If I may interject my own 2 cents.
The two best cooking tools I've found for smash burgers are
This 12" x 20" 10 Gauge Steel Griddle
and this 6" x 5" Steel Spatula
The griddle gives you a big area to cook the burger on (it sits nicely over two burners)
And the spatula is big enough to smash any burger and crush it down to that desired 1/4"
Ideally you should be smashing about 1/3 lbs or less of burger for a smash burger and crushing it down to close to 1/4". Don't put the burger on the griddle until it's good and hot, and it should only take a couple minutes on each side of the burger.
Pro Tip: when you think the burger is close to done, put the cheese on, squirt a little cold water on the griddle around the burger and cover the burger with a bowl. This will cause the water to steam and the cheese will melt in seconds.
(There is unfortunately very little that you can do about the smoke).
