I've made this a half dozen times and Makin it today for the game. Ground beef pork and Italian sausage. Most of the rest. Plowboys yardbird rub. Turns out INCREDIBLE! My favorite go to..... One to eat for dinner. One for sandwiches.

Made this for dinner last night, it was fantastic! Thanks for the videos!

As a personal taster (lucky me!) this seriously was an awesome meatloaf. We’ve made quite a few in our day, but this one blew them all away!

"Pitmaster's privledge". Love it. It is indeed sir.

I have never seen a meatloaf mix but I love that. I know that would make it more flavorful than just a beef mix. This is one of the best meatloaf recipes in have ever seen ! So much flavor. I am a huge fan of big pieces of peppers/onions in the meatloaf. Looks so delicious! :)

I love how you put the ingredients into it . When smoking we let the rub sit to “penetrate “ the meat . Doing it this way let it go into it . Then the fresh ingredients that complimented the seasonings inside is straight Flavor ! Good my man. Keep it up, keep learning , and keep recording ! You’ve got a fan in me . Cheers !

That pecan rub is magic! Great looking meatloaf!

Made this for dinner tonight.....it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe. My family really enjoyed the meatloaf

LOVE smoked meatloaf!!!

Awesome video! I have never been a big meatloaf fan myself but this recipe has peeked my interest. Looks amazing!

That’s a good looking meatloaf Mike! The meatloaf mix is pretty cool, never seen one at the store. That end piece for sure!! Have a great weekend brother!

Here I am, sitting at work, Hungry, wishing I had a smoker lol! Looks good

Love your work mate

Im trying a meatloaf tonight for dinner so we will see how my dinner is tonight Thanks for your video's

That turned out nice! I love smoked meatloaf cold the next day!

I love smoked meatloaf, I use a jerky rack versus the foil wrapped racks.

Two pounds of beef and one pound of breakfast sausage on my camp chef and it just sails. We have a slaughterhouse nearby but not much in the way of fancy grocery stores. A bit of breadcrumbs and heavy black pepper. I make meatloaf so manly I had to shave my daughter’s back before I sent her back to her mom.

@weekend warrior bbq . Use a cooling grate on top of a 2in deep tin to cook on. It allows smoke to get all the way around and all mess is contained in the throw away tin.

looks amazing

Giant eagle. You must be from PA.... me too.... Erie though. Still snowing here pooooo

Love the videos bud ,just got my VPB for Christmas and its amazing been watching all your video and cant wait to try some of the different techniques ... #TheSmokeRingKing

Wow! That was really juicy Mike. The spider was.....far from home (ba-dump!) I mix stuff much like you do and it's rare. A lot of people put the egg and veggies and seasonings on top and then mix. That just never seemed like a person could possibly get it thoroughly mixed unless you mixed it a long time and overworked the meat, making it too solid when done. I thought I was alone in mixing everything first then putting it into the meat. Anywho I have smoked meatloaf before just never filmed it. I have not been happy with any of the attempts yet. Still working on it. But this might be the next thing I film. Good video.

Oh man, great minds, right? Lookin' good. I'll trade mine for yours :)

Look's awesome.

Yummm!!!! 😋😋😋😋

That looks nice!

gonna try your recipe minus the jalapeno peppers, but add some precooked diced bacon with some of the bacon grease for added favor.

Good stuff! I might try this next

would it help to wrap it in plastic and put it in the fridge for a little bit after you put the rubs on?

Have you done beef jerky ? Would you use water on that ?

looks so delicious

Ouch brother ! You feel that thumb right away ? the best part of a meatloaf feed to me is the sandwiches on the next day... with lotsa mustard, look out ! Great days to you and crew Mike !

Love it! those are Texas cut slices btw :)

I’m making this for dinner tomorrow

Have you done anything without water in the pan ?

Where do you get the meatloaf mix from? Whst supermarket?

I did kinda this on my Weber, it was great!

Is there any meat flavor, all seasoning

What flavor pellets did you use with this?

I can tell your a malcom Reed fan. You do a lot of stuff he does in his videos.

Set meatloaf on rack and add maple and brown sugar oatmeal when mixing ,maybe Add bbq sauce while mixing . That's how I make mine

over-smoked ? Lots of questions. can you control the amount of pellets, when you use the pit boss ? I have had meat that is smoked too much. over powered with a bad taste. I would like a little of the smoke flavor for the first hour or so, and then just heat only, for the next 6 or so hours. I am thinking of purchasing one. Also, are the wood pellets readily available? Like lowes, home depot, tractor supply and wal mart. Where is the best place to buy bulk hardwood pellets that are used in smokers? Are they the same hardwood pellets that people use to heat there houses with ? Thanks you for your responses. I'm 99.9% ready to pull the trigger on a pit boss before their all gone this christmas, jc

Eager to see some smoked salsa 😏

Hi Mike, could you have put a foil tray underneath the meatloaf?.

Love the video! Love the recipe too, but I need some help! I made this meatloaf in my pit boss vertical smoker. I followed your video almost exactly, just used a different rub. I checked it periodically and got it up to 170 in the center. I went inside and started eating. Delicious! My wife got a piece from the middle and it was rather pink on top. But the bottom was well done. I thought, it’s the smoke ring, but it looked like the meat was undercooked. Am I crazy? Please help Mike!

Can I cook this in an oven and can I divide the ingredients in half because I live by myself so that would be a lot of meatloaf for myself.

What’s your favorite smoked meat loaf recipe that you do? I’m looking to do my first. What do you recommend for me? Thank you.

Saw a video earlier they used crushed bbq potato chips instead of bread crumbs 😱

👏👏👏👏👏

Let me know how to collaborate if you want to, I’m on a timeframe but I’d gladly buy the meat but get some of that corporate sponsorship.

Hey my man what kind of probe do you have? The one that let's you check temps from your phone.

Did you have water in your pan ?

Hey there Buckeye. Wonder what happened to you. What brand is your hand held temp probe? Need to put your measurements down for a dummy like me.

Looks like a fruit cake, but for men, lol. Just recently discovered your channel, huge fan and great content, Smoke on brother!

Looks like good recipe. Yet...Another commercial for some company's rub. Why not just make your own?

When are you going to see a smoked pizza?

Try crushed crackers instead of bread crumbs

Who in the hell uses “meatloaf mix”...🤣🤣 This guy is a clown.
