Smoked BBQ Meatloaf

Is there anything more comforting than Grandma's meatloaf and mashed potatoes?? Well, this isn't Grandma's meatloaf.  But it sure does make my mouth water just thinking about it.  When meatloaf is smoked, it takes it to a whole new level of epicness (real word?)! The smoke ring created from the natural wood (I prefer apple or hickory) gives a visual appeal to an otherwise ordinary looking meatloaf.

I smoke my meatloaf for 3-4 hours at 250F or until a thermometer reads 160F. I form the meatloaf in a disposible baking tray so it is easy to take off the smoker. Enjoy this with mashed potatoes, corn bread, and maybe even an apple pie!
