Start by topping off the pellet hopper with Ace Reserve blend pellets.

Set the Traeger grill to a cooking temperature of 275°F.

Prepare 4 half-pound (8 oz) preformed 80/20 ground chuck burgers.

Season the top side of the burgers with a 50/50 blend of rubadub and coffee rub.

Flip the burgers and season the backside as well.

Let the seasoned burgers sit while the Traeger reaches 275°F.

Once the Traeger is preheated, place the burgers on the bottom rack close to the heat.

Leave the burgers alone for about 50 minutes without checking.

After 50 minutes, check the burgers' internal temperature, which should be around 145°F.

Add American and cheddar cheese on top of the burgers to melt.

Place the buns on the grill to warm them up while the cheese melts for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, remove the burgers and buns from the grill.
