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?"
You'll like this response,
@chuck s , "Actually it looks a little bit too high."
But .,, the questions ceased.
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.
