Smokin' 75 (Smokey The Meatloaf)

At the official 3/4 mark of this project, I wanted to try something new to mark the occasion. So I tried out the indoor smoker that got for my birthday.
With a 3lb mix including two cuts of beef and pork, this meatloaf will feed a crowd. This book has been strong when the recipes are takes on classic American dishes, so I was not worried about flavor. The only real question was how the experiment with the smoker would turn out.

Into the Oven

The answer is that I didn't master dry smoking on the first try, the flavor of the meatloaf was fine, but not majorly smoke infused. I'm sure if I'd used a traditional smoker it would have had a more smokey flavor, and if I try this again I'll add more liquid to encourage the wood chips to generate a bit more smoke.

Meatloaf: Tasty? Yes. Pretty? No

Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? I would like to try this again, but it will be awhile. 3lbs is a lot of meatloaf for my small household, and with a 2+ hour cooking time (low and slow is the mantra) it can't be whipped up casually.
