  • Light charcoal in a full chimney starter and pour over half of the grill.  Plate grate on the grill and lightly oil to prevent sticking.
  • Place burgers on grate directly over coals and let cook until each side has formed a seared crust, approximately 3 minutes per side, flipping once.
  • Top with cheese and move the burgers to the far side of the grill to finish cooking to your desired level of doneness.
  • Lightly brush cut side of hamburger buns with butter and toast briefly on grate over the coals. Be sure to keep an eye on them or they will burn quickly.
