How to make a gluten-free burger
Prepare: While the grill is heating to 375 degrees, place the ground beef in a large bowl with the salt and pepper. Mix in spices until incorporated.
Shape the patties: Split the meat into 8 balls, shape them into patties, and set on a baking sheet.
Cook: Cook the burger patties on the grill until you reach your desired doneness. If you want a cheeseburger, add cheese at the last minute of cooking.
Serve: Add the burger to your gluten free bun and serve with your desired toppings.
Pro tip: Place the hamburger bun, split side down on the grill, and toast for 2 minutes. This is what some fast-food restaurants do to take their burgers to the next level.

What’s are best gluten free hamburger buns?
A lettuce wrap gets old when you have gluten allergies so finding a good gluten free burger bun is a must. My favorite gluten free options are Canyon Bakehouse buns, Udis buns, and Schär Hamburger Buns. These brands also make great hot dog buns and gluten free bread. But, you can also make your own using a blend of gluten free flours.

My mouth was watering at these pictures. YUMM. Definitely had to try them ASAP (but cooked them on the stovetop like you said, though, because it rained here). Thanks for the detailed post!
