COOK IT.
Place your meatballs on the top grate, then close the grill lid to smoke for 15 minutes at 225°F.
After 4 minutes total, your patties should be medium. For well-done, extend the cooking time to 6 minutes.
Remove the patties, add them to the buns, and dress with your favorite fixings. Enjoy your Smoked Smash Burgers!
Open the lid, remove the smoked meatballs, and set them aside.
Place a cast-iron pan or griddle directly onto the bottom cooking grid.
Wait for the griddle to become smoking hot before proceeding: the heavy-duty grid’s thermal mass will help create the perfect crust.
Add cooking oil to your pan or griddle’s surface.
Return the meatballs to the grill, spacing them 2 inches apart on the griddle.
Smash them down using a spatula.
Season the patties with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Close the lid and sear the patties for 2 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side.
