Summer is the perfect time for some juicy burgers fresh off the grill. On today's blog we are sharing our best tips to barbeque the most flavorful burgers that are not dried out and overcooked.

It is hard to guess on the done level of burgers. Digital meat thermometers are inexpensive and are a great way to really tell whether your burgers are ready to come off the grill. Just guessing sometimes leads to overcooked burger bricks!
