First Time Meatloaf

[Chris H.]

Hey everyone,

As I'm trying to find new things to cook on my WSM-22, I figured I'd give meatloaf a shot. Used the recipe found right here on VWB, except substituted bread crumbs for the saltine crackers.

Used the whole chimney of lit KBB, followed up wtih 3/4 chimney of unlit. When the were all mostly gray, assembled the cooker, added 3 small chunks of pecan (tried to use a mild wood per the recommendations), and added the loaf. Cooked around 350 for approx 90'. At 105 temp, diamond scored the meatloaf, and slathered it in Sweet Baby Rays sauce. Took it off at 162 temp, tented it for 10 minutes, and got this beautiful thing --



Then, for the moment of truth, show me that smoke ring!!

Success! Meatloaf was quite good, and my better half was quite pleased!

Thanks for looking!

Nice job on the loaf, excellent smoke ring. I'll have to give meatloaf a try on the wsm.

Yum..I gotta give this a whirl too..I've done mini loafs of turkey burger but not any beef and not a typical meat loaf..

Looks tasty!!

One of my favorite ways to do meatloaf and you hit it out of the park Chris!

Nailed it. I made it for the first time a month ago and it makes for great leftovers.

That sir is a great looking meatloaf! We do ours on the gasser or performer but never have smoked one. Going to try that on the mini next time.

Beautiful loaf Chris. I like the way it sliced without crumbling. Nothing better than cold meat loaf sandwiches.

Looks really good.
