Looks great to me. I am planning to do my first meatloaf this week since I am off all week. I love meatloaf and it can only be better after smoked.

 

[rbranstner]

Did you put the meatloaf in a pan like you would in the oven?

Did you still get the nice smoke taste in it???????????/

 

[codymcgee]

i smoked it for in hour on foil then slid it off the foil for the remainder of the smoke. def had a light smoky flavor but i only used two handfuls of apple chips because i was out. i think the apple was too light for the beef

 

[scpatterson]

Would think the apple was a little light but sounds like you had a winner...Try some Hichory next time...

Congrats on your smoke!

My wife asked me to make a meatloaf in the oven the other night. I told her I'll never make another meatloaf in the oven again. They're just too darned good on the smoker.

do you just make a meatloaf like for the oven or do you add more bread crumbs or filler to make it firmer?

We have yet to make a meatloaf in the oven sinces we made in the smoker. It's really that good too.

 

[pandemonium]

When you smoke a meatloaf do you wrap it after awhile so it doesn't take on too much smoke?

 

[codymcgee]

no just cook to 160

Got Jeffs recipe from the web site.. I thought I saw previous pictures cooking straight on the racks. Web site shows cooking in shallow pan.
Anyone shed any light on this for me.. can wait to try.

I just used some double foil as a pan to keep the loafs from coming apart when tryin to put it on the rack..after it cooked for about an hour and got a little firm i slid it off onto the rack to get better smoke penetration. but I think you'd be safe leaving it on the pan because ground beef absorbs smoke pretty well.
