Prepare the smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

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

Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C).

Place the wood chips in the smoker box or directly on the coals.

Arrange the burger patties on the smoker rack, ensuring they are not touching.

Smoke the burgers for about 1-1.5 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

During the last 5 minutes of smoking, add cheese on top of the patties to melt.

Remove the burgers from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes.

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

Assemble the burgers by placing patties on the buns and adding toppings as desired.
