An electric smoker gives a smokey flavor to hamburgers without having to burn charcoal or gas. Insteady, use wood chips specifically made for smoking. These are available at camping and barbecue supply stores. Do not use wood chips from hardware stores or scraps of lumber as these could have hazardous chemicals in them which will be released during smoking.
Step 1
Soak the wood chips for 1 hour in water before cooking the hamburgers.
