I love smashburgers, but I also love them 8oz thick as well. For those thick ones I either grind my own or I SV to reduce the risk. No matter how though they have to have a crust (chimney, blowtorch, screaming hot CI, etc).
slicing off a chub sounds like a good way to get them started and less mess if you can hit that perfect frozen amount. Even if you have to cook to 150F+, still better than overcooked.
