Ingredients

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3/4 cup dry bread crumbs

1/4 cup 2% milk

1 cup barbecue sauce, divided

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 pounds ground beef

RUB:

2 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1 Prepare your smoker for smoking according to the manufacturer's directions, whether that's soaking chips or just adding pellets to the bin. Heat your smoker to 225°F.

2 Combine ingredients

3 In a large bowl, stir together eggs, onion, bread crumbs, milk, 1/4 of the cup barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Add the beef, and mix just until all ingredients are incorporated, making sure not to overmix. In a separate smaller bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic salt, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Set aside.

4 Shape loaf and smoke

5 Shape the beef mixture into a 10x4-inch loaf on a greased smoker rack. Rub the chili powder mixture all over the loaf. Place in the smoker. Smoke until a thermometer reads 145°, about one hour. Brush the loaf generously with the remaining 3/4 cup barbecue sauce. Smoke for another 10 to 15 minutes, until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
