Notes
We use a Masterbuilt Electric smoker, but the basic recipe can be used with any smoker.
Use your favorite BBQ sauce here. Use your favorite wood chips -- I like hickory, cherry and mesquite.
Use a grill topper or similar tray with holes for venting. This allows the smoke to penetrate the loaf.
Be careful not to overmix the meat. When you can form it into a loaf, it is ready to go.
Total cooking time may vary with different smokers.
