Smoked Hamburgers

Burger Temperatures
For best results, I recommend always using a meat thermometer, and following my Burger Temperature Chart! This is the most useful tool for checking if your beef is done to your liking. The USDA recommends ground beef be cooked to a minimum of 160°F.
Smoking Burgers Tips
Hamburgers have a tendency to shrink up during cooking of any sort. This is why I go for a ½-pound patty. Once the shrinking finishes, you’ve still got a nice size patty that fits the bun well.It’s important to not season the burgers until you’re ready to stick them on the smoker. The salt will dry out the burgers quickly once added.I used cherry pellets, but there’s no reason you can’t use any flavor you prefer or have on hand already.Don’t over-flip your burgers. Only flip them once, if possible. Not only do you lose seasoning, but you lose juices, resulting in a less than a satisfactory burger. Less flipping results in a better-tasting and moist burger.
Burger Seasoning
These hamburgers are just amazing with the minimal seasoning on this recipe. If you want to mix it up a bit, try using our burger seasoning. It is really really good and also very simple.
