First, make the switch to griddle for burgers. Way better, IMO, than grill grates. I just put a griddle on top of the grill grates.

Then, I'd layer butter on the griddle before pressing patties. Then switched to leftover bacon fat (which is also very good). My wife clarified (?) some tallow we got with cow, now I use that.

- Heat griddle.

- Prep patties (1/4 lb balls, covered in salt pepper and garlic powder).

- When griddle reaches at least 400F, spread thin layer of tallow, let it heat up.

- drop burger balls on griddle, press to desired thickness

- flip when juices begin to form on top, or when bottoms nice and browned, your choce

Tallow adds so much flavor! Only thing better is marrow as topping IMHO

Excellent. I’m going to have to try this

I should point out -- I use rendered tallow, but no idea how to "render" it -- wife hands me the jar and I use it. "We're an effective team."

I believe that you just heat it and skim it but never done it before
