Today's a very special day in any man's life. Smoked meatloaf day. After you smoke a meatloaf, you'll never look at oven baked meatloaf the same way. Well, some of you might. The ones who like hot dogs.

Oh yeah, smoked meatloaf

Right up there with smoked apple pie and chili.

It’s 2021, yes you can, although, you might not know if it’s real meat or imitation.

Threw 2 pork butts on to smoke overnight. Will wake up about 7 and wrap em with brown sugar and butter.

Last night, got the last of it off the grill just a few minutes before a brief downpour. Steaks, bakes, mushrooms, corn, and garlic bread.

Grilled up some quick loin chops for dinner tonight. They turned out a nice medium well.

Made some smoked Lake Trout this weekend. 6 hours covered in brown sugar and kosher salt cure then rinsed and refrigerated overnight. Smoked at 200 degrees for about 2 hours. Turned out pretty good, but a little salty. Next time I will shorten the cure time to about 4 hours.

Took several of the cuts and mixed with cream cheese, Mayo, dill, red onion and horseradish to make a killer dip.

Smoked Trout and Watercress on Tart Apple Slices

Champagne is the perfect accompaniment for this delicate appetizer.

Another good smoked trout appetizer.

I also do it with a slice of cheese of choice in place of the watercress.

What do the pros say about this. I have hickory wood to use but some won't be ready for a year and other 2 years. What about using hickory nuts? They will be ready by spring or I might try some yet this year. Am I nuts?

Not a pro....

Use them. I think it makes for a sweeter favored smoke personally. Pairs well with my sauce for ribs and pulled pork.
