ADVICE
“ For the love of all things holy, line a baking sheet with tinfoil and place it on the rack underneath the mesh cooling rack. This will catch all the fat and grease dripping off the smoked meatloaf and keep clean up to the absolute minimum!“

Make the sauce.
Combine vinegar, brown sugar, and ketchup together to create the sauce. Then liberally baste the meatloaf before placing on the smoker.

Smoke it.
Smoke the meatloaf at 225f for 2 hours, baste it again, then continue smoking until the internal temperature reaches 165f.

Rest
Once cooked, allow meatloaf to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing and serving!
