Freezing
Freeze the patties in singles. It is possible to put paper sheets in between each layer, but this will take longer to freeze.
When frozen, stack the patties in a suitable plastic bag and seal.
Note: This is suitable even if you are going to bbq them instantly. Frozen patties are easier to handle.

Perfect bbq hamburgers?
Use only ground meat. Add salt when cooking.
All condiments, seasoning etc. is cooked separately if needed and added when assembling.
My favourite is frozen patties, 50/50 pork/beef, broil over coals, assemble on a sesame bun with ketchup, salted cucumber slices, hamburger dressing (American hamburger dressing over here in Sweden, I guess it would be Canadian or European dressing in the USA), sliced red onion and a slice of tomato.
