Well, here are some pics of my first smoked meatloaf. I ran into some "learning moments", but it wasnt too bad for a first go.
Learned - my favorite meatloaf recipe is NOT very smoker friendly. It calls for the pan to be lined with sauce, and meatloaf into pan and sauced again, then cooked.
Well, the pan keeps tons of juices from exiting and the meatloaf comes out super moist. Well, the meatloaf didnt come out "dry"... but it was definitely more dense than usual. I had variables: the lady made the mix the night before (not good in my eyes), it could have been over-handled, they could have been too packed too tightly.
Less salt than before... I almost never cook with salt.
The flavors were great... Cant wait to try again.
