There's no great science behind grilling but there are some things you can do to make your burgers better according to Guyism.com:

-When you put the raw burger on the grill, make sure you put a little indentation in the middle of it. This will prevent the middle from ballooning up and will cook the burger evenly throughout.

-Once it comes off the grill, give it a couple minutes to allow the juices to re-circulate throughout the burger.

-A burger needs fat, so don't use extra lean meat. The fat brings out all the flavor.

-Never press down on the burger while it's cooking. We often do this so that it will cook faster, but you're squeezing out the juices, and subsequently, the taste.
