What else can I smoke?

[Mike Provencher]

Hey all,

I'm making pot roast ala stogie this sunday and i'm looking for suggestions as to what I can cook on the bottom grate. the pot roast should take approx. 8 hours at 240 - 260 degrees at the top grate. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

You can get some snack ideas here - http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/hotdog.html

Also you could cook ribs or a meatloaf among other things.

Hi Matt,

I wanted to do a meatloaf but the cooking temp for the meatloaf is 300-375°F. Since I need to cook the pot roast at 240 - 260, the meatloaf won't work for me.

Now that I think of it, is there any reason why I can't cook a meatloaf on the bottom rack at lower temps than the Meatloaf recipe on the main web page indicates? The recipe calls for 300 - 375 degrees, but if I'm cooking a pot roast at 240 - 260, I'll just end up cooking the meatloaf longer. Any advice/input? Perhaps the meatloaf may be too smoky? Not that I mind that. what do you all think?

Thanks.

Mike

Mike,
I'd do it. I always cook meatloaf at the lower temp. Never had an issue. Just need to make sure it gets to the right temp for ground beef to be well done.

Thanks Clark. That's exactly what I'll do.

Mike, I smoke mine at 275F. 250F wouldn't bother me.

That recipe looks awesome. I'd halve it and freeze a bunch. Thanks for the tip!!

Try making some beef jerkey using Hi Mountain Seasonings and either some Top or Botton Round Roast. Mmmmmm mmmm, tastey.

Next time I'll give beef jerkey a try. This Sunday going with Stogies pot roast on the top rack with meatloaf on the bottom rack. Figure I'll freeze a bunch of the meatloaf and devour the pot roast

I just got the WSM not 2 months ago, and I look forward to every Sunday to smoke. I may need counseling!!
