Weigh out 150 grams of minced meat and shape them into burger patties.

Sprinkle the patties lightly with salt.

Prepare a 57 centimeter Weber kettle grill with a charcoal basket filled with briquettes.

Light the briquettes and wait until they are fully ashed over.

Dump the briquettes into the charcoal basket on one side of the charcoal grate.

Place the burger patties on the opposite side of the grill, leaving space between each patty.

Add a chunk of cherry wood for smoky flavor and close the lid.

Smoke the burgers at 135 degrees Celsius for about an hour until they reach an internal temperature of 74 degrees Celsius.

Add two slices of cheddar cheese on each patty once they reach 72 degrees Celsius and close the lid to let the cheese melt.

Remove the burger patties from the grill once the cheese is melted.

Cut the burger patties in half and stuff them into taco shells with lettuce, tomato, sauce, mustard, and pickles.
