I had never thought about smoking a pizza until I saw SmokinAl's signature. Since then I have wanted to smoke a pizza. I figured since the pizza would not take long why not smoke a meat loaf also.

Here is the pizza pre cheese. I used a premade crust as my base and Ragu sauteed onions as my sauce. Added peperonis, bacon, red bellpepper, and PP from a prior smoke. Forgot to add the sun-dried tomatoes.

Here is a pic after the Mozz and Pamasen. I like a little pizza on my cheese.

I started working on the meatloaf after I put the pizza on the smoker.

I spent a little longer making the meat loaf than I intended so the pizza was a little more done than I wanted but was still pretty good.

I rushed a little on the meatloaf and forgot to add the red bellpepper and onion and garlic powder and forgot to buy onions when I was at the store. Addded oatmeal 4lbs 93% and 4 lbs 76% lean and bacon, eggs, ketchup and pic-a-peppa sauce (tastes like a mixture of A1 and wostershire sauce with a little added heat. It's made in Jameca). I wanted to add ground pork but the store was out. I needed to add more oatmeal to it in retrospect because it was real dense. I had bought some panko bread crumbs to try but with my mom's allergies thought i'd try them later.

I portioned it out into 3 loafs, next time with the same amount I'll probably make 4.

The one on the right was for my mom and slightly smaller so I put it farthest from the heat. They were all done in about 4 hours.

And had a nice smoke ring.

Sunday night was 2 pieces of bread,1 slab of meatloaf, some cheese, a little Pic-A-Peppa and  it was goooood eatin.

This was a learning experience. I deviated from my normal modified minion method and ended up with more white smoke then I normally get. I also used apple chips instead of hickory chunks and got more white smoke at first also.

End result.....good eatin.......and deeper into my new addiction

Now that sounds good! A meatloaf pizza!

Everything looks delicious! The meatloaf is fabulous, great smoke ring!
 
Also, how often do you calibrate your temp probes? I was under the impression that you checked them every now and than. But after researching food safety here it seemed like one person checked theirs before every smoke.
 
I also bought a pair of thick PVC gloves for pulling the cooked meat off the smoker. Is this wise or will they melt. The seemed to work ok with the meat loaf.
 
The gloves are perfect for handling food, a lot easier than tongs, you wouldn't want to use them for handling hot metal or charcoal. I use welding gloves for that.

I was right. I put a six inch sub roll opened under the broiler in the oven and added two pieces of bacon. Allowed it to heat for a minute then added 2 slices each of cheddar and provolone. I let the cheese melt than added  a slab of meat loaf and some pic-a-peppa. Good eatin.

As I was eating it last night it finally occured to me that it did not have the bark on it like it does when it's cooked in the oven at a higher temperature. I did make a lot larger batch than normal so the amount of my other ingredients was off also and probably did not have as much sugar from the ketchup. i guess next time i'll need to brush with honey or spray with some juice.
