Was able to get a little more cooking done at work and feed the guys again. Smoked the burgers last night while cooking some ribs, gave them a sear and melted cheese tonight. Figured if I was lighting the grill I may as well do some cooking for the house as well and used a Hassell Cattle Company tri-tip that defrosted.

Explain the burger seasoning to me, because at first glance it looks like you couldn't taste the meat through all the seasoning.

I know it’s an abomination to say this on this board, but I enjoy a fairly heavily seasoned burger.

Are smoked burgers good? I'd be interested.

I like a healthy pinch or two of S&P, but those burgers look solidly encased in black pepper. Just wondering if I'm missing something.

We love smoked burgers at our house. I usually put them on my smoker for about at hour at 185-200, then finish them off either on my Blackstone or gas grill to char off the outside a bit.

Smoked burgers are awesome. Yours look good. What was the fat content on them? One trick I use when putting my burgers together is mixing in a little hoisin sauce in the meat mix with seasoning to help lock in some moisture.

I saw a few ingredients out. What all did you season the tri-tip with?

Your prep work gets an A+ and presentation gets an A++.

Bet those tasted fantastic.

Like one of the previous posters, I am essentially reverse searing the burgers. I run the fire down and keep the pit around 220 until they get close to 140 internal. Seasoning this time was just a straight 2:1 salt and pepper. I think next time I may try 2.5-3:1. Depends on the cheese, but I feel like most toppings also involve salt. Seasoning isn't bad, as each burger was an 8 oz patty. I've tried smaller, but they just don't hold up as well going from smoker to searing.

Fat content on these was almost right at 80/20 chuck to bacon. I've never tried the hoisin sauce, but I may. I have a cabinet full of Asian sauces because I love to try and cook Asian food, but I am average at best lol.

fairly heavily


I’m not sure you know what ‘fairly’ actually means. I’d eat it though, and it looks good.

Smoked burgers are amazing. Going to do some tonight.

If you have the time, it's the way to go.
