Basic Burgers

[PIT Shawn]

So, I’m doing my first cook right now (spatchcocked whole chicken). I’m going to have plenty of hours of smoke left so what about throwing a couple of 1/2 lb. burgers on there?
Any recommendations on a good temp for burgers over charcoal in a UDS?

Same temp as the chicken

I read that as cooking temp suggestion my bad

I assume you are cooking the chicken around 275F? That’s a good temp to get bite through skin. If so that temp is awesome for 1/2 lbs burgers. Just smoke to 160F and enjoy. I love smoked burgers and have them often for lunch when doing longer smokes.

Yes, the chicken was smoked at 275 and the cranked up to 315-ish for the last 30 min.
I’m going to throw a couple burgers on at 275 now.
Thanks for the advice, folks.
