Mesquite smoked.<\/p>\n
If he had his way, everything would be smoked.<\/p>\n

I love making burgers because I just start throwing everything into a bowl, mash it up, and see how it turns out.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it’s good.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, it’s not so good.<\/p>\n
This time, it was great. {the smoking may have had a lot to do with it}<\/em><\/p>\n Here’s what you’ll need:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just toss all the ingredients {minus the salt and pepper}<\/em> into a large bowl and mix with your hands. Then form 4 patties by tossing back and forth between your hands. Try to handle the patties as little as possible. Press your thumb slightly in the middle of the patties {this will make your patties stay flat and not get dome shaped}.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then sprinkle with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n You will want to smoke these.<\/p>\n Trust me.<\/p>\n Trust The Man too. {he is wise}<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chop up some Mesquite wood {or your preferred wood}<\/em> and soak in water for a few minutes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Get some coals burning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once they are white hot, put them in your BBQ and place the wood on top.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Replace the wire grill rack and close the lid to let the smoke start building.<\/p>\n Once it’s going good, place your patties on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Close the lid, but leave it cracked open so smoke can escape. You don’t want any fire, just smoke.<\/p>\n Just about 5-7 minutes on each side.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Smoked to perfection.<\/p>\n
