    that's a big-un. wow.

    i remember the moment i realized not everyone made meat loaf in a pyrex dish> haha since then, nothing but a panless meatloaf will do.

    never done it low-n-slow like yours (usually go 325-375).  will give your way a try.

    Awesome.  Smoked meatloaf is one of my favorite things in the egg.  Also, those sammichs the next couple of days will really be great.

    just made one tonite....it was so good i don't know what to say....had visitors and now they want to come for every BGE cook....this is truly an addictive meal....i would say the sandwiches would be out  of this world but don't think there will be any leftovers to try....

    Looks very good I will try low and slow too.  I enjoy taking my time and watching the smoke, relaxing and sipping on a beverage...  Way better than watching paint dry.

    Great looking meatloaf. Seems like its been a meatloaf week. I've seen quite a few across different BBQ forums this week. Think I'll add some cheese into mine next time.

    It's in the frig now, this will be the longest thing I have ever cooked. I'm new at this as you can tell.I love my egg , I must go through a 40 # bag a week. My wife loves it to, maybe because I'm outside alot. Thanks again.

    Let us know how it turns out. Be sure to use a thermometer to monitor internal temp, do not want to over cook, 160 degree came out nice and juicy after a 10 min. rest.

    When they said to use a loaf pan to shape it, don't forget to line with plastic wrap, to make your life easy.

    The pam worked good next time I will try plastic wrap. That was the good part. I think I have to ck my thermometer tomorrow, it never read over 275. After 2 hours I had to take a look, real dark, uh oh. Put the thermapen in it was @210. Even though it was a little dry it tasted grate. I will get this down.

    Ellis,

        I will assume you cooked
    indirect? The old saying is "It's done when It's done" is what happened to you.
    The internal temp, not time, is what tells you when it is done. You REALLY need
    a thermometer to monitor the internal temp of the item you are cooking. I use my
    Thermapen to check the item when my monitoring thermometer gets close to my
    target temp. I have a Maverick ET-732 which monitors both grate and item temps,
    two probes. The 732 is the latest from Maverick and is also remote up to 300
    feet with alerts etc.
