2. Lay burgers on an oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook burgers, turning once, until browned on both sides and no longer pink inside (cut to test), 7 to 8 minutes total.
3. Remove from grill.
4. Lay buns, cut side down, on grill and cook until lightly toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
5. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on bun bottoms.
6. Add lettuce, tomato, burger, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Set bun tops in place.
