Kosmo's Q what about cheese stuff or in center have you tried this. Need a pro tip

[@lilg0126]

How do you like that master built grill??

[@timusmcman]

Thanks for the great recipe! I made mine last week, froze em, and cooked them up last night for the fam. BIG HIT. I let them defrost an hour out of the pans. On my Green Mountain pellet grill set at 285, mine took 2.5 hours to get to 165 degrees inside. I smoked them on a mesh cooling rack set in a cookie sheet and was amazed at how little juices were lost. Thanks again K!!

[@chrislangholf9942]

Just gotta throw this out there. I made this recipe yesterday. Followed it to the letter, bought the BBQ sauce and rub. This turned out amazing. Everyone over ate and the first words out of my wife’s mouth this morning were “that meatloaf was amazing”. Thank you very much.

[@AdamRapier]

2year old video still holds true. Just made this with a couple of substitutions because I used what I had on hand mainly what kind of bbq sauce, BUT!!! This tastes freaken amazing.

[@KosmosQ]

Thinkin' about updating this one 👊🏼💥

[@californiasummitseekers]

Man, I started following you two weeks ago and since then have tried two of your recipes...Whiskey Marinade Ribeyes and Smoked Meatloaf. They are, hands down, two of the best dishes I have EVER prepared! Dude, I’m hooked! Keep ‘em coming!

[@KosmosQ]

So awesome to hear Jacob!! I will keep them flowing my brother

[@nickpanici1170]

Tried this meatloaf about a week ago and loved it! This weekend I switched it up a bit. No sausage all beef, added diced jalapenos, cayenne pepper, fresh ground smoked ghost pepper, and some slap ya mama hot seasoning. I put it on the Traeger at 275 for about two hours turning them over about half way. After about two hours with meat at 165 I turned it down to 250 and put some devil's spit bbq sauce and let it tighten up for 20 minutes and it's spicy awesome meatloaf! Today's sandwich will be awesome too! Keep the recipes coming, your channel is great! Looking forward to getting some of your rubs!

[@KosmosQ]

Congratulations Nick Panici.

Alrighty then, the meatloaf overachiever!

Hey Cosmo- I have now made this smoked meatloaf or variations of it 3x since watching your video 6 weeks ago. My family, friends, and neighbors (yes, I love to share) cant get enough of it! In this year of social distancing, it has helped me bring others some home smoked happiness! Thank You Brother!

[@tallicaman2003]

So I made this today on my pit barrel cooker. I have to say, MY GOD!!! This is the absolute best meatloaf I’ve ever had in my life!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@berniefaldowski4411]

Cooked this Meatloaf today! My goodness. Best meatloaf I have ever had!!! Smoked at 225 degrees and took three hours to get to 165 degrees. Family members who do not eat meat killed this meatloaf. Never used Dirty Bird before…..it maybe my new go too.

[@KosmosQ]

Appreciate you!

[@ericbrunius7173]

I add diced green chilis, dried mushrooms (they hydrate in the cook), jalapeños, olives and smoke them on frog mats. Never done the bacon bits (I too asked myself why?!), but that will happen! Smoked meatloaf is the best! Great video

[@katiekulenkamp81]

My friend made this meatloaf and let me try it. Omg the best I’ve ever had, absolutely delicious.

[@RaisingWolvesBBQ]

I have three of these bad boys in the freezer now. Going to bust them out in a bit let them thaw a bit, wrap them in some mustard loving, sprinkle some magic dust on them and send em on to the heat. First time trying this recipe and Im sure it’s going to be a winner. Thanks for the creativity and humor! Will post back after we eat!

[@RaisingWolvesBBQ]

This recipe is straight fire. It is exceptional and delivered the goods tonight. Highly recommend this one.

[@jake210c]

Great recipe, I used ground venison instead of 80/20. It’s the best meatloaf I’ve smoked by far!

[@TPepeProductions]

Makin one with venison tomorrow!

[@williamgarrett3282]

Made it yesterday on the smoker, only changes was added fresh garlic and serrano pepper when cooking the onion in the bacon grease and used crushed cheese-its instead of breadcrumbs. Also added some hatch green chillies. Formed one huge 3 lb loaf and smoked almost 3 hours at about 250-270 on the smoker using Mesquite. I also layered in Muenster & Provolone cheese in the middle. Delicious

[@KosmosQ]

👊🏼💥

[@jeffsmith9939]

Made this tonight it was a huge hit, thanks you rock. Also I did not freeze them just refrigerated for a hour or so and they held together just fine.

[@Roosters-rants1977]

I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to make some tonight, cook 1 loaf, freeze the other 2

[@poogan1239]

Just made this for Thanksgiving this past Thursday, almost everyone asked me for the recipe! I can say this is the best meatloaf I have ever had, in fact, my father asked if he could take home the third loaf that was leftover! I took mine out of the freezer and put in the microwave on defrost for a couple of minutes to speed the defrost process up (pulled them when they were 1/8th" de-thawed) and the smoke at 280 degrees took about 1.5 hours. Will make these and keep them in the freezer for dinners as they're quite easy to prepare and cook.

[@bobbywade3069]

This by far is the best meatloaf recipe out there

[@KosmosQ]

Appreciate you!

[@brianpreston5206]

[@colejones9032]

Slap a piece of parchment paper under the loaf before going on the smoker. No need to pre freeze. It won’t fall through, works lik a charm.

[@donteatpoop4689]

It will likely lose it's shape though if my experience smoking loafs has taught me anything.

[@colejones9032]

@@donteatpoop4689 Not at all. Works like a charm evert time 👌👌

[@sinfulbeliever7083]

Doesnt the paper stop smoke from penetrating?

[@mjrockholt]

Sure it will hold shape, but it won't be on there smoking as long if the center isn't frozen. Trust the process!

[@austinbeckyj]

This is an older comment I am responding to.... I wonder if it also keeps it shape (not having been frozen?? anybody know?

[@555LugNut]

Dude.. You were so right! I saw the title and said to myself.. "Yeahhh.. right.. best of all time?? Pfft." So I said okay.. I'm game.. it's on! I must say I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of meatloaf. A favorite my entire life. And I must say.. you proved yourself, brother! I followed your recipe and technique pretty much to a tee and wow. Best damn meatloaf I've ever had! Bravo.

The first time I cooked my meat loafs on my pellet grill I couldn’t believe how good it was so I had to do it three more times before trying it in my oven again, and back to the grill it is! And Iv tried them that size and I think the serving size meat loafs come out tasting better, like the size of your fist or so! They are a lot more juicy also!

I have watched this one video off and on for some time having the interest in BBQ meatloaf on the Grill. And to be honest about it, I really haven't ever been much on eating meatloaf..... But I thought that if I could do one on the Grill, and change up a few things. And making the flavor more My own, or what I would like. It might help.... But I can't take full credit.... You deserve a big Thank You! .... I put about 6 or 7 together, following your recipe here. For the most part. Except where You used mustard for a binder for the rub. I used Dukes mayo. I am sure that your rubs and seasonings are very good. However using what I had available.... I used different seasonings. I shared some with friends and they Complemented the meatloaf.... One person had to say that it was the best that he had eaten. Except his wife was present. And he had to include her meatloaf too .... lol Thanks for sharing all the great tips and ideas.... We love your videos!

Made this for dinner this evening, but with a twist: We didn't have bacon on-hand and I'd already popped a few back, so driving to the grocery store was out of the question. We had country style pork ribs, ground it, and decided to use that in place of bacon. It was awesome! I can already imagine how much better it will be when we make it again - but with bacon.
