    Q view for meatloaf and chicken breasts

    When I was a kid, I was never a fan of meatloaf, except maybe the singer.  Meatloaf was what my mom did to ground beef and whatever leftovers she found in the fridge.  Green beans, peas, lima beans.... My wife used a legitimate meatloaf recipe and it became acceptable.  I will have a hard time...

    Q view for meatloaf and chicken breasts

    I checked after 3 hours to put sauce on the tops and the smallest one was already at 160*. Here is a picture of it. I sauced the other two and left them on another 45 minutes. I forgot to take a picture of the bigger two. Green beans, baked potato and meatloaf coming up for supper. There goes...

    Q view for meatloaf and chicken breasts

    What a difference a week makes. Last Saturday morning, it was 12* with 8" of snow on the ground in Nashville. Today, it's 65* and I am outside in shorts and a t-shirt. The pics are of bacon covered meatloaf (3 lbs ground chuck + 1 lb sausage) and finishing up smoked chicken breasts on the grill...

    Meat Loaf smoking question

    Wow, the bacon weave looks like a delicious option.  Since the kids are away at school and it's only my wife and me, I divided the 4 lbs of meat into 3 small loaves.  I think I will try the bacon weave on at least one of them.  I just bought a 3 lb package of bacon at GFS and this would be a...

    Meat Loaf smoking question

    That should work.  I have plenty of heavy duty foil.  Did you double it up?

    Meat Loaf smoking question

    This Saturday, I plan to smoke meatloaf for the first time.  Here is my potential problem.  I have an electric Brinkman smoker.  The grill racks are small, round and have a lot of space between the rows on the rack.  I am afraid that the meat will fall between the cracks while it is cooking.  I...

    Thanks.  That info is helpful.  I was able to id the grain once I started cutting.

    My first brisket

    Here is the finished product. This was a small piece of meat-8#'s. It cooked about 10 hours to get to 200 degrees and rested for two hours. The slices from the flat are thin, but the meat is moist and tasty. I waited until it was done to remove the fat. Next time, I will trim fat off first. I...

    My first brisket

    Here is a que view after 6 hours of smoke. I normally don't open the lid, but when I put it on at 2:00 a.m, it was too dark to get a good pic. The temperature was at 164, so I am expecting to hit the stall soon. It is chilly with a little wind this morning, so I have the smoker covered with a...
