Prepare the smoker to 225°F using your preferred wood chips.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped bacon, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika.

Form the mixture into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.

Place the patties on the smoker and cook for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Remove the patties from the smoker and let rest for 5 minutes.

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

Assemble the burgers by placing the patty on the bun and topping with onion, pickles, mustard, ketchup, and barbecue sauce.

Add lettuce and any additional toppings as desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy your smoked crack burgers.
