Nicely done. How do you prevent them from breaking when you flip them? Why don't they stick? Do you oil the grates really well?

On gas, mine always stick to the grates and/or break apart when flipping. I never have this problem on charcoal.

Clean all debris, get grill really hot, /Rub the grates with vegetable oil on paper towels.

simple, you are trying to flip them too soon...and your grill may not be hot enough .... you really don't even need to oil the grates.... the meat will release from the grill when it's time to flip...

I don't oil my grill with hamburgers. Use a very hot grill and don't flip too soon. The food will release from the grill when it's ready.

I don't claim that my way is the only right way, but there are a lot of wrong ways to cook burgers in my experience. Starting with frozen patties, over-cooking, underseasoning, etc... Obviously, how you dress your burger is up to your own personal taste.

I just do what works for me, and as long as I'm paying attention, I get a great burger.

Maybe I've been watching "Chopped" and "Iron Chef: America" on TV a little too much...

I've been using the Hawaiian rolls for a while now. I made sliders for my kids birthday party and our friends and family killed them. I use the exact same recipe except I cook mine using the griddle cover from my stove center burner on teh grill. I get griddle flavor without the entire house smelling like a Waffle House. THe griddle cover is cast iron and just sits on the grates. Also because its a griddle I prep it with bacon so there is that for a topping. Greasy, delicious and decadent, everything a burger should be.

I have to disagree. American cheese is the cheese of American hamburgers. Blue cheese is fantastic on a burger but I think these burgers are a different animal. Save the blue cheese for that short rib grind burger on brioche.

Some caramelized onions would go nice with the rolls but the kids may frown on it.

An absolute must. Done properly it completely negates constriction - regardless the size of the burger.
