The best burgers I ever had were just a simple regular hamburger placed in a charcoal smoker covered with garlic powder and hot smoked with hickory. then seasened with salt and pepper at serving time. Melt in your mouth.

Lots of good recipies for sure. We have been making Hobo's for years. always easy and one of my faves. My hamburger recipe that I have developed and been using for sometime is as follows. This isn't exact in terms of measurements as I have never kept very close track but you get the idea
2lbs lean ground beef
3tbs worchesthire
10 or more Club Crackers finely ground (I usually put them and a Ziplock baggie and take a rolling pin to them. You want them crushed really fine)
2 eggs
Salt pepper to your taste
dash of garlic salt
Sprinkle in as much as you want Real Bacon Bits
Splash on Red cooking wine
Add a couple of tbs of your favorite bbq sauce.
Add parmesan cheese. I usually go a little heavy on this cause I just love the flavor it gives the burgers.

Mix everything in a large bowl. Work it together real well. I usually let it all sit tigether for about a half hour before forming into patties.
Thorw on the smoker or indirect grill. The key here is ( like I even have to say it on this forum) LOW and SLOW. You don't want to cook all of that good flavor you put into them out.
I like right off the grill onto a bun with a leaf of lettuce and thats about it. Maybe a slice of raw onion. These are the juciest most flavorfull burgers you could want. I always thought it a shame to cover em up with ketchup or mustard but thats not to say you couldn't.
 
Why not 20 beef fat/80 venison ?, grind your own, why pay for ground beef when you can get the fat for free or just about for free.

Thanks for posting the recipes, already copied and save a bunch.
