Instructions:

Soak the wooden planks in water for 1 hour

Place the soaked planks on the grill and let them heat for a few minutes until they start to smoke

Place the burger patties on the hot planks and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness

During the last minute of grilling, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese

While the burgers are grilling, prepare the special sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle relish, and garlic powder in a bowl

Season with salt and pepper to taste
