Well, it's been awhile since we have done these and it just seemed like the thing to do.

My wife got two smaller pans as I normally use a larger one to do one big loaf. But, this worked out fine and was faster actually and made things easier at the end. As for the pans, this is the method I learned. There are 6 holes in the bottom of each pan for dripping to stay but also to drain if they get to be too much. They start in the pans, then get flipped out later, with a Q sauce and/or any rub applied to both the top and the bottom. They finish at 160 back in the pan.

So, we had a good dinner:

I vac packed one loaf and froze it. We used the leftovers for some sammies. I love horseradish sauce so that's the way I went even with the leftovers:

Thanks for looking. I'm off this weekend, so I figured I'd post up something. My brother has the helm this weekend.
 
Oh, that is a nice plate. The meatloaf looks excellent. I prefer a larger free form loaf, but, there is a reason most restaurants use a loaf pan for meat loaf.
 
Wow I can't believe it, I have had a smoked meatloaf on my mind all week and everyone thinks I am crazy, well that's besides the point. I put one on about an hour ago This one is a bit different than what I usually fix which would normally be an Italian style with a tomato base glaze but it just has celery, onion and onion soup mix with salt, pepper and garlic for seasoning. I plan on making a mushroom gravy to put on it, along with roasted potatoes and carrots. Also picked some snap bean and a turnip from the garden which I will saute with butter and garlic cloves until just crisp and sprinkle with parmigiana cheese. Thanks for letting me share, your's looks great.

We've got smoked meatloaf on the menu for the upcoming week. LOVE smoked meatloaf.

Great job there. Lookin good!
 
Did you use hamburger? my meatlof always looks darker and that looks really good with a nice smoke ring.
 
Good look'n loaves. I made one myself last week end. It had a strange after taste to it that I am assuming was either the onion soup mix I added or this organic no salt seasoning mix. I keep thinking I read something about onion soup mix not working very well in a grill/smoked meat loaf. This was the second ML I made,the first one tasted real good and I didn't use the soup mix in it, any thoughts?

I would have to say it was the salt and not the mix, I used onion soup mix as I always do and the one I cooked yesterday on the smoker was great, also put about a third ground pork in it which I have never done before.
