With burgers, I don't really look at the temp inside too much, but as long as you're not exceeding 450, you're good. Usually, one full charcoal chimney keeps you where you need to be with the temp.
Your barbecuing technique with a Weber Kettle is wrong. The Weber Kettle is designed for indirect cooking. Burning hamburgers over coals is not what I want to eat.
Directly from Weber's website: Our charcoal grates have been designed to withstand the heat generated by a pile of burning charcoal, and are made of heavy duty plated steel. They are large enough to allow you to arrange your charcoal in many different ways, making it simple to grill using direct or indirect heat. Indirect cooking is a different method of cooking, which I do use for other types of cooks. Just because you may not want it that way doesn't make it wrong. Thank you for watching.
