Slice onions thinly using a deli slicer or knife.

Sprinkle sliced onions with kosher salt and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.

Form 3 oz balls of ground brisket without compacting them.

Preheat the Yoda Smoker's YS-640S pellet grill to 500°F.

Place the beef balls on the hot griddle and smash them down with a spatula.

Add a pile of onions on top of the smashed patties and season with Catman's Grill tri tip steak seasoning.

Cook until the patties are seared, then flip them and add a slice of American cheese on top.

Place the top bun on the patties to warm and help melt the cheese.

Assemble the burger with pickles sandwiched between the patties on the bottom bun.
