Have made many, this is my first smoked one.

2 lbs, beef and pork, way more bread crumbs than specified - the meat was really moist - eggs, Lipton Onion Mushroom soup mix, sweet Bay Ray's mustard based BBQ sauce, a couple eggs.

Never had the liquidity problem with meat loaf ever, and I have made this recipe about a zillion times. So I put regular bread crumbs, then panko, then once I ran out of panko I crushed up some crackers. Pro tip for the future: Don't pour the water in until you see how it is shaping up. So I put parchment paper under it on the rack and will trim the edges off before it goes in the PK.

Coated the top with a little Boars' Night Out White Lightning just for fun.

Chimney is working, plan to cook about 300. Any wood suggestions? I have hickory, pecan, cherry and mesquite.

Pecan it is.

Actually I already picked it, but it was the first bag I touched so....

Glad I made a good choice without knowing it. as they say 'even a blind squirrel...' :mrgreen:
 
Waiting - it's at 136 now, the PK humming along about 320. Anticipate eating about 7:30 EDT.

This is my first bag of B&B oak lump and I have to say it is almost all sizable pieces. Maybe a couple handfuls of really small stuff. Pretty pleased. Hope the rest of it is as good.
 
Nice. Pecan and cherry are my favorite woods...both smell like heaven.

I tend to use pecan more for poultry and cherry for beef, pork, and lamb.
 
Looks great! I just started using B&B lump and love it.

Turned out good, but not enough smoke for me. That might be different on the leftovers tomorrow.

That is a very good looking meal! Remember that smoke is a seasoning. If you liked the recipe enough to do it again, add more seasoning next time. :grin:
