Something I have never had on my grill

[Braz]

We did a smoked meatloaf a couple years ago we haven't made one in the oven since. We do two at a time since meatloaf freezes well in meal or individual sized portions.

Nice! We made three meatloaves yesterday and froze two. My favorite food to smoke on Qmatz.

looks great! I like mine with a bacon weave wrapping. But I see you have cheese inside?! I looks killer!!! I will be adding cheese to the next meatloaf logs!

Have not smoked one either but plan to. I plan to try Marianski's method and it calls for cure and other things. CONGRATS on the ride! LIKE

Looks really good! Someday I will have to give that a try.

So someone explain the difference between a fatty and a meat loaf log onda smoker????

Looks good...I'd eat that.

a fatty is made with seasoned pork sausage with no filler material, and meat loaf is ground beef with filler/binder (eggs and crackers/bread crumbs) added?

Thanks for the reply... Is this the only difference?

from my experience, you can doctor the hell out of a meatloaf just as you can a fatty. meatloaf often has its chunks mixed throughout the blob of meat while a fatty is usually wrapped around a core of the chunky stuffs.

fatty = meat twinkie
meatloaf = meat fruitcake

meatloaf = meat fruitcake

LOL!!! Nice analogy!!!

a fatty is wrapped in a bacon weave before cooking.

It's all in the prep.
With fattys, ground meat (usually sausage) is rolled out with a rolling pin (like pie dough, sort of)
Toppings are piled on top and the whole thing gets rolledi up into a log and wrapped in bacon...
That's a very simplistic explination and there are various techniques for "building a fatty" but that is the gist...
With meatloaf ingredients usually just get mixed in with the ground meat and the mixture is formed into a loaf or log...there's no "rolling out the meat like pie dough" process in making a meatloaf.

Wow now THIS is a cool idea. Never would have thought to do it but I'm definitely going to make it happen now. Looks like it turned out great!

not necessarily... its still a fatty without the bacon wrap. its just a nekkid fatty at that point.

from my days over at the bbq brethren... a fatty doesnt need to be stuffed, some guys just smoke a chub of jimmy deans with a rub on it and I guess that meets minimum standards. (bare minimum IMO)
