Preheat your pellet smoker to 500°F. For this smoked burgers recipe, I'm using cherry pellets, but any pellet you prefer will do.
Using your hands, form 4-6 burger patties about half an inch thick. The burgers will shrink in the smoker, so I usually do 4 patties about half a pound each.
2 pounds Ground Beef
Combine all of your seasonings into a small bowl and mix them together well.
1 teaspoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt, 1 teaspoon Coarse Ground Pepper, 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
Coat your burgers with the seasoning right before adding them to the smoker. Don't season them until you're ready to smoke the burgers; burgers aren't like steak, and salt will dry them out if you season too early.
Smoke the burgers for 10 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 135°F for medium doneness. See my burger temperature chart below for more info.
Remove from the smoker, add to buns with your favorite burger toppings, and enjoy!
