Smoked this guy for Canada day up here in Alberta. Fresh ground beef in a lattice of bacon. I used a spicy rub before laying down the cheddar cheese, then wrapped it all up and smoked it with hickory in my MES for about 4 hours. It tasted great and I will definitely be making more of these in the future.

Has anyone tried mixing the ground beef with spices, salt, wine etc. like you would when making sausage?

I have not mixed the spices with the ground beef - but I have applied a nice seasoning coating prior to putting in the stuffing.  I personally think ground beef fatties need some help with at least salt/pepper/garlic...but if I do a sausage fatty, I do not season it at all because the sausage has plenty of flavor.

Steve that looks great, Point. Yes I mix spices and things into my burger. Some like I would do meatloaf or sometimes burgers. Depends on the mood we are in. Get adventurous and try as many different things as you like.

Nice job Steve. I always mix whatever i want into the ground beef. A real good, basic mix is a pkg of Lipton French Onion Soup Mix--just DON'T add any salt to the fatty.
