How to Cook Burgers on a Charcoal Grill

1. Start with a clean grill grate. Brush the grill grate with a wire brush to remove any food residue or debris.

2. Light the charcoal. Place the charcoal in a chimney starter and light it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the charcoal is hot and glowing, pour it onto the grill grate.

3. Preheat the grill. Let the grill heat up for at least 10 minutes before cooking the burgers.

4. Form the burgers. Make sure the burgers are formed loosely so they don't shrink too much during cooking.

5. Season the burgers. Sprinkle the burgers with salt and pepper, or your favorite burger seasoning.

6. Place the burgers on the grill. Cook the burgers over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.

7. Let the burgers rest. Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and keep the burgers juicy.
