Procedures:

1. Start by preheating the smoker or grill to 500°.
2. Season the burgers generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Next, place the burgers onto the grill and cook them for 4 to 6 minutes per side.
4. In the meantime, bread the onions and fry them until golden brown. Set them aside to drain.

6. In addition, add the bacon to the grill to reheat and crisp up.
7. Set the burgers aside to rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
8. In the meantime, brush the buns with melted unsalted butter.
9. Toast them in a pan over medium heat or on a griddle at 350° for 2 to 3 minutes or until toasted.
10. Layer on the burger as follows: bottom toasted bun, burger, 1 to 2 slices of crisp cooked bacon sliced in half, ¼ cup of pickled jalapeños, crispy tobacco onions, 2 to 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce, and finally, the top toasted bun.
11. I like to serve this alongside some additional BBQ sauce.
