Firehouse Stuffed Meatloaf, Winter weather, even in California, begs for meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Our friend Pete makes award winning sauces and rubs. One taste and you’ll know why. We also really like that salt is never the first ingredient. Of course, if you’re making this recipe for your local firehouse you might want to triple the recipe.

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on one of our Grills or Smokers, but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns, and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Our Favorite Grill Accessories:

We have a few “Grilling Essentials” that we love. First, we have “Grill Grates” on all of our grills. Love the control they give us with our “cooks” from smoke to sear!

A “Smoke Daddy Cold Smoke Generator” for “Cold Smoking”…

A “Wedgie” for creating smoke blends or just bring smoke into our cook.

Bull Racks used as much Off the grill As on the grill!!! A Must Have for Smoking

And Don Godke’s Downdraft on my Green Mountains Grills”. What the “DownDraft” does is hold the smoke a little longer in the cooking chamber. Adding more smoke flavor and making it easier to create smoke blends to your liking.

Directions: Firehouse Stuffed Meatloaf

In large bowl combine all your ingredients, except for cheese sticks and Santa Maria Rub. Place half of meatloaf mixture on small grill grate, top with cheese, then place the rest of the meat over the cheese thoroughly sealing in cheese. Sprinkle on Pete’s Firehouse Santa Maria Rub. It is easier if you use a small grill grate for the meat. Onto the grill 1 ½ hours at 350 degrees (75c).

When the meat reaches an internal temp around 165 degrees (75c) pull it off, cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temperatures.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees, anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About Our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Monument, Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
