Title: Smoked Burgers ala Traeger
Post by: mikecorn.1 on September 01, 2013, 07:42:31 PM
Quick thread with limited pics thanks to me accidentally updating my tapatalk app. FRUSTRATED AS HECK!! I got another thread up asking for help with that matter :)

PSA: NO PEAS WERE MADE IN THE MAKING OF THESE BURGERS!

80/20 getting some smoke

Bread on to get some char marks and warm up

Tasted great!

Inside view. Just a Lil bit O mayo, ketchup, cheese and few thin slices of avacado. I usually eat them naked, bun and meat. So this is extreme for me ;) ;D

Still in training. Ready to get it over with and head out to the plant and get some hands on. Although when I get out there I'm looking at another 3 to 4 months of training on just one side of the block I'm going to. ::o

Mike
Had them on smoke setting for about 2 hours Then I raised the temp up to 325 till they were done. Probably about 2.5 hrs total. I don't cook by times, I go by looks and the ole Thermapen. They still came out great!
The wife and kids had me speeding up the process ;).

I usually do them on the SRG grill but I ran out of propane. I have 3 empty bottles on hand. The family said they like them smoked better.

I have been doing burgers for a long time on my Traeger low & slow, not as slow as Mike did here but still low & slow when it comes to burgers. Yours look good Mike & I'll have to try that way. Lately I have been doing them higher and on the back sides of grill grates for some good browning. Don

I did a couple of burgers on my SRG yesterday. I like the nice sear marks, it cooks quick, and the flavor is good but the darn thing smokes way too much for me.
Is it just me or does yours smoke a lot when grilling burgers, or bacon, or anything greasy?

The inside of the SRG get's so hot with that grill top on that any grease going in there is instantly vaporized causing all that smoke. Sometimes you wonder if the fire dept is going to show up. The same thing happens with my RED.

Same thing that Muebe said. Sometimes I wonder what the neighbors are thinking when the smoke starts billowing out of my yard when I have burgers in the SRG. ;D
