Smoked Meatloaf

Been dying to try a smoked meatloaf so I made two tonight. One is 3.5 lbs of ground and 1/2 lb of sausage and the other is 4 lbs of ground with a maple syrup glazed ham, mushroom and provolone chees stuffing. They were smoked with maple wood and have a bbq, ketchup and honey glaze.

This one is the one with sausage

This is with the stuffing in it.

Smoked Streak

Today was the first try at a good steak.

Went to Costco and bought 4 1+ inch thick Ribeye steaks. I drizzled olive oil and rubbed around, then put a nice layer of magic dust and then topped them with Montreal Steak seasoning and rubbed and patted everything. I wrapped them in cling rap for 1.5 hours.

I put them on the smoker at 225 starting with an internal temp of 45. At 70 I flipped them and pulled them off at 90 degrees internally. I then transferred them to the gas grill and seared the first side for 1 minute and flipped them over doing the crosshatch and left until 115. At that point, turned over and cross hatched and left on until 135. Pulled them, let them sit in a dish with a foil tent and served. The pics were not that good as my good digi had a dead battery but the center was bright bright pink all the way through. I smoked them with applewood and the flavor was awesome. All in all they were only smoked 45 minutes then grilled the rest so there was a nice hint of the smoke but not overpowering so you could really taste the spices. Also, by far the juicest steaks I have ever made.

Lets just say we all agreed that there is no place around here that can top this steak. I have tried Mortons Steak house and all the local chains and I will put these up against them any day.

Smoked Jack Daniel Glazed Ribs

My first try at ribs...came out fantastic

St. Louis style cut and then smathered with mustard. I then sprinkled a rub on them and into the fridge overnight.

Ribs were cooked for 3 hours, being basted every 1/2 hour. Then they were put in foil for 1 hour and then back on the smoker for the final hour, being basted every 15 minutes.
