Wagyu meatloaf, and half a butt

Since I know some of you were concerned about my recent health issue, A-fib, I want you to know I'm fine.
My pacemaker check yesterday showed that my heart has been back in rhythm since Aug. 1, and I'm tolerating my blood thinner much better now.
Thank you all for your support.

No plated pics, but here's a meatloaf I made last Saturday using "Kobe Style" Wagyu ground beef from Aldi.
Here's the main ingredients, although after I dumped in a few oats, and saw they weren't the quick cook type, I also added some crushed crackers.
Since the grind is 85/15 I also added some diced butter along with salt and spices.



On perforated parchment paper.



Got my sauce (ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and cider vinegar) on a bit late, this thing cooked fast!



I had cut a whole butt in half before freezing it for 2 cooks so we wouldn't have so much leftover, this is the bone half, using Kbb, maple and pecan for smoke, the rub was Weber's Classic:



The 14" WSM wanted to run in the 280/290 range so I let her have at it.
Done in 7 hours:



It almost pulled itself, so tender and moist.
Jo said it was one of my best.



My only plated shot, Monday's lunch.
Cold meatloaf, with tomato and mayo on gummy white bread.



Thanks for viewing, and for being such good friends.

Incredible cooks. Love that meat loaf. Pork butt is spot on!

Great looking food Bob! Good to hear the ticker is back in rhythm.

Thank you for your update Bob. Really glad things have improved and you're feeling better. That pork looks so delicious. I like your composition just as well as the photos themselves. Meatloaf sandwiches are one of my very favorites and yours is terrific. Looking forward to your pictures on the big solar event on Monday!

Bob great to hear all is ok now. We want to keep it that way. You cooks look awesome, port butt yummy but the meatloaf sandwich is the tops.

Fine looking PP and meatloaf Bob. Glad to hear things have improved for you.

I'm glad you're ok!!! I've never been a fan of meatloaf. Wonder if doing it this way might change it. Mind
If I ask how much the Wagyu was?

Looks great!!!! Nice Job!!!!

Glad you are feeling better. Don't know which I like better: the meatloaf sammy or the PP. Both look super!

Good news! Wonderful cooks! I really need to do a meatloaf, cooking it on the parchment paper is a great idea

Glad you're feeling better Bob, Fine looking cook & that meatloaf sandwich is fantastic.

That's what I wanted to hear, I have A-Fib also but no PM yet. The blood thinner is a PITA as you by now know, you just bump something and bingo a nice big bruise. When I play with Whitney my arms look like someone beat me with a pipe.
Back to the good stuff, great looking PP, that's a good idea cutting the butt in half. The meatloaf looks perfect, living with the Queen of the meatloaf's I've become somewhat of a connoisseur of them.
That meatloaf sammie is right out of my playbook too.
