I have never put burger buns on with the patties on them. If I put buns on, it would be after the meat has cooked. That seems like a recipe for burnt buns lol. The burgers look alright though, so not bad for your first time!

Please, Padawan, buns after, and don’t overlap your meat!

You have to start somewhere. I mean, dogs are dogs. Maybe get a bit more char on them. But those burgs look overcooked and dry AF. Keep going though. You’ll get it.

At first I thought you just raw dogged the cheese side down then I realized it was on the bun, weird but hey a crispy bun don’t hurt.

Anyone who says they didn’t start like this is lying.

Da f are you doing?

Try a two zone fire.. put your coals on one side of the grill and leave the other side empty. Put lid on and bring the temp up to temp. Then put the meat on the side of the grill that does not have coals on it. Cook it mostly this way and then once they are nearly done, move to the hot side of the grill for a good sear.

You can fit more hot dogs on there if you place them vertically.

Looks a hell of a lot better than my first time grilling did.

Won’t bust your chops over this. Was that too much of dad joke? I’ll see myself out.

Keep at it. Practice makes…well, perfect, as it’s said, but it took me several years and lots of trials and tribulations to get to the grill master I am today. Cheers!

These look like the school lunch burgers from the late 90s 🤣 Keep practicing, you’ll nail it down.

Dont listen to the haters. Grill on your own terms!

My best tip is burgers conveniently tell you when they should be flipped. When the juices start to pool on top, that’s your sign.

Certified amateur but nobody’s hating hard. A 7 out of a 10 job and NEVER add the burgers to the bun, in case the meat isn’t cooked all the way but they do look done. Upgrade your grill to a Weber 22 inch kettle and you’ll never go back to those Dollar General/Family Dollar disposables.

Nothing looks inedible so good work!

Spiral cut your doggies and get that char going bud! Game changer!! Welcome to the club. BTW, do yourself and your guests a favor, get yourself a chimney so you don’t have to use lighter fluid and definitely don’t use match light or any pre-soaked briquettes. I started taking it seriously around your age and now (~20 years later) it is my zen space. Enjoy

Everyone has to start somewhere! Just enjoy it, forget the haters and learn as you go. It’s a lot of fun and don’t let others take that away. Even when things don’t turn out how you want it, that’s okay

Practice cooking in smaller quantities next time. 2 pattys , 2 dogs so you don’t feel panicked. Look at how they cook over direct fire and indirect fire. That bottom right hamburger does look pretty darn good and cheesy.

Don’t stop grilling! It’s such a great skill to have.

I guess the dogs could be cooked more and the burgers less but wherever taste good is good. Melting the cheese on the bun is new to me though.

perfect. now cut it all up and mix it with some bake beans and… voila… insta slop!!!!!
