    First Meatloaf

    Good idea - I've never heard of using quinoa or rice as a binder. I'll give that a try next time.

    First Meatloaf

    So I gave a meatloaf a try tonight. Smoked it at around 250 for about 90 minutes, then finished it off in the oven at 450 for a few minutes to crisp up the bacon. Cooked it to an internal temp of 163. Not the best meatloaf I've ever made, but the first one I ever smoked. I have to say, after...

    Hello and thanks, from Austin, Texas

    Well, dinner took a bit longer that expected (doesn't it always). I knew I was pushing it by trying to do it tonight, but couldn't resist. I think the probe may have been in an air pocket instead of in the meat. Pulled it at 165 but when I checked it with the thermapen it was registering much...
