Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • When you’re ready to cook your burgers turn the Traeger on to smoke and leave the lid open for 5 minutes to start the smoke. Close the lid and set the temperature to 450 degrees F (or high heat). It will take about 15 minutes to get up to the temperature. Make sure you have enough wood pellets to keep the high temperatures.
  • In a large bowl combine the ground beef, egg, oat flour, bbq sauce, chives, garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Mix fully so that all the flavors get combined well. The best way is with your hands!
  • Divide the burger mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape the perfect burger patty by making a round circle, flattening it until it’s about ½ thick patties, and then adding a small indentation in the center of the top of the burger. This will help it to maintain a flatter shape, and not turn into a burger ball.
  • When the Traeger smoker is ready to go, place patties on the grill grate, close the lid, and cook for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, flip the burgers, and cook for another 5 minutes. If you plan to add cheddar cheese to your burger, add the cheese after 5 minutes and close the lid for 1 minute to melt the cheese.
  • The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees for a medium-rare. Cook a couple more minutes for medium burgers.
  • Serve with burger buns, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and/or pickles, plus all your favorite condiments, and enjoy the amazing flavor!
