PIC -- Smoked Hamburger

bluesbqNothin' better than BBQ, blues, and beer.

I had never smoked hamburgers, so I thought I would give it a try today. I found 2.25 pounds of nice 80/20 hamburger at Walmart. I wanted to spice things up a bit, so I mixed this together:

1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

I poured most of this into the 2.25 pounds of hamburger, and mixed it up real good. I then made four patties, set the AQ to 250, and smoked with 2 ounces of hickory until the temperature reached 160. I then pulled the patties and put on a 500 degree gas grill for just a few minutes to crust up the outside a little. Here is the final result:

The flavor was excellent. What would I do different next time? Probably pull the patties at 140 degrees and finished on a hot gas grill to medium well (150-155 degrees). Other than that, the burgers were great, and I will definitely try them again.

My wife's been asking for hamburgers. This looks good, so I think I'll try this and see how she likes them. Smoky grilled hamburgers. Sounds tasty.

mrt 2Where there's smoke, there's beer.

BluesBQ,
Nice looking plate. If you are looking for Medium Well, I would pull at 140° then grill to 150°. Carryover will take you to 155° - 160°. No cheese!!!!!!!!!!

Have fun.
