Thanks for the welcome gents! The burgers tasted OK but weren't juicy as they should be. I didn't pack them enough and 2 of them crumbled. My kids loved them. I didn't. Next time maybe add some bacon and pack more. Salt was needed as well. I'm my worst critic and Ill consider this a fail! Good starting point though. This site is quite an inspiration.
I WILL return with a better product next time!
I would recommend at fattier cut like brisket or Chuck.. I would also coarse grind then grind through a fine plate to dispurse the fat more evenly. In my opinion it fell apart because it was to lean..just my 2 cents .and the saying around this place is "if ya don't post pics it didn't happen". . welcome from Minnesota,. Looking forward to you future posts

Welcome from Chico - that is typical here. We are all our own worst critics. If the kids loved them, you did really well. They are the real burger critics.

Huntington Beach welcomes you and your burger grind!!
Perhaps it's your grind and formation. Short is good. Skirt is good but I don't think for burgers, in my opinion. Trying using Flap if you must.
For texture Skirt, for unctuous ( short) , I get your thought process. For a large loose grind you need something like a chuck or brisket to hold up and provide beefy flavor.
Also be sure you have enough fat. Skirt is tasty because of the beefy flavor, not necessary intramuscular fat.
I think your grind may have been to lean and texture to lose and not cohesive.
all of this from a single introduction post. See there. We are helping you out and saving you money already all for one low price.
