This smoked bacon-wrapped meatloaf requires patience and attention to temperature control, but the results are worth every minute. The key is maintaining consistent low heat while building layers of flavor through smoke and the bacon's rendered fat.

Remember that cooking times can vary based on your grill's efficiency and outside temperature. Always rely on internal temperature rather than time alone for food safety.
