Sweet Heat Smoked Meatloaf!

This was one of our first recipes on the website back in 2020 and it still stands up!

Perfect for a fall day:

Here is a breakdown of the action:

The Ingredients

1/3 Cup plain breadcrumbs
1 Cup Milk
3 Tablespoons onion, chopped
2 Tablespoons Fire For Effect Sweet Heat Rub
2 eggs, beaten
2 Pound Ground Beef
1/3 Pound mild Italian ground sausage
½ - 1 Cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

Approx. Time 15 min prep, 2-2.5 hours cooking time

Variations: Try apple or cherry wood for a fruitier flavor. Make your own BBQ sauce

The Process

Get the coals ready (check out our blog on how to use a charcoal grill for help with the set up) and get the smoker to 225° F

Prepare the meatloaf while the smoker is getting up to temp.

Combine breadcrumbs, milk, onion, and Fire For Effect. Add beaten eggs. Add both ground beef and ground sausage, mix well. Form mixture into a loaf, packing tightly.

Transfer the meatloaf to a wire rack and chill in the refrigerator until the smoker is ready

Once the smoker reaches 225°F, transfer the wire rack to the smoker (place the tinfoil pan under the grates to catch any falling juices).

Throw a handful of wood chips on for smoke. Cook for 2-2.5 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160° F, replenish coals and wood chips as necessary (about every 45-60mins)

For the glaze: use your homemade or favorite store bought BBQ sauce and glaze the meatloaf during the last 20 minutes of cooking.

Let the meatloaf rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing! Enjoy!
