Mine does an excellent job of grilling burgers. It's a Weber Silver-A
model. I'm not sure what size burner it is. I have the papers but I
don't feel like looking for them right now. I preheat with both
burners set on high until the temperature gauge is all the way up,
around 550°. I place the burgers on the grill, close the lid, and
turn the burners down to medium. I flip them 5 minutes later and cook
them an additional 5 minutes. I like my burgers well done. If I'm
adding cheese, which is always the case, I put the cheese on the
burgers, turn the burners to low, and close the lid. It usually takes
about 2 minutes for the cheese to melt.
