- 4 slices cheese Swiss or cheddar
- 8 strips bacon
- lettuce to serve
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 1 large white onion sliced

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground brisket and minced garlic.
- Shape the mixture into evenly shaped patties. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Fire up your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add a handful of oak wood chunks to the coals. If you are using a grill, set up for 2-zone indirect cooking.
- Season the brisket patties with kosher salt and black pepper
- Place patties on smoker or grill grates (on the indirect side). Be sure to leave at least 1 inch of space between each patty.
- Smoke until burger internal temperature is 140°F (60°C), about 1 hour
- On the hot side of your grill (or in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat), cook the bacon for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Sear patties either on high heat on your grill or in a hot cast-iron skillet. After 1-2 minutes, flip burgers and place cheese on top. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
- Serve when cheese is melted and burger internal temperature is 165°F (74°C)
- Serve in buns, and top with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, and barbecue sauce
