Hickory Smoked Mini Meatloaves - Ever since my first meatloaf in a wood pellet smoker-grill I've smoked too many of them to count. I've done two pounders, 1 pounders, and now I've added mini meatloaves to that list. Right now I'm stocking up my freezer with smoked goodies for an upcoming RV trip. Since meatloaf is my all time favorite comfort food I wanted to make sure to add it to our menu options.

    I’ve never smokes a meat. I believe your correct that it a wonderful comfort food. I was woundering how much time should I count on for this process for meal time planning. Thanks. Scott

      For planning purposes Scott it should take you about 2 to 2½ hours using my recipe. Enjoy
