- Close the lid and cook/smoke for 2 hours.
- At this point brush the remaining barbecue sauce all over the meatloaf.
- Continue cooking another 30 minutes or so - until the meatloaf comes to 160°F (for beef).

Notes
Keep your meatloaf shaped uniformly so that the ends are not a lot smaller than the rest of the meatloaf, if they are then they'll cook too fast and dry out.
Use your favorite barbecue sauce for this recipe, it will make a difference.
Use beef or venison for this recipe. If you use venison smoke for less time - you will only need to cook to 140-145.
