Felt like a meatloaf night. 350 raised indirect till it hit160. Sides fried okra and mashed potatoes. Didn't get a plated shot because the household was hungry and impatient.

    Good comfort food right there, I would have destroyed that. Did you get some smoke flavor inthe loaf?

    Thanks, @Dobie. Yep, we're all about comfort food here. Not a lot of smoke in this one. I usually like a bit of mesquite, but hubby wanted straight up lump this time. Go figure. It was really good anyway.

    @Dredger That looks great. Meatloaf is something I want to make soon. About how long does it take to cook?

    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...

    You are more than welcome sister. Question if I may. Do you ever make stuffed meat loaf?

    @SciAggie this one finished at a little over an hour. It was made with 2 lbs. of ground beef. If you are going to use 3 lbs., it'll take about an hour and a half. Love that Maverick for constant temp monitoring.

    @SGH, absolutely, but I was running short on time on this one. I often stuff with cheese and refrigerate it for a couple of hours before grilling. I adjust spices depending on whether or not I want an Italian style with oregano, garlic, thyme, and basil then use freshly grated mozzarella to stuff. Nothing better than that with a side of fettuccine Alfredo. If I am going to serve with mashed potatoes, I go with cheddar and different spices. Many good things can be "hidden" in a meatloaf. The more cheese, the better.

    I love Meatloaf. Some many option and ways to go with it. I might try some of this bacon rub I got in the next one I try.

    Oooh got a link for that bacon rub? Sounds great. I used Penzey's Mitchell Street and Fox Point among other things in the mix and dusted with Montreal Seasoning. Meatloaf is really a versatile dish.
