It is time to stalk the beef aisle for a cheap smaller brisket. Throw that into your cart and get down to business. Smoked Brisket Burgers, yeah, you read that right.

Things are starting to heat up around here, and as much as I would like to hold out until the first official day of summer, I think we will be kicking off my weekly grilling series a full month early.

I never realized how solar powered I was until this year. It seems the moment the sunrise peeks across the sky and the birds start to sing, I can’t bring myself to sleep any longer.

I am waking up earlier, working later, and have more energy then the cold dark winter months. Is it possibly to be dreading autumn already?

This was all set in stone the moment I got my first whiff of a far off charcoal grill, I knew it was flame on for me. The time of year when I take a freezer inventory and try to manipulate all of my recipes for the grill or smoker. When I first saw these burgers over at Crumb, I’m pretty sure I had to wipe drool off of my key board. I staked the beef aisle until a cheap smaller brisket happily landed in my cart and got down to business.

First things first:

What is Brisket Anyway?

A Brisket is cut from the breast or lower chest of beef cattle. One of the nine beef primal cuts, the brisket includes the superficial and deep pectorals muscles. This makes for a fairly tough piece of meat. But braised, smoked, or slowly roasted, it’s magically gets soft and oh-so satisfying. And the flavor? Yeah, it’s good.

This Smoked Brisket Burger will prove how versatile Brisket really is.

So get your smokers ready. This isn’t the quickest burger to get on the table, but once you taste that fresh ground brisket smoked to perfection, you won’t be buying frozen patties ever again.

True Story, I love burgers. So much so, that I own and manage Burger Month. So if you’re looking for the absolute best burger game around, I think you’ve found it. Try these babies out on your grill!
