Making a plan now… since the Frank’s will be smoked, going to lightly vac pack and hold in fridge.
Burgers are confusing me. I have to make them 6 days before cooking. Once formed into patties should I freeze them and throw em on the grill frozen or any body have a better way? Seems silly to freeze them for 4 days but afraid to hold in the fridge 6 days.samspade If you have to make everything that far in advance, definitely freeze. Use Ground Chuck at a minimum. We regularly get ground meat or grind our own & form into hamburgers or hamburger steaks, par freeze, pack, & freeze, then thaw before cooking. Make sure you par freeze first to keep them separate. It has worked real well for years. You can pre-season them too with spices or Worcestershire or your choice & I think for these things, it has no negative impact. Also, try mixing chopped onions & garlic with your burger for extra flavor & moisture, you will like it. Just try not to handle.

Dave in AZ sure did. I used the frank and baloney seasoning from waltons. Almost everyone made a positive comment. Wish I could have had flame controll on the grill but even got some positive feedback on the taste of the burgers made with better burger seasoning.

Discovered something else also, my room mate has a sensitive gut and even Ballpark 100% beef sometimes upset his stomach. I kept about 40 franks that he has been eating almost daily. The Frank and Baloney seasoning does not bother him at all.
