Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef 85/15 or 80/20 blend
  • dash salt and pepper
  • splash Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • Form your ground beef patties to be a touch larger than the buns you're using and about a ½ inch thick
  • Hit each side of the burger with a dash of salt and pepper
  • Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce
  • Smoke the burgers for about an hour, or until the internal temp hits 125 with an instant-read thermometer.
  • Remove burgers from smoker and turn temp up to high (400+)
  • put burgers back in smoker and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on how you like your burger cooked. 140 is medium, but the USDA recommends cooking all ground beef products to 165 degrees. 
  • Let rest for 5 minutes and serve

Notes

I like to use a burger press to keep the patty size uniform.
