I finally got my CL acquired WSM dialed in the way I want it, and did a few test runs, so time to put it to work. This is my first WSM, and I am amazed at what a great cooking instrument this thing is. I shouldn't have waiting for a CL popup, I should have just bought a new one 2 years ago.
Tonight's cook was a 50/50 split. The meatloaf was excellent, the potato's not so much. But, this is how we learn to perfect our dishes, eh?
Started with 6 Red potato's diced into 1 inch cubes. Seasoned with S&P and Olive Oil...
Next, time to get my weave on....
Meat ready to be loafed. 1lb Angus 80/20, 1lb ground pork, 1/2 onion, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, and 1/2 cup BBQ sauce...
Fine looking fattie right there....
Onto the WSM at 275. Potato's were on the bottom rack, nekid for now...
2 hours in, added 4 cups of casserole cheese to the spuds...
Internal temp at 150 so why not sauce it up?
Finished potato's. They were not good. Took on way too much smoke, and the drippings filled up 1/2 the pan so they were greasy as all get out. I like a little bacon flavor as much as the next guy, but this was an artery hardener. And they had a bitter smoke taste. Foil after an hour next time.
But the FattieLoaf was a masterpiece. Perfectly moist, bacon completely cooked, and the BBQ sauce tang was great.
Dinner is served!
