Hey folks, brand new smoker here but it occurred to me that smoked hamburger in chili would add a wonderful taste.  What would be the best method to smoke the hamburg, in logs or spread out on a tray?  I know with the hamburger in a log I could easily monitor the interior temperature but I'm wondering if others have discovered a better way.

Not sure about in the Bradley, but you can't go wrong on a hard wood grill/campfire by simply making some hamburger patties and cook over oak until done then add to chili.

Forget the hamburger.  Smoke a whole brisket and use the point for chili.

That's the best way to go

There are other ways you can add smoke flavor to your chili by applying smoke to the vegetable you will be adding to the chili, such as your onions and peppers.

You're right of course, this makes total sense.  I'm still new at this, grinding my own gives me total control of when I smoke and how.  Thanks everyone for your help, I'll get there eventually.
