Place burgers on the grill and cook on each side about 2.5 min each. don’t be afraid to cooke them longer or shorter depending on the type of grill and the choice of fule. we are looking for medium. move burgers to the cold side of the grill and place your rolls on the hot side just long enough to give them grill marks but not so long to dry them out.
