Hey mike, as I’m new to the kc smoker, I’ve been watching all your videos and can’t wait to get started cooking. One question, I watched ur video about burnin and seasoning, but what about cleaning the griddle and even the smoker side in between cookings? Can u do a video on that? I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.

[@rickyvalenz6410]

Looks delicious as always! As someone new to the smoking arena I've learned so much from your videos. They're always so informative. Simple step by step instructions. Keep up the great work!

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks, Ricky! 😎

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Smoked burgers surprised me the most! It’s in the top 4 of everything that’s we’ve smoked so far! Great video Mike!

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks, Anderson! You’re right... there is just something special about a smoked burger. 😁

[@Nikkyeshiva83]

How do you keep the dust off the grates?

[@ABONE1]

What's the water for? And do you always cover the bottom with foil?

[@spoilerwarning28]

What temp did you set the pellet smoker to?

[@BrentTouchstone]

So I used to smoke burgers like this indirect with charcoal. I moved to an apartment and couldn't grill a couple years. Now I'm back in a house and using a pellet grill. My burgers keep coming out rubbery and that never happened before. I don't get it; same thing with chicken skins. I used to have the best burgers and crunchiest chicken skin. Any tips? The grill is doing great with Briskets, Pork butt, ribs, etc

[@badabing2714]

What temp did you use for burgers ?

[@andrewdollins2321]

nothing like a dual cooker to do the smoke and sear!!! You should hit them burgers on that hot side about 1 minute a side to make them perfect.

[@freefall96]

Damn dude that is one fine burger!! Not sure why some of these other people with burger videos don't put onion, tomato, lettuce.. you nailed it!! Looks fantastic!

[@fweddyfwintsone4491]

Honey, I love you, but Mike the Weekend Warrior will be making my burgers from now on.

[@juananjelnafarrate682]

How thick are the patties? I want them exactly like that!

[@johnmanthey2683]

Your snow is gone. Pit Boss finally quit discriminating against us in flyover country. On of our Walmart’s finally got the KC Combo and the Lockhart in. They are nice for sure. Too big for my space. I think I’m going with the series 3 vertical and the Classic for my complete smoking needs. 🍔 looked really good. Nothing like a toasted buttered bun. Sold show Buckeye.

[@kevinlindsay5255]

Just a quick question if i may , why did you chose to put the seasoning on the outside and not mix it in to the burger meat before forming them into the burger patties. Just interested to know the thought process behind your method

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

You can mix it in if you like. My reasoning is the seasoning on the outside will help form a crust.

[@kevinlindsay5255]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ cheers fella just wanted to know, the crust idea sounds cool

[@wcooper0077]

Something I have started doing with my burgers. I like to mix ground pork into my burger. Usually I do 4 pounds to 1 pound of pork. Might try it. It adds alot of juice and doesn't really take away from the flavor of a burger. I also use shredded cheese as a binder instead of bread crumbs due to gluten

[@jonbeverlin7806]

Great video. And had to get the carving knife you used. Arrived yesterday and used it today. Excellent knife....thanks for the suggestion!

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you John! That knife is legit! It’s the first really nice knife I’ve bought and now that I have it I wish I would have done that a long time ago... what a difference!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Wow, that is a huge burger! You named that one right on Mike! Texas sized for sure! Looked fantastic brother, especially with those onions and mushrooms! Cheers!

[@betitos11]

Dude those are mad burgers! Crazy BIG and awesome!

[@caithnessplace]

Man that looks good. Ima try it tonight.

[@micahroberts3564]

Pit lettuce on the bottom to help keep the bun together. Once you get to 140, hit the burgers with a sear on both sides, give it some crust on the outside

[@robertschwark8]

Love your videos got a question I'm actually thinking about doing some smoke burgers for my family this weekend I got a vertical pellet smoker where should I put my burgers top or medium or lower shelf?

[@robertschwark8]

What's your suggestion on where I should put the racks for them

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you, Robert. I smoke my burgers on the middle shelf in my vertical. Here is a good example kzbin.info/www/bejne/o57Ffmxjqc2jmJI

[@davidbaity6456]

I really enjoyed this and after seeing all your amazing vids it was an instant subscribe! In your opinion is the grill worth the purchase? I'm looking hard at it.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you, David. I dont recommend this grill. I ended up giving it away to a subscriber. It is a jack of all trades, master of none...

[@CookingWithCJ]

Killer burgers Mike! Dig that cooker too. Good stuff

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks, CJ! And hey, I found your new BBQ channel! I’ve watched two of your Pit Boss videos and they are awesome. Looking forward to seeing more 😁

[@CookingWithCJ]

Weekend Warrior BBQ thanks bro!

[@christiandiluzio9273]

Love your videos man! So entertaining and informative. My wife says I'm addicted lol. Quick question; have you or could you do a video for smoking a whole chicken in the vertical smoker?? I would love to see how you do it.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Haha! Thanks Christian! Here is a whole smoked chicken I did a while back: Maple Syrup Smoked Chicken | Pit Boss Vertical Smoker kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5C3kmyXp85sedE

[@christiandiluzio9273]

Thanks man!!

[@christiandiluzio9273]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ could I do these burgers on the vertical smoker?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Yes you can! You’ll notice that I did not sear the burgers at all... you don’t need to. Just set the vertical to 250 F and flip them at about 135 F. Take them up to your desired temp from there and put your cheese on. I think the perfect smoked burger temp is around 155 but it’s up to you on how you like them cooked.

[@DXDAFENIX]

Is the KC combo worth purchasing? Would you replace the vertical smoker or the Austin XL?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Edgar Benavides great question Edgar. In my opinion, the KC is only worth purchasing if you need a smoker and propane grill & griddle. I would not replace my vertical with it.

[@mmadnick1]

After watching your videos I bought the KC Combo. How long did it take you to get the griddle to 420 degrees? I am having issues with it getting hot and I have it over the flame no grates or covers.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hi, Michael. It’s been a while but I think it was up to temp after about 20 minutes with the lid closed. I had someone else reach out with the same issue and the regulator on the hose was bad.... the flames were not at full blast

[@kevinseymour7796]

Love these recipes Mike !! Was thinking about getting this kc combo but was wondering if anyone else has one and likes it , I have the austin xl pellet grill and love it I have used the hell out of it for going on 4 years and it has never let me down, thanks.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks, Kevin. I gave my KC Combo away to a subscriber and they like it. I used it a couple times and became disappointed with the smoke flavor it creates compared to my vertical. I would only recommend this model to someone just starting out who needs both a gas grill and a smoker.

[@kevinseymour7796]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ thanks a bunch I appreciate it,

[@frankzabotsky3237]

Great looking burgers

[@NoCoffeeNeeded]

Those are big burgers!! Looks great and always need 2 slices of cheese! I’m trying for sure.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Mike you outdid yourself on that smokehouse burger cook. From the low and slow to the mayo to the BBQ sauce and how about that smoke cheddar. I bet those things tasted as good as they looked. real nice job buddy.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks, Tommy! I can promise you they tasted as good as they looked.

Awesome job… Great looking burger

[@bobbyrob2008]

Hey brother, I just subscribed...How do you like this cooker? I just stumbled on this line of Pit Boss and it would fit my needs, just really curious on quality and how you like it? We love Kosmo’s rubs, injections and his Brisket Mop for all low and slow beef...Thanks again! 👍👊🇺🇸

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hi, Bobby. The smoker side did not meet my expectations. I'm not saying this a bad product by any means... it is a great grill and an average smoker. I ended up getting rid of it a few months ago to make room for another toy :)

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

Excellent Mike! Very well done and I too like that smokehouse cheddar cheese. Adds yet another layer of flavor

[@mustfishandhunt9692]

Great video. I just started watching your videos.. Have you ever cooked burgers in a vertical smoker?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Yeah, I love making burgers in the vertical. Here is a video to one I did a few weeks ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/o57Ffmxjqc2jmJI

[@RC-hm9vg]

You never said what temp you did this at????

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hi, RC. I had it set to 250 degrees F. 2:12

[@pewto]

Those are some good looking burgers man! I like to use kosmos Texas beef on Burger's as well. Great video

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks, Jeremy! Yeah that Kosmos is good stuff

[@tre2472]

Nice man nice. Good job!

[@brittsbackyardbbqngrill]

Dang nice video and cook Mike. I'm like Russ them some BIG Burgers but they looked great...I would have to leave off the cow patty growth as I am allergic to shrooms. But love to hunt them Morrells because they sell for $20 a pound in S.W. KY.

Great job on getting the toast just in time. Lol The burger looks delicious Mike.

[@pingstick]

Awesomeness!

[@charlesryan6868]

I have the KC combo it’s a great grill but lousy smoker. My XL 1000 you could adjust the smoke level. This one you can not. In all the reviews I have watched on this grill no one mentions that. Or the fact that the pellets in the hopper do not always feed into the augger. When it’s half full the pellets stop dropping. How about the fact that the grill is WiFi but you can not set any alarms. Or the fact that you have to turn smoker on to use the light in the grill. Makes me question reviews

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hi, Ryan. I agree with you on all of your points. I prefer my vertical smoker because it puts out a ton more smoke, I'm not impressed with the app (mine is only Bluetooth), and the thing with the light was a total design flaw. I am not in the product review business though and dont make that kind of content.

[@reddog907]

Size of Texas! More like the size of the US.😋

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

🤣🤣🤣

[@djpyt102987]

Never seen someone toast a bun with mayo 🤯 I’ll have to give it a try

[@cy-fairclean8458]

Mayo is the way to go. Put some Duke’s on it!!

[@roccorossi7361]

Damn good!!!!

[@clindquist16]

Great vid! One question respectfully asked: Why the gloves when you touch the meat then spices, etc.? I don't care, but then I don't wear gloves, either. :)

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks, Carl! I wear the gloves mainly because I have multiple cameras and microphones that I need to move around and being outside I don’t have a sink to rinse my hands.
