Title: Meatloaf
Post by: javahog2002 on February 24, 2013, 06:45:56 PM

I was not going to let  8" of snow in Longmont stop me from cooking outside.   Picked up a couple 1.25 lb pre seasoned meatloafs from the meat counter at King Soopers ( aka Kroger). Poked a few holes in the bottom of the foil pans.

I replaced the Black SS Performer with the Blue and Burgundy SS Performers.

Fired up the Blue Performer and filled the char baskets.  Added a little foil pack of Weber hickory chips (found these in the 1995 Blue charcoal). Also used  a foil pan between the char baskets to catch the drippings.

I let the Weber run wide open since it was cold outside.  About 1.5 - 2.0 hrs later, I pulled the cooked metaloafs.  Temp was 180-190 which was higher than my target temp of 170. I  did not want any blowing snow to mess up the Maverick 732.  :-\

A nice smoke ring on top of the meatloafs.

It had a good flavor which was not too smokey which is good.  I know from experience that it is very easy to oversmoke a meatloaf.

Great looking grills and meatloaf! I admire your dedication, sir. I think the mail carrier motto should also pertain to those of you in those parts of the country that face the harsh climates.
     Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night....
