How to Smoke & Sear a Thick Burger on the Weber Kettle BBQ

Can you take Gordon Ramsay’s legendary burger seasoning rules and make them even better by adding Whiskey Wood Chips smoke? In this video, we are smoking and searing a massive, thick gourmet burger on the classic Weber Kettle BBQ using the ultimate reverse sear method! If you want to know how to get a perfectly juicy, medium-rare thick burger with a deep smoky flavour and a restaurant-quality crust, this video is for you. I take a heavily seasoned 80/20 beef patty, smoke it low-and-slow with wood chunks, and finish it with an intense high-heat sear directly over the charcoal. 🔥 GEAR & FUEL USED: • Weber Kettle 57cm / 22-inch Charcoal Grill • Charcoal Type: Briquettes • Smoking Wood: Whiskey Barrel Wood Chunks 🍔 GORDON RAMSAY INSPIRED INGREDIENTS: • 80/20 Fresh Ground Beef (Thick 8oz / 225g Patty) • Heavy Seasoning: Coarse Sea Salt, Cracked Black Pepper • Toppings: Toasted Brioche Bun, Coleslaw and homemade Burger Sauce ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:18 Ingredients 01:32 Homemade Burger Sauce 02:35 Coleslaw 03:58 Prepping the Thick Patty (Gordon Ramsay Seasoning Style) 09:20 Seasoning The Burgers (Gordon Ramsay Seasoning Style) 10:50 Setting Up The grill for Indirect Cooking 12:47 Adding Smoking Wood & Smoking the Burger Low-and-Slow 16:06 Glazing The Burgers 16:40 Searing The Burgers 19:51 Toasting The buns 21:43 Assembling the Gourmet Burger 22:35 The End Product 22:59 The Cross-Section Cut If you love charcoal cooking, thick juicy burgers, or trying out chef-level recipes at home, smash that LIKE button, leave a COMMENT with how you prefer your burger cooked (medium-rare or well done?), and SUBSCRIBE to The Outdoor Cooking Guy channel for more Weber Kettle BBQ recipes! #WeberKettle #SmokedBurger #GordonRamsayBurger #BBQ #CharcoalGrilling #ReverseSear #GourmetBurger #ThickBurger #OutdoorCooking
