Not much to report or show here except to say it was a success. I like successes.
Took inspiration from
@dgodwin 's similar cookup the other day, http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/bbq-food-pics/meatloaf-muffins/ and also applied
@austin87 's suggestion to let them sit awhile in the fridge first. We formed them in small rectangular foil pans then moved to a cookie sheet for transport. I wrapped bacon around them at that time.
By the time they reached the grill they had rounded but held together OK. Flipping required the assistance of a fork held to the opposite end of each to act as a pusher while the spatula picked them up.
So my dad questioned how this was going to work ... how would I keep the hamburger from getting black on the bottom and raw in the middle ... wondered if the kettle could be setup "like an oven" ... (pause for effect) so I once again explained about indirect cooking.
"Now you know ... meatloaf
should be cooked at 350."
"This OK, dad?"

Not a great pic but the meatloaf was a hit. The potatoes were Monday's red potatoes leftover, mashed up and reheated on the grill.

That will work!
Thanks for the enjoyable post. I wish I was able to have cooked more with my father. I'll definitely try wrapping in bacon the next time I make meatloaf.

I think you needed to tell him that you calibrated the gauge is off by 12.5 degrees!!
Other than that....Nice job pal....
Man ATS, seems like a great weekend of grilling!
Sweet kettle and plated shots, both look great!
Killer photo of the kettle !!!!!
The loafs are "I'll take a swan dive into that!!!" quality..... ;D 8) 8) 8)
Even on Day 2, my dad said they were great leftovers. I thought they were pretty good but not sure stellar. It's' ground beef!
As he was mixing the stuff I tossed in a coffee pod ... "What recipe are you following?"
"Recipe?
Great looking meal there!
