Hi there. Will this come out too moist if I use ground chuck ?
Thanks
Hi Sean,
You really can use any cut of ground beef with this recipe. But it might alter the flavor and you may need to adjust the cook time.
Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Really good recipe! Perfectly good instructions for the cooking part as well! I’m not used to cooking on a BBQ and it was really helpful.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have any liquid smoke at home so I did without, but I will get myself some and I will try it.
Plus I am not sure if I used onion or garlic powder. All the same, it was delicious!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the burgers!
Thanks for sharing this. It’s always fun to see what ingredients go into giving a burger its taste, and it looks like the brown sugar, chili powder, and liquid hickory smoke are the keys to what seems like a really good burger.
You’re very welcome, John… ENJOY!
