In response to the many requests for my meat loaf recipe from the Q-Fest 
attendees, here is my recipe.  One the way back to Florida, I remarked
to 
Big Jim about how rapidly the meat loaf had been consumed.  Big Jim said 
"There's a helluva bunch of closet meat loaf eaters out there" <g>

MEATLOAF
Thoroughly hand mix first eleven (11) ingredients and form into 2 equal 
loaves.  Place each loaf into a foil loaf pan and place both into a
275F pit for 2-1/2 hours.  Remove from pit, brush tops with Danny's glaze and return to pit for 15 more minutes.

Brian,
We ground up a pork shoulder picnic for the  Fest's Sunday Morning 
breakfast sausage.  I used some of that for the ground pork.  Gotta
admit 
that it was already seasoned with sausage seasoning.  I used it anyhow
and 
lo-and-behold, the taste of the meat loaf didn't suffer, even a little 
bit.  Think maybe the next time I make another batch, I might use some 
Jimmy Dean hot sausage in the recipe just to see how that comes out.

Title: Ole Man Jim Anderson's Pit Potatoes
  Categories: Bbq, Potatoes
       Yield: 4 servings

       6 sm Red potatoes, quartered
       2 tb Vegetable oil
       2 tb  Cilantro, chopped fine
     1/2 tb Dried thyme
        1 ts Dried oregano
        1 ts Hungarian paprika
       2 tb Orange or lemon zest

   Quarter the potatoes, leaving the skins on.  Place all spices and oil
   in a large bowl.  Tumble potatoes in oil mixture to coat.  Place in
   baking pan. Sprinkle with salt. Place pan in 375 degree pit for 40
   minutes, turning once.  Fork test for tenderness.

   NOTE-- If desired, cayenne pepper can be added to the oil mixture
   and garlic   powder sprinkled over the potatoes prior to smoking.

   I know the addition of lemon or orange zest on potatoes sounds wierd
   but it sure adds an outstanding taste to them.
