My wife likes to get these pretzel rolls in the frozen section at the grocery store.

So being creative I decided to try something a little different and smoke some sliders for dinner.

The patties were about 3.5" in diameter 1/2" thick with a slight dimple in the center for holding the juices.

I seasoned these with the Grill Mates Hamburger spice, but normally use their Montreal Seasoning.

I smoked them for about 25 minutes at 225*, don't flip them just put them on and let them smoke.

I used apple pellets, so they get a bit more of a smoke ring (redish color), which always worries my wife that they aren't done, but a quick poke test showed they were firm.

No condiments needed, very juicy burgers.
 
Dang I like the looks of that; we already had dinner.. but I could eat again!! :thumb:

I really like the idea of the slow smoked burgers. I've been finishing off steaks lately with some smoke from the pear wood shavings (drench in water, straight on the grill). I love apple wood smoke but pear gives it a solid run for the money.
