Killed 2 birds with 1 stone today. I wanted to cook with the mini wsm since I installed a new thermometer and a 12" terra cotta platter, and try a smoked meatloaf for first time.
Some of the ingredients ready for mixing - not included in the pic is the Wild Willy's Wonderful rub that I mixed using the Smoke and Spice book.
The loaf is formed and extra Wild Willy's rub is sprinkled on top.
Loaf on the mini wsm with parchment paper under it to keep it evenly on the grill grate. Also splashed with Worcestershire sauce
Smoker together with cherry for the smoke wood.
Loaf was sauced with a ketchup based sauce after 1.5 hours.
Loaf resting - ready for slicing.
Meatloaf is served.
Results were very good and it is definitely being moved up in the rotation for grilling/smoking. One comment on the terra cotta base that I put in for the heat deflector - it kept the grill temp very steady; however, I could not get the grill temperature above 275°. This was not an issue with the thin metal portable grill base that I used as a heat deflector prior to the new platter. Not sure if others have this experience, but it seemed to be the case today. Overall I am very happy with the mods to the mini.
