re: anyone have a good burger recipe? Looking for something new...

A lot of good ideas in here already. If you are making all beef burgers, I like to broil mine in the oven sometimes. I put them on the broiler pan that catches the drippings. There is no conductive or convective heat. Just the radiant heat from the very hot broiler. You can do each side independently and keep the center as cool or pink as you want. It smokes a lot, and you don't get to play with fire outside like our Neanderthal ancestors so I don't do it often. It also plumps them up like a ballpark weiner. Not sure if I would risk it with lamb or pork.
