  • spray oil
  • 2 rings pineapple (preferably fresh)
  • 2 slices pepper jack cheese

2 Grill Prep

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Spray your patties lightly with oil, then place them oiled side down onto the grate, directly over the coals. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then use a spatula to flip them over and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.

  • Move your patties across to the indirect heat, close the lid and cook for 10–15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

  • As your pork burgers are nearing finishing, place the pineapple rings directly over the coals and cook for 2 minutes per side to add some color, then remove them from the grill.

  • Toast the buns on the cooler side of the grate for 2 to 3 minutes until toasted and warm.

  • Lay your pepper jack cheese over the pork patties and close the lid until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.

  • To serve, lay the pork patty on the bun and top with a ring of pineapple and some sliced red onion.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Kingsford Grilled Jerk Pork Burger I found this receipe to be very tasty. I loved the directions specifying exactly how long to cook each side of pork burger and I especially liked the "how to handle a flare-up" which taught me something I had never known before.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Flavor These juicy, zingy, pork burgers are delicious. Just make sure not to dry them out, because that takes them from delicious to almost inedible. The jerk seasoning with the peppery cheese, crisp sharp onions, and sweet pineapple are a match made in heaven.
