    Glad you had a successful cook. Meatloaf can take on so many different flavors depending on what ingredients you use.  And yes, the BGE works magic with most anything you put on it.  Nice looking egg you have there.

    How do you like the wire pan?
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    I like the pan, the meat had a great smoke flavor. I sprayed it pretty liberally with Pam and it released pretty easily. May buy a second one.

    I've never seen a wire loaf pan like that.  Where did you get it?  Maybe more important question for me would be, what did it take to clean it after the cook?

    I've had that same Brinkman wire loaf basket for years and love it in spite of the clean up chore. What I have found is besides the good spraying of PAM that soaking it overnight in hot soapy water  is the easiest. In the morning a stiff brush will make quick work of the clean up.

    we have skipped the loaf pan altogether.  just form it and put it directly on the grid.  zero clean up.

    @lkapigian that stuffed meatloaf looks great!  There was very little stuck to the basket, one of the rules in our house is whoever cooks doesn't do the cleanup, so I would have to ask the wife to be sure  I will take cooking over dishes any day!
