Bull Flipping burgers yes or no?

[ronaldbretzke]

Just bought my first pellet grill (RT-700). Watched many videos. Do burgers need to be flipped or not when on regular grating? on Sear Kit? Also whats a good medium rare temperature? Thanks

i don’t flip on a normal rack. just grill mine at 350 until i hit 145. it has some pink at that temp. if you want smoke flavor cook at 275 or less. lower temp=more smoke flavor

with sear kit i like to cook at 450 flat side up and flip once i get the char im looking for on the bottom

I cook my burgers at 450 on the regular grates and I flip them. With the heat source below, and cooking at high temps, I find I get a more even cook with good color on both sides.

I believe it a personal preference. But I cook mine on GrillGrates @ 500 degrees. I cook for about 4 minutes on each side (flipping) and then done. Perfect burgers!

I flip mine. 400 degrees with grill grates 4-6 min ea side depending on the meat/ fat content

seems like there is no wrong way to do it! bacon cooks great on these grills also for a topper

Cook them and eat them... can't go wrong with that... bacon makes everything even better

Welcome to the Forum
Yeah, I'll flip them when on the GrillGrates, but not when I'm "just smoking" them
Here you go:
R= 120 - 125
MR= 130 - 135
M= 140 - 145
MW- 150 - 155
W= 160 - 165
And then there's "Burnt"
