Beef-fat fries in a wire basket
Fries go in the beef fat twice. That's the whole secret.

The fire

Three heats,
ninety seconds

A smash burger lives or dies in the first minute. We run the grill in three zones and move the patty through all of them.

  1. 01 · 480°

    Sear

    Straight onto the bare grate over glowing lump charcoal. Ninety seconds, no moving it.

  2. 02 · 260°

    Render

    Pulled back over the coals so the fat renders instead of burning. This is where the smoke gets in.

  3. 03 · 140°

    Rest

    Off the heat on a warm rack for two minutes, so the juice stays in the patty and not on the board.
