Moderators dtel Posted May 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) That sounds like an interesting weekend! I have never heard of smoked meatloaf. If you would be willing to share the recipe, I would be very . I'm sorry to hear about the son-in-law's accident. Is the wheelchair permanent? No not permanently, but a couple of months because of surgery after the accident, he can use crutches but only for a minute to help him get around with, he can not put any pressure on one leg, he will be fine eventually, he's young. I use the same ingredients as if it were going in the oven, It was about 5-6 lbs of ground beef. I added 5 eggs, a container of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs it was a 15 oz size of Progresso brand breadcrumbs. I like that brand because it has a good flavor but any good Italian breadcrumbs would work. I use a good bit (never measure this) of granulated garlic, onion and a little seasoning salt, a little cayenne and black pepper. I have to go light on the pepper if I am not sure if guest like spicy. I smoke it at about 225 until the inside of the meatloaf is at about 160 which is about medium well, I like it a little more rare myself. After a big mistake the first time of trying to place the meat on the smoker grate, now use aluminum foil. I take a flat baking pan and put foil on it and shape the meatloaf on it, I tilt the pan a little and slide the foil off onto the smoker, when done I just lift one end of the foil up and slide it back on a different pan with short sides so any liquid doesn't run everywhere. When smoking I like to poke a few small holes in the foil around the meatloaf and let some of the fat drain off. I used the granulated spices because some people freak if they get a piece of onion or garlic. If you like onions you can even slice bunch up and put them on top the meatloaf while smoking, I like it but not everyone does, more of the onion flavor is not a bad thing to me. I didn't put any kind of glaze on the meatloaf but that could be almost anything you like. Edited May 12, 2015 by dtel 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2015 At my son's baseball game and it's 50 degrees, and windy. Yes coffee is in order. Sounds like everyone is keeping busy. Hope everyone had a good mothers day. We celebrated my son's bday yesterday along side of mothers day. I smoked a ham, pork shoulder, and beans. I used my ugly drum smoker for the first time. Let's just I don't plan on going back to any other smoker. These things work great. Well cheers to you all and have a good one. Your right they work great, I made one for a nephew and before I gave it to him I tried it once. I liked it so much I found a drum to make another but never did. It was easy to use and really held a steady temp for a long time once adjusted, I can see why people like them so much. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Morning gang Up a little early, second cup done and going for the third. Online Ordering from Grainger of all places, some Carlon fittings for the farm panel project. Used to buy most everything between Lowes and the Depot, big conduit fittings are now online ONLY and it takes them a week to ship them to a local store, what BS. I just happen to have a Grainger one mile from me, done, on will call p/u today! They say rain is coming we shall see. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Morning gang.... 2nd cup well under way....getting ready to roll to the shop... Got me a bad case of the pink-eye....oh it's no good, I can hardly see out of my left eye....this does suck!! Got it from my drandoughter and it's been going around the house. Everyone was getting over it then I started yesterday with it... Yea Mark Graninger has a lot of stuff but you pay $$$ for it.....About a month ago my shop air compressor would not turn on....the motor would hummm but would not kick on... I found a bad start capacitor it blew apart. I found the caps on line for $10 -$15 bucks but it was at least two days with shipping. Well I found my local grainger store had one and it was a good bit more.....like $50 bucks..had no choice......I need a compressor....oh well....if that's the worst thing that happens at the shop this year....I'm good to go.. Alright guys gotta roll...a great day to all.... MKP :-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Today is the first batch of new cheap Aldi beans. Trying the donut house blend this time (the other choice is morning roast). It's nothing to rave about but certainly pleasant enough. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly jealous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No I suspect central American by the taste. 100% arabica at least. I do drink the 100% Kona in Hawaii a lot though. Locally on sale you can get a 7 ounce bag for $7.99. The really special stuff which is seasonal and relatively scarce is the Kona peaberry. I love those beans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Coffee done. Met another old geezer for breakfast and had some carbs with my bacon and eggs. Have an annuity with Wells Fargo. Deposits to my account are scheduled for the 9th of each month. They have yet to make the deposit on time. Today is the 12th.....still not deposited. If I were to write a bad check you can bet they would have their hand out. Think they may be using interest from my account and others for their benefit? Getting pi$$ed. LF flying in today And those beans love you oldtimer! Cheers Ladies and Gents 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an undeclared bag ever stowed away in your luggage, I'd certainly pay to help get rid of the evidence for you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
