegetable oil etc. 🤙🤙

[@jaredcollins6302]

I am so excited about this griddle. Smashburgers are the bomb! Deliciousness!

[@countrymagic61]

Awesome!!! I just picked up a 17" for overlanding/camping. Got it at Tractor Supply on Veteran's Day and got a 15%off (I am a Veteran). Got it for about $110. Read the manual for seasoning and cleaning. Also watch other on KZbin and compare. 28" may be too large for your oven. Since mine is a 17", I'll be using the oven method. Wishing you the best with your new griddle 👍

[@dougcooper5740]

Something I discovered that people seem to love...I pre cook the bacon and rough chop it. That keeps you from pulling off a whole piece when you bite. I leave the bacon slightly undercooked and toss it in the griddle before putting it on the burger.

[@waltwins]

Yessir!! Honestly, I want to keep this tip for next time, excellent suggestion fam!!🔥🔥🤙🤙

[@brianheaney2703]

Make them all the time.. You want high heat. It was odd to see them take so long. You want a quick seer. That how you get the crust

[@waltwins]

Brian Heaney thanks so much for watching - agree. If you see after the bacon is cooked, the burners were cranked. This was the first cook on the new Blackstone and it cooked cooler - the only reason we kept the vid, is because we still came away with a sear that kept the juices, and it was delicious. We’ve made them many times since and they’ve been better with higher heat - we’ll be doing another video soon!

[@brianheaney2703]

@@waltwins all good.. Love the video... In Orlando as well. Need to get that version of the blackstone

[@cecho9367]

I’ve learned something very valuable anytime I cook bacon with any other type of food. I use the bacon grease instead of oil and butter. I clean off most of the bacon grease and leave enough for whatever I’m cooking. The food tastes better and I use a lot less oil so I save money too! 😁

[@waltwins]

Oh yeah!! We’ve started to do this more, and even my daughter who does not like bacon, loves the food cooked in the bacon! So good!!😄😄🔥🔥

[@jschrack822]

Higher heat will cook a smashburger in 3 minutes max. You could have been eating by now. Lay your oil down and when it smokes, its ready. and if you want to use your smasher and want them thinner fold your parchment paper a few times.

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching - we have a newer vid that uses the high heat and a much quicker cook - this one was the first cook on the griddle, and it cooked cooler than expected, which is why we did the new video.🤙🤙

Walt twins are the bomb.

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much fam!!🔥🔥🤙🤙

[@reklaw8017]

i'm wondering if having the air fryers on is lowering the propane going to the griddle, on mine (no air fryer) if i was on the heat setting you were on for that amount of time my bacon would be black. It didn't seem to be getting very hot, did you find it much hotter when you seasoned it? looks like a good season so i assume so. Welcome to the club, i'm sure you will love it, all i do is watch blackstone videos and cook :) it is taking over my life!!!!!

[@waltwins]

Haha! I hear you! Are you in any of the FaceBook groups? I spend way too much time looking at what everyone is cooking! The flame is just below the griddle, and the air fryers are below those flames. After the initial cook here, the heat has been perfect. Not sure if it was because this was the first cook, but I was wondering why it was taking so long. Love this thing, I cook on it almost daily, and used if for all three meals yesterday for Mother’s Day! Thanks so much man!🤙

[@smokeyduck9733]

I was so confused about that too. All his burners were set on high, and on my Blackstone those burgers would have been ready to flip in a little over a minute with a much better sear on them if it was set to high. Also, after he smashed them he gave it a little while and moved all the patties around. You won't get that good crust if you do that. Don't touch them until they're ready to flip

[@waltwins]

Yes! I’m loving what I’m learning with this thing! Getting used to it all has been a blast - thanks so much for the comment!🤙

[@smokeyduck9733]

Regardless they still looked delicious! One other tip I'll throw in is using a different burger press. If you use one that is completely flat (and preferably kind of heavy like cast iron) you get better down pressure and the sear will be much better. But like I said, I'm sure they still tasted phenomenal!

[@waltwins]

Smokey Duck yes! The day after I shot this vid, I ran down to Lowe’s and picked up a bacon press. We’ve made SMASHBURGERs 4 times since.... there may be a follow up video in a couple of months!🤣. Thanks so much for the feedback!🤙

[@waltwins]

Wow, what an honor man! I watched your unboxing and first seasoning videos! In fact, before I did my video I should have paid closer attention to your first seasoning - I followed the Blackstone instructions, and did not turn the burners on after cleaning before I threw the first coat of oil on. Mine was still fine, but I think you get a much better overall surface starting with it hot (and it starts to brown from the burn). Really appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@kayatwood5183]

We are a one turn an done group. One tip I would make is once you have your burger the flatness you want don't press it down again. It allows the juices to stay in the meat. Also if they bow up press a small dent in the middle before you turn. That is just my opinion. We also love our burgers a little thicker but I know that is not a smash burger. Loved watching you cook.

[@kissbrettdouglas]

[@tylersnyder6756]

@@waltwins stupid question but are the fries fresh out of the freezer or do you need to thaw them first?

[@EricWilliamsDrums]

Man, I want to get one of these someday! Crank that heat to get a better sear and hold the fat in. Cooking on low renders out the fat and moisture vs. high heat especially for the smash, the caramelization from the smash forces them to rise up and that's when you flip it to seal it inside!

[@thetoolman5380]

Great video! Love the channel. I have the same model blackstone. It’s awesome! I have had it a few months now and went through some propane! Lol. I know this video is a year old but I wanted to point something out. Since I have that same model I see here you had yours on high a lot. I found that if you light all the burners at once there is something that slows the propane flow way way down. It happened twice on my grill with half a bottle of propane. Read somewhere it’s possibly a safety thing to not flow that much propane at once. the regulator stops it. Not really sure but I changed to a full tank to see and it happened again. The fix was to light them one or two at a time. Then adjust. The flames get really high and hot when it’s right. Barely past low when it’s not no matter where the dial is set. When it happened the griddle wasn’t getting hot and it was strange. You can definitely tell the difference when it’s working right. The air fryer model and the pro series get really really hot. After watching your video I said there is no way on high for a while can I get close to the griddle to smash burgers. That bacon would be black in 5 minutes. I have to go to medium to smash burgers and still get that crust. I’m watching your awesome video and seeing burners on high and it’s not looking very hot. That model gets really really hot fast! Todd will tell ya too! Also that model uses a high flow of propane with the air friers and all going that blackstone doesn’t recommend the natural gas kit for it. Propane burns three times hotter than Natural Gas they say. So the poor thing might not get hot enough. I love mine and have gotten two more! 22 e series and two burner adventure series. They have helped me lose 30 lbs in too months. They are amazing 🤩. My two cents! Happy Griddling !!

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching and the insight - this was actually the very first cook ever on this unit and there was a flow issue - we always cook on low or med/low (a few hundred videos in, and we always have it set med/low😂😂). We’ve also done a couple of videos with Todd - he’s amazing! Take care fam and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙

Griddle temp for Smashburgers?

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching! This particular cook was not coming up to temp, but you want the griddle hot! We set our Blackstone to medium high heat (because it cooks really hot - high isn’t necessary) - we say over 400 degrees will get you a good sear!🤙🤙

[@DaveDabomb]

Adam, those are some delicious looking burgers! Great cook bro! I’m a frequent bacon flipper. I never get tired of smash burgers on my Blackstone. There’s no restaurant anywhere around here that can make or smash burger is good as I can. IMO. TFS! Take care my friend 😎✌️

[@waltwins]

Boom! Agreed! What I love about making Smashburgers, is trying to make every one better than the last one! Thanks so much again man!!🤙🤙

How do you keep the burger meat from sticking to the cast iron smasher? Love you guys.

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much for watching! While I like to put a small amount of oil on the press to help, Brett has always had success me by making sure he has a good press, and the releasing slowly. The tried-and-true method is to use parchment paper, which we’ve also done. Hope this helps!! Take care!!🤗🤗🔥🔥

You are right about the cheese. Kraft singles are technically not 'cheese' but cheese product. Says so on the package. There is a Kraft deli deluxe one that is actually cheese and that one is good for smash burgers.

Oh good to know! Thank you so much for the recommendation of the Kraft Deli Deluxe and for watching!🤙🤙

Everything looks delicious I'm so jealous now I want the barbecue tonight but it's 105° outside I flip my bacon once if I'm cooking it on the grill but I usually bake it in the oven I'll have to take a road trip to Florida I need some of those delicious burgers 😃🍔🍟

[@waltwins]

lucas mcquillan hahaha! Come to Florida man! For sure - we actually also really like bacon in the oven - only frying it on the griddle here is more fun and I love the way it turned out. Thank you so much as always!!

105...now that’s hot! Grill anyways! Then go back in the AC, pop open a cold beer, and enjoy! You’re keeping the heat outside still👍 Dave DaBomb comin attcha 😎👍

[@fjl1637]

P.S. I use a digital surface thermometer gun to check the griddle surface temp. I bought it from Harbor Freight...Usually cheaper then buying from the food guys that sell on Amazon!

[@ViapreeProject]

Great job Adam! The burgers came out great! Like the two cheeses. I’m really going to Look into getting one. How do you clean it?

[@waltwins]

Thank you so much man! It’s actually really easy - it’s more of a scraping of the angering stuck on, wipe down, and then you re-season it with a layer of oil when it cools down, rub the oil in and cover it. I’ll eventually do a tutorial for cleaning - those really helped me to learn!

[@BBBYpsi]

To make those real smash burgers do not keep pressing with the spatula. You do that your pressing the juices out of them. You get that really good sear is why you put it on high then when juices bubble out of top you turn them once only. The reason some of the bacon was cooking faster is because you put a few slices over where you have the burner turned off. If your gonna use almost all of the space you need to have all three burners on.

[@waltwins]

You are correct! This was the first cook after seasoning the griddle, and the heat was a little less predictable. I also didn’t expect the patties to be so thick at first, but since this video, have got it down, following the technique you mentioned, plus the addition of a bacon press which has helped with a good quiz press, allowing me to get my meat cooked in less than 4 minutes. Thank you for the advice!🤙

[@BBBYpsi]

@@waltwins Nice & great griddle you have there. I live in a apartment & have a small outside balcony. So limited space but have the 17 inch blackstone. Thinking about upgrading to the 22 inch. But last year took it camping & cooked every meal on it for myself & buddies camping 3 day weekend. Will do it again this year.

[@waltwins]

Boom! That’s awesome! Brett (the other twin), made his toasted cheddar grilled cheese on his new 22” (previous vid), and he can’t get enough of his BS either! Have any go-to items you love to griddle?

[@rayval123]

Hi I'm a new follower, and I noticed your at full heat on all 4 knobs. When I go full tilt the greace would be going crazy. I think you may need to burp your system. What temp was that?

[@waltwins]

Hey! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, this was the very first cook on this unit, and it started much cooler. It took much longer than expected. We put up another “Better Smash” video as well as a “cheese skirt” vid, in which the smash process went as it should. This one was too cool for sure, but the outcome was still delicious! Take care Raymond!

[@chipitdipit]

Red Robin...YUMMM! Those are some of my favorite fries as well! Good choice. Good to see you cook food on the new toy. I know you were waiting for this one. I am sure you were like a kid in a candy store. You know bacon with ANYTHING is going to be a good thing. Bacon covers a multitude of wrongs :) Man, you made me soooo hungry with that Adam. I will be over tomorrow for lunch!!! Those burgers look soooo good! I think your grill looked a little jealous next to the griddle. Man...you have to stop eating in front of us...some of us want some too :) I think you need to grill up some BBQed Chicken! Now there is something that will taste and smell good! I have a feeling you might be cooking on that thing for every meal. Don't forget to go inside the house sometime :) Have a great day and weekend. Keep safe and God bless!

I’m so confused I want a black stone. But do they always cook this cold ? It can’t even toast buns or cook bacon in under 20 minutes

[@waltwins]

This was the first cook, as mentioned in the pinned comment. The bacon was deliberately cooked low, but the temp did not come up - I did not anticipate it, even being the first cook on the new Blackstone. Since the first cook, it’s been amazing!

Thank you so much for watching! That is a tough question! It’s hard to compare because the regular 22” with propane is an exclusive outdoor device, while the e-series is primarily for indoor use. Both will create a great Smashburger though!! Good luck and let us know what you decide!!🔥🔥🤙🤙

Get that temp up to at least 400 before smashing those burgers. Get yourself an Etekcity 774 on Amazon to get an idea of how your griddle heats up. I'm sure they still tasted amazing.
