I like to incorporate the seasoning into the ground beef before forming the patties and tossing them on the smoker.

I grilled for the first time in 15 years, and Traeger so simple for me I cook the perfect hamburger. I grilled the buns, and I put two pieces of Swiss cheese it was honestly the best burger I've tasted! I put a little bit of black pepper and steak dust. The meat was so tender. Kudos to traeger

Your video made me get out of bed at 9 pm, turn on my Traeger and drive to the store to buy burger stuff.

I followed Matt's Traeger pork rib recipe/video, it was FABULOUS! Now I'm going to follow the burger recipe! There's no way I can fail! This is going to be great!

Burgers came out great but it took a heck of a lot longer @ 390! 2 8oz Patties almost 30 minutes to get to 160 on instant read thermometer.

Bend the ends of the cheese toward the center to stop cheese spillage on to your grill

I smoke mine for about 20min. Pull them off the Traeger crank it all the way up put them back on for about 7min each side.

I just used this recipe on my Traeger. EXCELLENT. Juiciest burgers ever. Thanks for this Matt!

[richardkersey]

I blend the same custom rib rub I use mixing it with the meat by hand in a glass mixing bowl before hand forming the patties.

Just me personally how I’ve been doing burgers since I was a kid.. I like to sprinkle my seasonings on top and mix them around throughout the middle of burger with my fingers. I feel that way there’s more flavor throughout. This might not be true, I’m not sure, but just thought I would share

[phillipmier]

It definitely needs at least 10 min each side at 375, even at rest they don't seem to cook enough but still really juicy.

[BassAmateur]

Dude you forgot to cut the burger in half and show how juicy it is .. Dang It SON !

[curlylarrymoe]

The seasoning works better if you mix the ground beef with it!

[suzanneburt]

I have a small Traeger but so far all I've used it for is smoking ribs and a pork sirloin roast. Both have been terribly successful. I just don't know how to cook steaks or chicken without smoking them. Please advise. Thanks, Suzanne

Already have a Blackstone gas griddle on the way, and getting a Traeger!

When making burgers do u need to pit the grates at the lowest setting like you need to if u want to sear

[bananakiwi]

I’m not sure what we’re doing wrong, but our burgers took over 45 minutes to get to temp and it was set at 450°!

[caseysimpson]

Immediately liked your approach to burgers. Sub'd. Chose this as my first grill on my new Traeger.

[cherron]

How do you prevent flair ups when cooking burgers?

[keithbrum]

Do you know why I’d get ash on my food when cooking with my Traeger? My grill is always vacuumed, fan works and vents are open. I’ve asked two other Traeger folks and no response. Thank you!
