make a HELLFIRE Hamburger

how to make a delicious HELLFIRE HAMBURGERr

Step 1: Prepping the fire

The idea is to use a small intense fire to grill the burger, I use a charcoal starterand place a grating on top. You could make one from a large can or a peice of smoke pipe etc. with perferations for venting. The charcoal starter has a grate in it to separate the charcoal , on top,from scrunched up newspapers in the bottom for starting the coals, though you could probably get away with just stacking the charcoal on top of the newspaper in a metal cylinde ror can with vent holes. Light up the newspapers to get the charcaols started. How much hell you want to give your burger and how many you'll be cooking is the amount of charcoal you'll need, at least close to 1/3 or more full. if you have access to a compressor/air hose you can speed start the coals with some air.

Wonderful when i tried this, i baked the buns myself. We once made burgers with storebought buns, but it wasn't up to my expectations. I also use a 1 to 2 ratio of porc to beef mixture with a egg and some hot mustard.(i know, that the purists say, only beef belongs in burgers. But the results told otherwise...) I broiled them on a weber (not on the starter chimney). To me, the beef to bread ratio has to be lower. But that's a personal preference of course. With the barbecue season around the corner, it's good to see such a instructable... (i still have my skis close at the moment, there is 10 ft of snow on my favourite closeby slopes...) keep on broiling Thomas

 yeah... store bought buns are pretty bad... I still use em though, because I'm lazy. =P

[baneat]

OMFG that looks absolutely delicious!

[stratcat]

Fantastic! Gotta try this soon. I might make mine Triple Hellfire by adding some chopped Habanero and topping with pepper cheese. Dammit, now I'm hungry!

[Basta]

Nice. That's the kind of advant-garde cooking I like to see--fast and loose, made from scratch, and probably better tasting than anything ever cooked on a George Foreman grill. This could be a gourmet dish in some chef's twisted mind.

[Tobita]

it's the grill that interests me, i once made one fueld by the gunk in the chimeny in my dad's chalet.

I usually mix in a tablespoon of curry powder per 2 serviings. Some diced onions, a dash of chilli pepper. I then mix an egg up and blend that with the burger and roll in flour. SUPER tastey instructbale coming

[gowithflo]

you might appreciate how I make my curry burger, try Thai green curry paste (comes in a jar or can) instead of powder, I do everything else exactly as you describe it - 'cept the flour thing is new to me, I will try that soon.

[iKill]

not even to be racist but one time an Indian guy acculy through a handful of curry at me

[pmetro]

thats a good suggestion, I could even try that out as a meat loaf

[stickylaffytaffy321]

MMMMMMMMM im hungry and u have ur own meat grinder? WOW! COOL

[lemonie]

If I've read this correctly, you're instructing on 'use chuck' and 'use high heat'? I agree, but this is only telling us how to cook hamburgers, how is this specifically a 'Hellfire hamburger'? Your fire looks more interesting; could you post on how to build that? Regards L

I used term "Hellfire Hamburger" because of the cooking process. When using a charcoal starter I noticed the intense heat and fast draft it produced when the charcoals were almost ready to be put in the grille. So I just put a wire rack over the top of the charcoal starter and used that for a grille. The heat quickly sears the burger and it has a nice well done exterior and juicey interior . This is a more intense and fast cooking process than you get by pouring out the charcoal and grilling the burger on a conventionall grille. Definitely a flame broiled method hence the term "Hellfire" as the fire usually engulfs the burger as it cooks. Building the fire is just following the instructions that come with a charcoal starter. They are available at home depot, amazon, or you can search shopping sites like bizrate or shopzilla for them.

[lemonie]

(the charcoal starter device is new to me) Thanks for the response, looks like what I've used for smelting - meat will be next...

[Vendigroth]

You smelt? what do you smelt? Will there be an instructable on Smeltery?

[Sgt.Waffles]

Its funny. Everyone has there own "secret" recipe for the manlyest man hamburger, and they al sound magiclly delicious! I say we compile an instructables manly man hamburger cookbook for men. oh yea, i like to marinate my hambugers in a mixture of 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, half a bottle of bbq sauce, 3 teaspoons of worsticher sauce, and i mix diced oninons, diced chili peppers, and chili poweder into the hambuger. I havent tried the flame broiling idea, but i think i might try it for dinner tonight. +

[pmetro]

I agree, we should compile or link the reciepes for a burger book..... I wanted this burger to be strickly a beef burger just to have the flavor of the beef itself. With all the types of burgers and fast food variations available it's one for the basic beef flavor.

[Sgt.Waffles]

So how shall we go about doing such?

[pmetro]

I've posted this instructable to the "Man Man Hamburger Cookbook" group, jion the group and then post your hamburger receipe to the group.

[fishcatcher]

i sugest u add some pork to the mix or maybe some spicy doritos

[pmetro]

this was basically the first one cooked this size, and wanted to get a idea how it would taste before adding other ingredients and seasonings

[Cyrus]

Looks really tasty, I love flame broiled food. You say that you cooked that one for 6 minutes, how well done was it?

[pmetro]

it was about a medium well done, timing is critical depending on the draft of the fire, it could have been a little rarer for me.

[andross]

Hell Ramen?

[iman]

try mixing salsa in to the burger before you cook it
