I was a little leary of cooking it over indirect heat but they came out fine. My husband however vetoed it so probably won't be making it again. He didn't like the flavor. I liked them ok.

This burger was very good, although I personally thought it needed a little more flavor. I will try adding some additional seasonings next time I make it.
