Who wouldn\u2019t want to smash a Smash Burger! Learn from one of the best home barbecuers in Australia, how to make a classic and very tasty smash burger at home.<\/p>\n

Thanks Joel for your great recipe!<\/p>\n

BBQ SET UP<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joel\u2019s BBQ of choice is the Kamado Joe Classic III using a direct grill method and some grill grates. The high heat retained by the grill grates offers a perfect surface for creating a delicious smashburger crust.<\/p>\n

Alternatively you could use any BBQ unit that allows for direct grilling and grillgrates<\/a> for a kamado or a kettle BBQ.<\/p>\n

FUEL SET UP\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joel\u2019s fuel set-up includes a half basket of Firebrand Professional Lump Charcoal.<\/a><\/p>\n

To light the charcoal, simply place the end of the Looftlighter 3-4cm above the charcoal and heat until at least 1\/3 of pile is smoldering (otherwise use your preferred method of lighting charcoal eg. chimney<\/a>). Place the GrillGrates flat side up directly over the open flame and wait until they reach a high heat.<\/p>\n

METHOD\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Begin by filling half of the Kamado Joe Classic III charcoal basket with Firebrand Premium Lump Charcoal<\/li>\n
  2. Use a Looftlighter, charcoal chimney or preferred method to light charcoal<\/li>\n
  3. Return the Kamado Joe grates back to the top tier then sit the GrillGrates over the direct heat flat side up (the GrillGrates are optional, you can also use a cast iron cooking surface)<\/li>\n
  4. While the grates are heating up to a high temperature (there is no specific temperature to aim for as the lid will remain open throughout the cook) you can prep your ingredients<\/li>\n
  5. Roll Wagyu beef patties into approximately 120gm balls and season lightly with Greenwood Texas Dirt<\/li>\n
  6. Slice tomatoes and pickles. Chop onion finely and have lettuce and high melt cheese ready<\/li>\n
  7. Once the GrillGrates have reached a high heat lightly drizzle them with oil and place the patties on the grates<\/li>\n
  8. Using either a spatula or burger press, press (smash) the patties into the grate surface until they\u2019re flat (the flatter your make them \u2013 the better the crust!)<\/li>\n
  9. When the underside is brown and has formed a nice crust it\u2019s time to flip and repeat on the other side<\/li>\n
  10. Once you have flipped the patties add your cheese to the patty (you can use a steel bowl to cover the patties to assist melting the cheese, or simply close the lid of the Kamado)<\/li>\n
  11. While the second side of the patties are cooking place your buns on the grates to lightly brown them then load with Ketchup & Mustard (or Burger Sauce) and lettuce then place the cheesy patty on bun followed by tomato, onion, pickles and more sauce.<\/li>\n
  12. Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
