Burger, mayo, tomato, lettuce, melted muenster, dab o homemade bbq sauce on a lightly buttered, toasted hard roll (preferably Canfora), and I'm good.

Save the grill for chicken. Go caste iron and you control every aspect of that burger's life.

not bad G but hand burger cooked over maple coals is hard to best but I agree the flat top,or cast iron is an excellent way to get that char on an good 80-20 burger.

Nice hard roll toasted, lettuce, tomato, nice big slice of raw sweet onion, home made 1000 Island Dressing, melted slab of 6-year old sharp cheddar, that's my favorite.

I'm an 80-20 guy, too. Need that fat. I haven't had any maple laying around for years; but have all the apple wood you could shake a stick at. An apple wood stick.

oh applewood is awesome just not as hot as maple but as good for sure. Mesquite how good would that be?

I made guy a vertical rotisserie for his fire pit from steel,he just loves cooking with it.......

Depends more on the dry of the apple wood or maple. I'm always told all wood has the same BTUs; just the way it dries that makes the difference. Heated my whole winter off a birch two years ago. Easy cutting; just needed tons of drying time.
