Ingredients
- 4 burger patties 1/2 pound each; 20% fat/80% lean blend
- 1 tbsp kosher salt use more or less, if needed
- 2 tsp black pepper use more or less, if needed
- 4 lices American cheese use your favorite cheese
- 4 burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter optional, for toasting the buns
- toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Fill the auger with your applewood pellets and set your smoker to 225 degrees F. When the smoke becomes wispy and blue it's ready for the burgers.
- Season the burger patties on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the burgers onto the smoker's grates and smoke for at least 35 minutes, then check the internal temperature. You're looking for 145 degrees F for medium, up to 160 for well done. *If you're going to sear the burgers as well, remove the burgers 10 degrees earlier (135 degrees for medium and 150 for well done).
- OPTIONAL: Turn the grill to 400 degrees F or use a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium high heat and sear the burgers for 2-3 minutes on each side to gain some char and color.
- Add the slices of cheese to melt five minutes before the end of the cook on the smoker (or right after flipping the burger while searing during the optional step).
- OPTIONAL: Toast the buns by spreading butter on their cut sides and toasting on a pan over medium heat on the stove until browned.
- Assemble the smoked burgers with the buns and choices of toppings. Serve hot.
