How should I cook this?

Kustrud

Indirect?  Temp?  Internal temp?  Tips please!  Cooking tonight.

I'd take it out of that and onto a wire rack or big veggie basket and cook indirect 375-400. Maybe glaze with BBQ sauce.  Cook to 160

indirect, maybe 30 degrees higher dome temp than the directions on the package

+1 on the above comments but would also wrap in bacon with a basket weave type...I have done that and it is AWESOME!

theyolksonyou

Yep, bacon would be better. 

Kustrud

Gotcha, so take it out of the container its in?  I don't know if I have a wrack of any kind.....

MrCookingNurse

just put it on a piece of tinfoil on the grate, indirect 350ish till hits 160.  I do 150 but don't want to kill you and I use my own beef or deer.  never seen a store bought loaf like that..  pretty neat. good luck!

Indirect at 400 or so. If you do the bacon weave you can make a "fatty" and then no need for the pan. You could use the pan as a drip pan down on your indirect stone for easier cleanup.

Ok gotcha, so definitely take it out of the pan, use plate setter, and maybe a piece of foil under it?  Cook at 400 to 160 - good to go?  And Ill take pics of course!

make a trench in the top of it first, stuff with cheese and other healthy things then close it back up

I personally would probably just cook it in the pan it came in on the egg...but I'm lazy. 

Generally speaking you can set up the egg for indirect and just follow the instructions (treat the egg like an oven).  I agree though the grid temp is usually lower than dome temp, so you may want to bump it up or plan to cook a little longer.

OK - to take out of pan or not to take out of pan?? :-)

How about combining several container ideas?  Open up the pan that it's in by spreading the corners back out.  It will allow more surface area for smoke and not cause any mess trying to move the meatloaf from one pan to another.

Somebody had to.

I'm sure it'll be good either way. My concern with leaving it in the pan is that the grease would pool rather than render.  Fat in the food is good, food swimming in fat is not so good to me.  But, either way I'd put some smoke on it. 

Kustrud

Almost done!!

I agree on the bacon.  Bacon makes everything better -- just witness the movies of Mr. Kevin Bacon.
