Didn't get a chance to post when it was first done but here is the first brisket attempt. Started off with a 16.5 pound full packer from Restaurant Depot. trimmed it down to 13.75 - Rubbed it down with a light coat of olive oil and seasoned with just salt and pepper. Smoked at 225 fat side down until it hit 160 and then placed in a large foil pan and covered with foil (which allowed for some great au jus). Took it off when the temp hit 201 degrees and my instant read thermometer sunk in with very little resistance. Wrapped for 4 hours in foil and a beach towel. Total cook time was 13.5 hours. I took off the point and made some burnt ends which unfortunately were gone before I was able to snap a pic but they were "holy cow" delicious! All in all I think it came out pretty good.

Inspired by Kim, NU2 and a few others, I have finally cooked my first meatloaf on my pit. Yep, only had the pit for 2.5 years and just now got it done. There are a few reasons, mostly my wife makes a very mean meatloaf, and she did not what to vary too much from how she makes it. You will notice I said I cooked the meatloaf, I did not say I made the meat loaf! My wife and daughter are away for a few days, and my son and I were at the market deciding what to make for dinner. Our supermarket is great and has so many prepared fresh ready to cook foods. There was a 30 once meatloaf calling our names.
I started by seasoning with my favorite all purpose rub as the pit heated up. Set the pit to 225 with extreme smoke, and smoked the loaf for 1:15. While it was smoking I made the Bourbon Siracha meatloaf glaze located on the Rec Tec site. After the smoking I bumped the temp up to 350 for about 45 minutes, then applied the glaze. Probed for temp and it was at 133. Left the loaf on for about another 20 minutes and when I probed it read 159. I pulled and let rest for about 15 minutes. Sliced and ate. Wow.....a great meatloaf if I have to say. Had a nice light smoke flavor, and the glaze was perfect on it. Will make it again. Thanks for the inspiration all!

So.. When I first read this, it was at a quick glance and thought I read "full packer from HOME Depot" and thought, WOW, they're really diversifying their product lines... Then I realized what it actually said...

That's a good look piece of meat you got there man! Nicely done. Again... if someone would invent a scratch and sniff monitor option, I'd be on the shortlist..

There's been a lot of enthusiasm on here lately for bacon wrapped meatloaf (aka Fattie) and while I don't make them I do have a suggestion for a better finished product, especially taste wise. DO NOT use this for your outer wrap...…..please!

Now when you get ready for leftovers fire the smoker back up and cut the meatloaf into about 1" thick slices to heat them again. So good!

I want to try that bourbon Sricha loaf too.
