A chunk of hickory in the grill makes a great burger. Let your charcoal burn down to a nice ash grey. Add a chunk of hickory, as it starts to smoke, add your burgers. Salt and Pepper the burgers, and shut the grill lid. With the Grill lid top vent wide open, hickory smoke will nicely season your burgers.
Added cheese bonus! Before you pull the burgers from the grill, put a slice of pepper jack or provolone on your burgers. And toast the hamburger buns, while the cheese melts.
Music of
Widespread Panic and
Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band goes great with this hickory smoke endeavor.
