Smashed burgers are all the rage these days - and for good reason! They're delicious, juicy, and easy to make. But if you're using a weber kettle bbq, there's a few things you need to keep in mind to make sure your burgers turn out perfectly. Here's how to make the best smash burgers on a weber kettle bbq and plancha (hotplate).

Step 1: Begin by preparing your burger toppings. Slice your tomato as finely as possible. Slice your onion and separate the rings. Slice your iceberg lettuce so you have nice sized pieces. Lay your burger cheese out ready to cook over the patty.

Step 2: Prepare your burger patty by placing your beef mince into a large bowl, and mix Kosmos Q Competition Sauce through until you get the desired consistency. Form your burger patties into a ball in your hand.

Step 3: Place your patties onto a sheet of baking paper. Using a burger smasher such as the Flaming Coals Cast Iron Burger Press firmly press down on your burger patties to “smash” them out. Continue this process until you’re happy with the consistency of all the patties.
