Cooking burgers over fire can be tricky. Weather you use a charcoal or gas grill the dangers of flare ups abound when cooking grease dripping burger patties. This danger is even more perilous on a small open top grill like an hibachi style grill. Unlike some Hibachi style grills, the Lodge Sportsman’s Grill does not have handles to quickly remove the burgers en event of a flare up. It is a good idea to have a plate or platter at the ready to put the burgers on for few minutes while flames die down. Cooking thick burger patties can be even trickier.
I’ve been cooking burgers on the LSG for several years, and I’ve learned a thing or two about doing it successfully. I share what I’ve learned in this video.
In the Taste Test scene at the end, I sample the thickest of the eight burgers. It was medium well, just the way I like it. The other seven burgers were well done the way my family likes them.

Good to see you make a video, Big Lew! Great tip on not mashing the burgers. Another reason why I don’t like mashing on the burgers is because they dry out from doing so. But you sure didn’t have dry burgers, Big lew. Nicely done as always! 🙂
Hey Lew great little grill! That Bama white sauce looks like it’s jammin! Great video!
I like that Lodge and the burgers looked great. had to be good. Nice job. Now pass me a burger.
Looking good Big Lew. I found your channel form your comment on Mr Backwoods channel. The ridges on the new Sportsman Grill grates are a safety feature Lodge added to support the fish frying pan. I was messing with Mr Backwoods to see if me needed one. I posted a pic on his Facebook page. Just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to the new videos.
Thanks Lew! Reminded Me of the grilled burgers my Dad would make for us growing up. Good memories! Our grill was Solid Cast Iron and weighed a Ton!
I could smell your burgers as they were cooking! A little flare up is good flavor in my book. You Rock!!! m/ m/
What a cool little grill 🙂
Grewt tutorial also 🙂
Those looked juicy and awesome Big Lew!! Another great show sir!
No I need a burger.
Now I’m hungry Big Lew! Thanks big guy
Everybody loves burgers! And man did those look good! I love that little Lodge grill, it’s going on my Amazon wish list like right now! And the pocket knife usage is great too. I actually just used my small hunting knife when I was at camp the other week to make a burger for lunch. It was my spatula, my doneness tester, and my mayo & mustard spreader. The best part is I had just used it the day before to skin and quarter a deer! The food police would take my youtube channel away from me if they saw that, haha!!! Great video Big Lew, thanks for sharing
ok put the coals one one side only this will allow you to move them away from the fire still gonna cook but without getting roasted, Enjoy!
I love mine. Heirloom quality.
