Decided to smoke a meatloaf on the primo last night. Came out pretty good but next time I'll pull it a little sooner. Let it go to 165 then rest a bit...bet I could pull at 155 and let it rest to hit 165. At any rate still damn tasty...

1lb 80/20
1lb pork
2 tbs minced garlic
2 tbs ketchup
1 tbs Lea' perrins
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup hevy whipin cream
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
Dash of al seasoning (something like slap ya momma, toneys, or your own blend)
Salt to taste if you wish

Shape and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour to hold it's form



Got the grill setup indirect heat at 350 and tossed in 2 small chunks of cherry wood. Next time I'll either put more or use a different one for a little stronger smoke flavor. Didn't want to go too crazy with the first one.



About 1.5hrs later we were at the target temp of 165



After resting about to get nom nom nom

my lazy controller (cyberQ). Has one grill temp probe and 3 meat probes. Hooks to a fan at the lower vent...set to 350 and drink till it beeps...add meat set target temp and drink till it beeps.

I've smoked the Alton Brown meatloaf on a WSM, and it came out really good. Need to do that again.

Meatloaf can drip a lot of fat, so best to have it in a pan or with a drip pan under it. Otherwise, you can get a major fire. Ask my eyebrows.

Yea I put a pan under it for sure...I put a pan for anything I do indirect. It wouldnt start a fire (no fire under it) but it would make a hell of a mess.

At 350 indirect wouldn't most drippings burn as soon as it hits the heat deflector?

Not sure...a quick Google pulls up a bunch of links using HWC in meatloaf.

With out a drip pan it would make a huge mess...you can kinda see whats in it in the pic.

Looks good bro. That's my favorite way to cook a meatloaf. On da pit. I like hickory and/or pecan for smoke flavor.

I had the hickory out and opened and was going to use that but chickened out lol. I have only used cherry and apple so far with great results. Being the first go at the loaf on the pit I decided to go with what I knew. Next time will be hickory more than likely.
