NICE !!! ... So school me on grilling burgers please sir ...
I'd love to hear what someone who KNOWS a little something or other about beef has to say
How to you know when to flip them (visual or timer or smell or something) ... and how long on the other side before coming off the grill
No.2 slot on the grill looks pretty close to the coals and maybe that has something to do with it too. Thanks :)

Honestly, I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’ll give you my strategy anyway. I try to get the burgers relatively flat so they don’t swell into balls that are hard to cook through. I do that before they go on, rather than smashing them onto the grill. On a grill like that at a campground, I try to get the grate as close as I can to the coals without burning the burgers. Generally when juices start collecting on top I flip them. I’m a big fan of a high-quality instant read thermometer. For food safety reasons, ground beef should be cooked to 165 degrees. So, once they’re flipped, I temp them and when they get to 165 they come off. The best part is, we’re camping, so even if I mess them up they still taste good. 😁

Thanks, John. It’s fun to see the kids interact in a whole different element.

It looks good every time, John. 👍
 
Going to town in a bit. Cindy is getting her hair done and then we're headed to the Wagon Wheel Cafe, the Holiday Market and 4-Corners grocery store. Hopefully, this will be a Plain-Jane no excitement trip. Still very sore from doing chores over the weekend. Anyway, I'll be totin my Tribal Lock Lumberjack knife with me.

Thanks for being a "color commentator", Jack. ;):thumbsup: (Is that term used in sports broadcasting outside the U.S.?)

Glad to hear it, Jeff! :thumbsup:🤓 You can probably understand why I rarely start threads of my own.
Some folks even claim that I'M a joke! o_O

Thank you, GT. :)
That knife will always have a special place in my memories. 🤠:thumbsup:
Fantastic Pair, GT. 🤠:thumbsup:

Glad you like those "ancient" Old Timers, John. I have quite few Old Timer models, but most of mine are Chinese. Off the top of my head, I think the only Schrade USA Old Timers I have are that 33OT, a 34OT, and a 93OT.
Thanks for your enthusiastic comment about the knives I posted. :)

Preeminent pair of lambsfoot examples to help you celebrate your local festival, Jack! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

I'm going "off the schedule" this week, carrying a bunch of knives I ordered in May instead of the knives on my typical weekly rotation schedule.
I'll call today Massive Monday, as well as Metal Monday, and post these two recent arrivals.
Marbles rigger's knife, 4.25" closed, 7 oz, all stainless, marlinspike not designed to lock:

Thank you, Ed!
That’s a #54 Big Jack from Tidiute Cutlery.
I don’t have very many GECs, but the folks on here kept showing them off, so I found this used on the big auction site a few years ago so I wouldn’t feel left out!

I wondered if it was a 54, but had no scale to judge by … that’s a handful o knife right there!

IMHO the 54’s are nice because they are big robust knives with a little more ‘reasonable’ pull than the 23’s (or even some of the early 73’s!) That micarta Jack is a nice one!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We spent the weekend camping at my daughter’s class camping trip. I had these two with me (and an assortment of fixed blades).

Unfortunately there’s more beach every time we go as the lake gets lower.

I brought the beef and grilled about 45 burgers for the group. It was a good time with a good group of families.

Looks like fun Bart, and maybe a little hard work. I occasionally work the grill for the sports boosters during home games. It’s fun to see folks enjoying the food but it’s hectic at times. 😉👍

Nice MIke! We don't see that knife very often. Mine lives in the pocket of my housecoat/bathrobe (get that image out of your head ;)).
