Preheat smoker to 250 degrees.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 2 pounds ground beef, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, until evenly combined.
On a piece of parchment paper, flatten out the ground beef in to a rectangle shape, makign it slightly larger than the size of the size of the Hawaiian buns rectangle. (About an inch larger should be good.)
Transfer ground beef rectangle on to smoker grill. (Using your hand, or a spatula, you should be able to flip the patty on to the smoker and pull the parchment paper off.)
Smoke for one hour, or until the internal temperature of the ground beef reaches 160 degrees. (Meat will look pink due to the smoke.)
While meat is smoking, and toward the end of the hour, this is a good time to melt the 2 Tablespoons butter, and combine it with the ½ teaspoon garlic salt. It's also a good time to slice the Hawaiian buns in half, creating a bottom layer and a top layer of buns. (Do not cut individual buns right now.)
When the meat has finished smoking, place the bottom layer of 12 Hawaiian buns in an aluminum foil pan and place the smoked ground beef patty on top of the buns.
Top ground beef with 9 slices American cheese (or more) and top with top bun layer. Brush on half of the melted seasoned butter and cover the pan with aluminum foil.
Place the pan on the smoker and smoke for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the buns are nice and steamed/toasted.
