Saturday Collaboration - Smoked Meatloaf

[John Sp]

Hello All,

Well we were plowing through another busy Saturday of kid activities and chores and time got away from us again (anyone noticing a theme in my life here?). Along about late afternoon Kari and I looked at each other and said "Well what are you cooking tonight?" And so was born another collaboration. She agreed to lay up a meatloaf and I agreed to cook it on the OTG. Here are a few pics of our collaboration.

Kari's Meatloaf about 80% 80/20 and 20% Home Made Italian Sausage


On the Grill Indirect Minion with Hickory

Near the End - Basted with PlusFive

The family really enjoyed this. We have meatloaf frequently but I had never grilled it before. The high heat smoke worked really well and the flavor was awesome. This was the perfect meal for a busy day and it is always fun to cook with Kari - win-win. I suspect I will be called upon to do this again. Thanks for looking.

Regards,

John

Great looking meatloaf John, nice teamwork with Kari too! Barb and I only do meatloaf on the grill anymore with just a little smoke it's better than any oven meatloaf for sure.

Nice looking loafs John, meatloaf on the grill or WSM is always a winner

Excellent looking meatloafs! I've come back around to enjoy meatloafs. Growing up, my mom's version was horrendous!! Haha. Took me a while to see there were way better versions. Yours definitely looks great!

Good grief bud, all the amazing cooks you post here and you haven't done that? Must not be much of a California thing? The OP did it right- once you have cooked meatloaf over charcoal it's pretty hard to be impressed by one from an oven. Put some mashed taters on a cedar plank with it and you have a real crowd pleaser.
