publicity* That first smash says it all 🍔🔥
Hot griddle on the Weber Genesis II, thin beef patties, and the Weber Burger Smasher creating that perfect crispy crust.  And those caramelized onions? Absolute game changer 🤤
Recipe (2 double smash burgers):  🥩 400 g ground beef  🧂 Salt & pepper  🧅 2 large onions (thinly sliced)  🍔 4 potato buns  🥒 Pickles  🥫 Burger sauce (mayo + ketchup + mustard + pickle relish)  🧈 Butter

Method:  🔥 Preheat the griddle on your Weber Genesis II over high heat.
1. Cook the onions low and slow in butter until soft and caramelized. Set aside.
2. Divide the beef into 4 loose balls of 100g each. Don’t pack them too tightly.
3. Place the beef balls on the hot griddle and smash them flat right away using the Weber Burger Smasher.
4. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
5. Flip andcook for 1 more minute.
6. Toast the buns on the griddle.
7. Build your burger: sauce → patty → caramelized onions → pickles → second patty → top bun.
Crispy edges and buttery onions… smash burgers done right 🔥🍔

🔥🥩 RIBEYE + BLAZING HOT KAMADO + GRILLGRATES = PURE PERFECTION 🥩🔥

This is how you build the ultimate crust.
A thick ribeye hits screaming hot GrillGrates on a kamado and instantly starts sizzling. Those rails concentrate heat, create insane sear marks, and reduce flare-ups from dripping fat.

Why GrillGrates? 👇
🔥 Higher surface heat = faster sear
🔥 Perfect grill marks every time
🔥 Less direct flame = more control
🔥 Juicy steak with an unreal crust

Start by getting your kamado ripping hot (300°C+).
Season your ribeye simply with salt and pepper.
Sear for 2 minutes per side, rotate halfway for crosshatch marks, then move to indirect heat until your preferred internal temp.

Rest. Slice. Enjoy.

Because great steak doesn’t need much… just serious heat. 🔥
