Yours has a much more pronounced smoke ring than the one I tried that was wrapped in bacon.

I did a bacon lattice that went around and semi overlapped.

I will have to try it like you did with less bacon and use a few toothpicks so more smoke will make it to the meat.

Looks delicious.

Thanks, it was delicious.

My reasoning for the toothpicks was to keep the un-tucked ends of the bacon from curling up.
I will say, next time I'm cutting the bread crumbs by .5C to only 2C.

Nice meatloaf!  I haven't wrapped one in bacon, that has got to be da-bomb!

That's a great looking meatloaf!

I don't use the bacon weave anymore either, because the inside layer never gets done.

Nice job!

Point!
