Cooking a juicy hamburger over an open flame makes one of the best burgers in the fall. If you’ve never tried a campfire burger, also called a bonfire burger, you’re missing out. They’re easy to make and full of flavor. And, don’t forget to make s’mores for dessert! \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love the fall when the nights are crisp and it’s the perfect time to have a campfire. You can cook much more than marshmallows and hotdogs over a campfire. That’s where these campfire burgers come in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grilling burgers over an open fire does require some special equipment, but it’s worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Why make a burger over an open flame?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into the practical steps, let’s talk about why you should try grilling a burger over an open flame, instead of a traditional stovetop or grill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Unique flavor:<\/strong> The open flame of a campfire gives the bonfire burger a distinct smoky aroma and charred crust that’s hard to replicate.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Better Experience:<\/strong> Cooking and eating a burger under the stars with a crackling bonfire turns a good meal into an unforgettable one.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Equipment for cooking campfire burgers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In order to cook over an open campfire, you’re going to need some type of grate and\/or basket to support the meat. Typically, we use both a grate and a basket because it gives us lots of flexibility. However, many people make burgers with just a grill basket. (Please note these items can be purchased on Amazon fairly inexpensively. Although we really like the basket and grate we use, we aren’t brand specific, so these links are just to get you started.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
