Nice job!
We have been doing B/G forever around here. My kids made it a Xmas morning tradition and both were terribly upset when i announced one year that I was going to do a breakfast casserole instead!
Needless to say they got B/G!!
Grands and Mrs. Whites frozen in a pinch but nothing beats...
Used a recipe my wife uses but added a rub seasoning to the loaf prior to putting the bacon on top and a slathering of Sweet baby Rays original. Foil on the bottom was to keep it from sinking into the rack of the smoker. I don't have any of those fancy pans for these yet!

I used 3 pounds of Venison burger 90/10 and 2 pounds of ground chuck 80/20. The sticks have decent flavor and are moist. If you roll a piece between your fingers the fat will squeeze out.
Had 3 trays in the smoker each with their own probe and an additional CC probe along with the smokers probe and therm. CC never got over 170. All the trays stayed within 4 or 5 degrees of each other!

Does the Hot Italian tame the venison? I mixed a batch of snack sticks while I was cooking the meatloaf and just stuffed them today. My fry pan sample was really gamey tasting for some reason!
I appreciate all of the comments and likes! I will absolutely be doing them again. I used about 4 pounds of ground chuck and did 2 loafs. Wrapped one and delivered it to my parents front porch! Hated not getting my hugs but these are trying times! I got 3 phone calls last evening so they must...
