I think smoking burgers in many ways is easier than grilling them. They're perfect for outdoor grilling / food smoking parties in the backyard because they're difficult to mess up. It's easier to burn traditional grilled burgers, or overcook them if you get carried away chatting with guests while they're on the grill. For party or meal prepping smoked burger, you can pop them on the Traeger before the party starts, since they take about 2 hours. Use a thermometer that stays in the burgers like the one I recommend below and you'll get alerted on your phone when they're ready to take off the grill. They always turn out tender and juicy!
