We are having some friends over today for dinner soooo...............I thought that's a good enough reason to fire up the smoker again right!?

I am going to smoke a meatloaf using ground sirloin and pork sausage.

Homemade mac and cheese

Homemade buttermilk biscuits

Attempt number 2 for homemade peach cobbler....last weeks attempt at this FLOPPED.

wish i was your friend.....sounds like a great meal. actually have relatives in irving, maybe they could come over?

[Xplorer]

Well with light snow coming down as I type, I 've decided to go

With baked buffalo wings and celery sticks/bleu cheese dressing. For starters

It will be chilled shrimp. Simple but the whole family loves it

Thought about doing a sirloin roast on the rotisserie but tough to control the temps

In this wearher

Felt like a chili day, so that's what I'm cooking. No smoker involved, unfortunately.

pork chops browned and then baked in beefy mushroom sauce with rice and asperagus with melted butter. good luck.

2 bananas and a ham and cheese sandwich

It all turned out really good. I can't believe how good meatloaf is smoked.....what unbelievable amount of flavor you get....the meat just soaks up the smoke and I had everything in the kitchen thrown into the meat....very tasty! I will post pics tonight when I get home

Looks great Doop. What temp, what wood, and how long on the meatloaf?

[Doop]

Temp stayed steady at 250*

When I had the lid off to baste it would spike to 300*. I used a basic beer mop and mopped every 40 minutes or so. It only took about 3 hours to smoke...I just went by appearance on the outside...when it was nice and crusty I took it off. Let it rest for 10 minutes and cut into it.

I used hickory and lump charcoal.

The friends that were supposed to come over backed out....YEAH....more leftovers for me! It's hard to beat a cold meatloaf sammich!
