Jamaican Jerk Burgers for Grill

For the BBQer in the family. I will also post the Orange-Chipotle Mayonnaise. Original was from Automatic Slim's Tonga Club-Memphis, Tenn. posted in Bon Appetit. Note to those who are going to try this: Please make sure you read the reviewers comments. I don't plan on jiggling the recipe because it is a restaurant recipe posted by Amysauntjo. However, looks around and whispers, A bit of Jerk seasoning like the one I get from one of the major companies might not be amiss mixed in with the meat. But don't tell the restaurant that either... and you might really want to include the mayo suggested on this.
