what i did was get my smoker up to 225, put on about 2oz of hickory and waited until it started smoking, put on the 80/20 burgers (seasoned with salt, pepper, and some garlic powder) until they were about 140, moved them to a hot grill and reverse seared them. i don't see anything overly wrong with my technique so maybe i just don't care for smoked hamburgers? what are your thoughts and is your experience similar to mine?

flavor of smoked burger
so i made smoked burgers not that long ago and they turned out juicy but the flavor i wasn't completely thrilled with. it honestly tasted just like a hot, juicy, hamburger textured landjaeger. 100% landjaeger. that isn't the worst flavor to be experiencing but it's just not what i prefer when i eat a hamburger.

I don't want smoked burger or steak. I don't even need smoked chuck (browned and braised is fine by me).
For burgers and steaks, it is more about the grilled flavor over an open flame. I don't mind going indirect, but NO wood, just whatever flavor attaches itself from burning briquettes while going indirect. I've pan fried steaks in olive oil to medium-rare that were TOTALLY satisfying.

So when reverse searing hamburgers on the webber kettle, my wife says that they are too smokey although I didn't use any wood to smoke. What can I do to remove some of the smoke taste? I love the flavor but she doesn't.
