How should the meatloaf be cooked on the top rack of the ECB? (El Cheapo Brinkmann) I'm going to use some bacon with toothpicks on most of the meatloaf. I'm wondering if an aluminum pan with a few drain holes in it can be put on top rack and then put a drip pan underneath on lower rack to catch the draining grease.
I figured between the sausage and bacon , plus burger that there will be much liquids. I don't want to let the loaf stand in all that. I figured that corners with probe size holes would allow some juice to remain to keep moisture around.
Sound like a plan? Probably a Saturday meal.. also am thinking of roasting some beets in foil packs with olive oil on them.

I'll be smoking a meatloaf tonight. I'll post here again with a link to my thread. It's super simple so don't over think it.

A drip pan is probably a good idea if you're using sausage and bacon.

yeah.. thanks. Was gonna use a pan to put it in and let that dribble into another pan below. I don't like meatloaf soaked in grease [emoji]128077[/emoji]

No pan here, I do mine on a jerky rack sitting atop a cookie sheet for drip pan.

Holly Christmas wrapped dinner Bat man!.. lol that looks just like my meatloaf I envisioned in my head.. lol yeah, I don't have a fine mesh rack that type. I was afraid the bacon would stick and droop through the ECB rack.

Nice wrapped loaf CR!

If you chill your loaf in the freezer for 30-45 minutes then put on the Hit grate you'll be fine.

Oh ok.. give it time to cook up outside and not be floppy.. would be nice to get that smoke on the outside without the pan for sure . Get some air flow under it.
