I should also start using a charcoal grill rather than propane. Would probably give them a better flavor.

We use charcoal and it's pretty darn good. We prefer to cook them until there's a 'crispy' texture on the outside, my SO doesn't enjoy softer textures and figured out a way to carefully cook them to have a bit of char. They feel even closer to beef like this to us.

I've also experimented with a griddle by smashing them thin too. Results were promising, I just haven't quite got it down yet though

I personally prefer the Impossible meat, it feels a lot more like beef than Beyond. Not to say Beyond isn't great too though

I've had Impossible from Red Robin and Burger King, which both grill their burgers, and have found them to be pretty darn indistinguishable, and I'm a big time burger fan.

The Beyond I find to be very distinct. I haven't been around "raw" Impossible patties, but I've made the Beyonds at home a number of times. They smell like cat food to me before they're cooked up, but I absolutely love the flavor of them so much! They have this vegetal background taste, but whatever it is, it tickles my taste buds in a very pleasant way for someone not usually the biggest veggie fan. I could see people not liking it, but I get periodic cravings for it now, since it is such a distinct flavor that nothing else matches.

Eyyy! Glad to hear it man :D

Were they more beefy and less noticeably not meat compared to the grill? Because if yes, then I'm starting to wonder if maybe beyond beef would be better in the air fryer too, since I only ever tried frying those in a cast iron pan.
