    So, as far as thermometers, what's your recommendation? 
    I have been real pleased with the Thermopen. Thus far, it has never failed me. Many here use it as well.

  • Thanks @SGH. I don't have any oak so I'm gonna go with a little bit of cherry.

  • Made this for Super Bowl.  Followed the recipe exactly except hickory instead of oak. Everyone did not just like, but LOVED it.  Thank you for the recipe.

    I'm glad to hear it brother. It's usually a hit. Simple, cheap and delicious.

  • It went over like a champ and my coworkers were loving the leftovers too. Came out with a nice smoke ring but......I was too busy eating to take that pic.

  • Didn't get a pic of it, but it was very good. Our Wegman's didn't have the "hot" Jimmy Dean, so I doubled up on the regular kind. Added an additional green onion, used the Ritz, and hit the top of it with smoked salt and pepper. Put it in a meatloaf tray and smoked it on the Egg. Outstanding - everyone loved it.

    Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. The JD Hot gives it just the right amount of kick. If you get the chance, give it a try with the hot one day. I think that you will be well pleased.

  • Oh, I know I will! We have little kids and Europeans eating this, though, so I played it safe. I hit my own piece with some Habanero Death Dust from Oakridge BBQ just to experience the kick - many thanks, SGH.

    Brother I bet that is awesome. I make both the sausage loaf and stuffed mushrooms on a regular basis, but I have never used the loaf to stuff the shroons. Going to give that a try. Yours look insane my friend.

    I just tried the original recipe for the meatloaf last night. It was outstanding. Had no idea Ritz crackers would work as bread crumbs. Thanks SGH. [wife even raved over it and wants me to cook it again]

    Glad that you enjoyed it my friend. I chose to post the version that I did because it is very simply and yet still delicious. There is almost no messing up the basic recipe short of over cooking it. Again, glad to hear that y'all enjoyed it my friend. I have a couple of different versions that I'm going to post when time allows.

    Thanks for posting it. I'm 55 and remember my Grandma cooking and improvising. She used to crush cheez-it crackers and coat chicken legs and wings with that after dipping in scrambled eggs. Instead of bread crumbs. Was amazing. May try this with crushed cheez-its actually.

    Question my friend, did you ever try it with the cheez-it's? If so, how was it? What made me ask is I'm going to try a littke different version of this recipe tonight just to see how it compares to the original.

    Fellows, I'm going to share something here that is cheap, easy to make, cooks fast, and simply is in a league of its own. It doesn't sound that great, but just try it. I give you my word that you will be more than impressed. Trust me on this one my friends.
    Ingriedants:
    1 Raw Egg.
    1 Green Onion chopped. 
    1 Bell Pepper chopped.
    1 Sleeve of Ritz Crackers crushed into dust.
    1 Roll of Jimmy Dean Original.
    1 Roll of Jimmy Dean Hot. 
    1 Pack of shredded Cheddar Cheese.
    Combine all of the above and mix very well. Form into a loaf and cook indirect over oak at 325-375 degrees until a internal temp of 155 degrees. To say that this is spectacular is a understatement my friends. Hope that y'all enjoy it as much as we do. 









    Yall got to try this one fellows. 
    Was this a single green onion or a small bunch? I'm about to light the Egg and make this. Using a Poblano instead of a bell pepper.

  • To late it,s in the Egg.
  • It took me a while. I only started the medium in 2 places and didn't clean the old ashes out first. Probably put the platesetter in a bit too early also. I used a small handful of apple chips.
