Instructions
Preheat your electric smoker to 225°F. If your smoker has a water pan, fill it with 1 cup of water, beer, or beef broth.
Combine Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the ground beef and use your hands to combine it.
Divide the beef mixture into six equal portions, and form each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Each patty will weigh approximately ¼ pound.
Place the burgers directly on the grill grates or a grilling tray, leaving some space between them. Shut the door and smoke the burgers for 60-90 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F. Brush the burgers with BBQ sauce, flip them over, brush with BBQ sauce again, and add a slice of cheese on top. Smoke for 10 more minutes until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature of the burgers in the thickest part is 160°F.
Serve the burgers with toasted buns, burger sauce, and your favorite toppings and condiments.
Notes
The nutritional information does not include the burger buns, toppings, or condiments.
Experiment with different wood chips or combine them to create a unique smoke flavor.
Soak wood chips for at least 30 minutes before using. (I soak them while the smoker is preheating).
Reverse-sear the burgers in a cast iron skillet after smoking for an extra crispy exterior.
