  • 1 lb

    hamburger buns

  • salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • mustard

  • ketchup

3The 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.

    • Place the patties on the grill and sear for approximately 5–6 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F on a digital meat thermometer. Remove the hot-dog-studded burger patties from the grill.

    • To toast your buns, open them and place them face down on the grill, directly over the coals. Watch your buns closely — they burn fast. Toasting takes anywhere from a few seconds to a minute, depending on how hot your coals are.

    • Serve immediately with your favorite condiments and toppings.
