Meat coming out stringy


New to these. Is there a reason why all my meat comes out stringy? I've tried a few different things and the plain meat just isn't that appealing.

I tried slow cooking on 175-225..

Any tips?

    *What seasoning did you use?

    *How long did you cook it, and at what temperature?

    *Did you use any special tricks or techniques?

    Traeger on!

    What are you doing to the meat? Adding an egg, breadcrumbs. 15 years owning a Traeger and this never happened

    These are not words I typically associate with burger meat.

    Are these burgers? They look like cheap steak that just happens to be burger sized.

    It’s an oven. A wood oven. Have you made burgers in an oven before?

    Burger patties dont benefit from low and slow. Make sure grill is not full of grease, crank up high. As high as the grill will go 450-500 ish. Then throw the patties on top and let them sear. These are likely better cooked on a direct heat grill.

    I don’t know what kind of ground beef I’m looking at here but it doesn’t look good. Generally for burgers I’m using ground brisket trim. With a big thick patty, whiskey dust seasoning, a little bit of brown sugar sprinkled over the patty and a slice of raw bacon on top. I’ll start 250 for 25 minutes, crank it up to 350 for 10 minutes to get the bacon a little more cooked , then throw a slice of cheese on em. Buns on the top rack, and bring the temp back down to 250 for 10 more minutes. They come out great but if I were using thinner burgers I might not bring it all the way up to 350.
