Smoked Texas Burger

Recipe by First We Feast

A true Texas‑style smoked burger cooked low and slow on an offset kettle grill. The beef patties are seasoned simply with salt, smoked over apple or alder wood chips for 50 minutes, then sandwiched between a soft bun with raw onion, dill pickle and your favorite barbecue sauce. The method brings the classic barbecue smoke flavor to a juicy hamburger.

Critical Success Points

  • Setting up the offset fire with coals on one side and keeping the cooking zone indirect
  • Maintaining a steady grill temperature of 225 °F throughout the 50‑minute smoke
  • Flipping the patties only once and adding fresh wood chips for continuous smoke

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot coals with heat‑resistant gloves; they can cause severe burns
  • Never use lighter fluid in a charcoal grill – it imparts toxic flavors
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid undercooking; ensure internal temperature reaches safe level
  • Be cautious when opening the top vent – hot air and ash may escape
