Smoked Hamburgers
I have recipes for the BEST Burger Recipes on the blog, but I have to tell you, this recipe for Traeger Burgers has to be my new favorite! They are juicy and full of flavor and sooo delicious!
Spring grilling season is right around the corner and I bet depending on where you live some of your even have fired up your smoker, right? Perfect timing then for this recipe.
With our record cold temperatures and heavy snow, it’s been a winter for the record books but we’ve still been enjoying meals on the grill and the smoker. How about you?
Mainly because we invested in an AMAZING thermal blanket for our smoker and I can’t tell you how much we love it! Totally works. Keeps that temperature nice and even and saves us money on pellets because we don’t go through as many of them.

Jason tried these burgers out the other day.
I had been up town doing a few meetings and appointments. When I pulled into the driveway I saw he had fired up the smoker. I couldn’t wait to rush inside and see what he had up his sleeve.
How fun is that?
A husband that goes grocery shopping, recipe develops and spoils me for lunch?

I told my girlfriend about this moment in my life and she was wondering how I got so lucky! #blessedwiththebest

LOVE the smoke flavor in these burgers!!
Totally takes the burger to a new level!
I made these last night and hubby and I just loved them! I think this is how we are going to make our burgers from now on!!
Once you have these it’s hard to go back to “regular” burgers!
Well if you love them, then I know I would love them. Can’t wait to try these!
Yes you will! Maybe I should have you over to enjoy them 😉
If I showed this post to my husband, I bet he would buy a Traeger 🙂 He LOVES hamburgers, and these sound divine!
He needs to get one!
Smoked hamburgers are the best!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
They are! So much flavor!
what flavor pellets are best?-THANKS
I like a mesquite if you are going for a smokier and robust flavor, but really any pellet would work. I would stay away from Apple!
Try using lean beef then adding about half a stick of butter per lb (diced). Out of this world good, we are on a diet and Still make these regularly. Great recipe!! Pull about 135 and seat for 3 minutes per side at the end for that crispy grilled texture!
So happy you enjoyed them!
These look delicious! Do you put the burgers on the bottom grate? I put them on the top the other night, and it took forever to cook. I am still learning how to do everything on my Traeger.
Yes, we typically use the bottom grate for smoking.
That high temp/short cook time really makes a big difference when compared to low-and-slow recipes. These are the best we’ve made so far and will stick with this recipe.
Awesome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
