smoked burgers?

[smoke_it_up]

i know you can smoke all types of meat but has ne1 ever smoked the tradition american burger other than grilling over the heat. i was kinda thinking about it. this may sound like a stupid question bt i thought i would throw it out there.

we do it all the time & it is great. noone has posted about smoked meatloaf in a while you can search for that- it rocks.

they turn out great.......make sure you poke a hole in the center......all the way thru.........prevents the burger from puffing up in the center of the burger

seriously i like more meat than bread (hamburger meat dude i see you like to bust on people) by the time its done grilling they go from 5"-6" x 1" thick burgers to 3" round to 3" thick lol it sucks to try to eat bu when they're eatin it was well worth the struggle

I did a couple burgers in my smoker a few weeks ago it was very informal so i dont have any times or temps but im gonna guess a couple hours at about 225 they were very good and definatly different very juicy
someone else can give you better details but i do give my thumbs up !!

I recommend a quick trip on a hot grill after smoking. Seems to seal in the juices and firm up the outside of it.

Did some recently using 1 1/4 lb. lean ground, rubbed with Cajun seasoning into 3 patties and then topped with provolone cheese for the last 15 minutes ...

Anything you like ... I prefer Mesquite for a short smoke!

Instead of poking a hole in it, you can indent the center with your thumb and accomplish the same thing. Either should work though.
