While I respect your dedication to a fine burger, I must politely disagree with you regarding your cooking method, good sir.
That's fine, everyone has to go with what they like. But I've cooked handcrafted burgers on the grill and in pan. From experience, I can tell you that the pan is better, particularly if you're doing things like stuffing it with cheese and such. Frying the burger in the rendered fat adds a really nice flavor profile.
Not that the grill isn't bad. Make a little 3-Zone heat, sear briefly on high, cook over medium, low side can be used for...whatever (sometimes I throw on a can o' beans and have them cook while I grill...nothing says lazy like cooking beans in their own can as to avoid dirtying a pot). You can still come out with a nice burger, the charcoal adds a good flavor to it.
