Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.

Step 2

Shape your ground beef into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch larger in diameter than your burger buns.

Step 3

Season burger patties on both sides with Beef Seasoning.

Step 4

Place the seasoned patties on the grill and smoke for up to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of your burgers reads 135 degrees F. Whichever comes first.

Step 5

Increase the heat in your grill to at least 400 degrees F. Sear the burger patties for about 2-3 minutes on both sides. Add cheese after the first flip, if desired.

Step 6

Check the temperature of your burger patties for desired doneness. The FDA recommends 165 degrees F for a well done burger.

Step 7

Remove the burger patties and toast the buns over the high heat. Assemble your smoked burgers on your toasted buns with any desired toppings and serve immediately.
