Smoked Elk Meatloaf

[NBK]

Alton Browns meatloaf inspired me. I made my version with a twist. His recipe less the cumin and a touch of thyme. Also used ground elk in place of beef and added 25% lean ground pork. Made the glaze with Sriracha, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and honey.

180° (smoke) for 1 hour and then 225° with a hickory smoke tube for the next 4.5 hours (final temp was 155°).

It didn't suck. Had it with smashed potatoes and sweet petite peas.

I need some elk meatloaf in my life. Haven't made any in a couple of months!

Also, I plan on making my first round of home made elk brats in the coming weeks. I may need to get a smoker just to cook them. Lol.
