Ribs on the grill. No problem on the electric Brinkman smoker. I have made pork rib jerky a few times otherwise.

For me, my nemesis is the hamburger. I use 80/20 beef, keep my hands cold while forming and season liberally with kosher salt and black pepper. My burgers are terrible. Almost like meatloaf, which is why I appreciate a good burger from a local restaurant and don't mind ordering one.

Has to be a technique issue?



You are overworking your ground beef

I know it's not popular here, but as an earlier poster stated, if you use Uncle Ben's Converted Rice you will have no problems. It won't "split" like so many like, but it will be fluffy and not gummy.

2 to 1 water to rice ratio. Salt to taste. Bring to boil and then simmer for 20 minutes covered. Turn off heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Perfect.
