Some history:
I've never been a fan of Ham Loaf, although it has been my Mother-in-Law's go-to dish for Easter for decades. We lost her suddenly in November to Pancreatic Cancer, and my wife's Dad has expressed a desire to continue the tradition for this year's Easter meal.
About the time I got my 18.5" WSM, I had a grocery store sample of a Ham Loaf the Meat Department had made that was wonderful! We bought one, baked it in the oven, and loved it.
Their recipe is a "secret," but they finally told me the ingredients (but not amounts) after I made several trips to buy another, but they had none "in stock."
It is made with ground ham, ground pork, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and liquid smoke. I figured the WSM was a better answer to the smoke taste, and guessed at a 1.5# Ham: 1# Pork ratio... but don't know where to go from there.
My Father-in-Law has loved the chicken, ribs, and meatloaf from my first exploits on the WSM, so I'd like to try this.
Do any of you WSM Pros have any advice???
Thanks in advance-
