EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
I am currently eating in at Morden Wimpy. My second visit to a Wimpy in six months and my third in about 30 years. Quite a pleasant contrast with the preceding three days of family fun.

Back in the summer both me and Mrs Voltz did try a Fattso burger from Wells and to be more than fair if was pretty good. The only down side being the fact that they're a burger van so you only have access to pavement side tables. Alright when it's fine and sunny but a hard not going to happen in the winter

The main pub in my village have pop up food every friday and saturday.
I've just had a double cheese and bacon burger from this lot for £7.50 and is probably one of the best burgers I have had, sorry no pics as just dove straight in after walking home with it ( they also deliver to your table in the pub if you are drinking.)
They are called Crumpy's smoke shack ( You can find them on FB as the link didnt work.)

Tried using tiger buns last night. Worked quite well.

Thanks. Burgers are made in my press, but I cheated on the chips, from the freezer, but they are deep fried. I've never tried hand cutting "fries" suspect my knife skills aren't that good.
I want to try smash burgers at some point, I was going to last night but everything I read suggests you need mince that's at least 20% fat and I only had the 12% stuff.

£22 for this fucker. And £7 a pint to wash it down. Not London, but Highlands of Scotland. 
Everyone else thought it was ace, don't get me wrong it wasn't a bad burger, but FFS. Especially as I did the cooking for the last 3 days with epic portions over 3 meals for £15 a head total.

What type of establishment was this at?

Posh pub and hotel in Braemar. I'm clearly not the target market.

Ah, well there you go. At least half of the price you pay is for the surroundings in which you're eating.
The burger looks great though. I'd have asked for a fried egg with it.

Can we get away with chicken burgers on this thread. Hungover "treat" to myself from local fried chicken shop.

It's BBQ season and that means an excuse to eat burgers. Not that I need one, but I don't bother making them often as OH doesn't eat beef or share the same taste in bread as I do. Anyway. We did a small one for just the two of us and I did make a couple. They were pretty average and I'm 90% sure it was the mince just didn't have much flavour. Added pepper and a bit of msg, but if it's not great to start...
What's everyone's favourite type to use? I know ideally you should use 20 to 25% fat, but think that's where I went wrong last time as I think it's much lower grade in other ways (nothing to base that on), but it was that or the 5% stuff in Aldi which would be dry as a bone. Normally look for 10 or 15% but I've not been seeing it as much recently. Maybe I need to find a butcher, but it's a faff to fit in around work.

Respect my existence or expect my resistance
I go for whatever organic mince I can get, usually 12 or 20% fat. Decent enough burger.

Needs a new thread.
Share your home BBQ treats.
I can't be arsed to set it up though, so it will never happen.

Ah. Maybe I was just unlucky or need to shop somewhere more expensive.

Home smoking/BBQ
So I searched and couldn't find an appropriate thread (I assumed there would be, maybe I'm just rubbish at searching) Currently laying new floors and doing lots of painting so being at home all day at the weekend is ideal for an 8hr+ smoke. This weekend I did brisket, Texan dry rub and smoked...

I added some olive oil to my last burgers made with 5% fat and they were pretty good. I've read some people add grated cold butter to the burger mix too.
I think a butchers mince is the way to go really though. Our butcher delivers, is that an option UnderOpenSky?

Oh that's an interesting idea to add fat to good mince if stuck.
I keep being put off by the online ones as they cost more and the high minimum order, but I guess you get what you pay for!

I need to find a local one first. But yes, not a bad shout.
