I have had the urge to smoke another meatloaf ever since reading Bruce's post about a week ago. Tonight, I used 1.5lbs Venison and .5lbs ground chuck to smoke a meatloaf. I started one full chimney of Kingsford and then put one chimney of unlit kingsford on top. I foiled the water pan and used no water. I ran the WSM between 325 and 350 for 1.5 hours and pulled the meatloaf at 160 degrees. When the meatloaf was 130 internal temp I glazed it. I think I will wait until the loaf was at 150 degrees before I glaze next time. It seems as though some of the sauce "cooked off". But, I had plenty of extra warm sauce to serve on the side. For smoke wood I used a small amount of Cherry and Apple wood. This is easily the greatest meatloaf I have ever made. I highly recommend giving this a try.

The recipe I used is:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice, divide
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2 pounds ground beef
3 slices bread, broken up
into small pieces
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules


Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, 1
tablespoon lemon juice and mustard powder.
3 In a separate large bowl, combine the ground beef,
bread, onion, egg, bouillon, remaining lemon juice and 1/3 of
the ketchup mixture from the small bowl. Mix this well and
place in a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
4 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, drain
any excess fat, coat with remaining ketchup mixture and
bake for 10 more minutes.

Yeah, that looks good. I have yet to try meatloaf. Is that wax paper under the loaf? Any problem getting the loaf to stay together in the early stage.
