We had a local drive-thru close day before yesterday. It has been packed for the last month after announcing they were closing. It has been open since the 50's. It was called Charcoal Oven and had great charcoal burgers and fantastic huge onion rings.

Broke up 5 charcoal briquettes (not the match light kind) and put them in the smoker. After about 10 minutes on high it started smoking. Slapped a patty on the grate and turned the gas to low. It sizzled, popped, and smoked. After a few minutes flipped it and was nicely browned with black grill marks. Got a paper plate with a bun and a couple of slices of cheddar. After a few minutes smooshed the patty with the spatula, smooshed just the right amount for medium. Went to scoop it up and drop it on the bun and it was so juicy had to sneak up on it. It just slid across the grill.

How was it? If I could make decent onion rings would hardly miss the ol Charcoal Oven.
