Gimme some smashed taters on the side with corn, and I'm there! One of my FAVORITE smoked foods!

Thanks, guys...

Actually it's really simple. Make your favorite meatloaf recipe. Shape it the way you want. Poke some holes in a foil pizza pan so the loaf don't sit in its own fat.

Smoke at 300 - 350 until the loaf gets to 100 internal. Then score the top and glaze. Cook until it gets to 165. Usually done in under 6 beers... er, I mean 2 hours.

I always mix in some Texas BBQ Rub when I make the loaf. This time I used Brisket Blend. TPJ and Head Country went into the glaze.

Careful not to over smoke. Ground meat soaks up smoke like a sponge.

I just smoke it right on the grate and finish it with a BBQ sauce/Pineapple Hab glaze!

Dang that looks good. I put them in an aluminum loaf pan till they cook up some then dump them onto the grate, seems to help them hold their shape.

Agreed on the smoke soaking ability of ground beef. One of the first ones I did I used oak and it was almost inedible. Actually it was inedible. Now I stick with apple or cherry.

Woody:

Doing them on the grate is ok, but I just prefer the ease moving the meatloaf around, not to mention zero cleanup.

Hoosier:

I used cherry wood on this meatloaf
