Since it's the "things we are cooking thread". I'm(as in my wife) going to try a pizza meatloaf tonight. I'm on keto diet and eat about 10 carbs a day average, and crave pizza so I hope it turns out good.

Pepperoni Pizza Meatloaf - Low Carb, Grain Free, THM S

I've heard about smoked meatloaf, but never tried it.

I wish I lived back home where wood is cheap and plentiful, out here in the desert all I have is chunks from Walmart, so it costs me damn near as much in wood as it does the pork butt. The one I'm smoking tomorrow will probably cost more in wood than pork because it was only 99 cents a lb. I paid $8 for the whole thing, and a single bag of apple wood chunks is $8 and I'll easily use more than a single bag.

I'd go buy Hickory by the cord if I was back home.

I'd probably smoke a lot more if I had a better wood source.

I've smoked an eye of round roast before. I have a deli slicer, made for awesome roast beef.

I had a slicer for several years until I got tired of cleaning it. Nice if you do a lot of smoking. Especially bologna.

I had Ribeye's this afternoon and it turned out perfect. Best steak I've had in awhile.

1 inch steak that was almost a lb and a half and I ate it all. 1500 glorious calories.

my favorite cut. followed by top sirloin

those idiot vegetarians are missing out badly

Wife does all the cleaning, so that helps.

I still don't use it very often.

putting pork shoulder on at 9. using chris lilly's rub and injection. i've used it before and people really like it. hickory and oak. have to coach a baseball game later, so i have to cheat. smoking for 5 hours, then putting it in the oven for the next 3-4 hours at 225. the shoulder weighs 8 pounds, so i am looking at 8-9 hours. i don't use the crutch with shoulders, so it takes me longer than usual

Wrap it and put it in the oven at 275. It will be juicier.

The reason for this - the "Stall" is basically due to the meat sweating. Just like humans, when it sweats, it cools the meat off. And just like humans, the best way to keep it from cooling when it sweats is to wrap it in something. Kind of like how sweeting in a big ass coat doesn't cool you off. So you wrap it, and then bumping the temperature up makes you go through those temperatures faster. In the end, you shouldn't have much of a stall at all if any.

my worry is that i might over cook it. i probably won't get home until 6:45-7:00.

I put it on at 10:00 and will transfer to oven around 2:00-2:30. Again, won't be home until 6:45-7

Think i will be ok wrapping still?

Not sure about that, I always say "It's done when it's done". I usually wrap and transfer to the oven around 145 degrees, and then it's only 2 or 3 more hours in the oven @ 275 usually.

If you are worried about it, just stay at 225 I suppose.

when i cook shoulders, i usually have to cook 1-2 more hours than expected. I have a Weber smokey mountain, not the really big one, the size under. i've had it for about a decade, and have even won money with it at a KCBS competition. So, if i am spending 4 on the smoker, i think 5 in the oven should be fine. I've had it at 250 the past 2 1/2 hours.
