    if you ever make one of these.... you will throw rocks at a pyrex dish or loaf pan style meat loaf.  At 160 degree's the moistness and flavor are perfect....as i was told earlier, make 2 ... 1 to eat now and 1 for sandwiches

    I just took of the thermomter off the egg stuck the prob in boiling water it came in around 100, so it's off by at lest 112. So for all the time it was cooking at 360 no wonder it was over done. I guess what I need now is a new theromoeter for the dome and a Maverick. Thanks

    @Ellis, you're sure it's reading Fahrenheit?

    VanDog38 may have the answer. You may be reading the C scale not the F scale which is on the outside.?????

    I don't think VanDog was joking.  100 degrees C = 212 degrees F . I can't imagine any thermometer being 100 degrees off, but possible.

    I'm sure I didn't keep the thermometor in the water for 3 mim. I'm going to do it again this afternoon when I return. The thermometor was replaced about 6 mo. ago. Thanks

    Smoked meatloaf at 260 degree
    between 3 and 4 hours. Internal temperature 160 degrees, melt in your mouth
    flavor.
    That looks good, going to make one today.

    Really like what you are using to place the meatloaf on. Is it setting on a large egg? Would like purchase info on it.
    Thanks

    Onelikearock,
    The vegetable WOK was given to me a couple of years ago, but I think the same item is for sale on Amazon  . Yes it is on my large BGE sitting on my homemade adjustable rack.

    For what its worth, the two loaves I've made I molded with my hands and room-temperature meat, didn't refrigerate them to firm them up at all; no problems.  One was cooked in an aluminum tray, the other on the CI grid (flat side up).

    @Botch Did you find any benefit to using a CI grid? Just curious.

    we had left overs last night....the meat loaf was as good warmed as the first go round....smokey flavor is what set's this dish off from any other way of fixing meat loaf...is there a meat loaf meeting you can go to when you get hooked to help with your problem???

    Here is the tricky part.. Weather today 95+ in the sun. I did move the egg into the shade and it dropped 5-10 degrees in less than a min.  Keeping the grill at 260 means almost keeping both bottom and dw shut all the way down and not getting much smoke from the chips.. it did smoke for about 20 mins, but now nothing for last 30 mins. 

    any tips on how to get constant smoke at low n slow? at least for an hour or 2.

    thx

    Step out and sniff next to your DW - if you can smell smoke, so can your food. It doesn't have to be visible to be effective.

    Maybe this was answered already, but is this cooked direct or indirect?
