my first bacon bomb

[Tasso-Hunter]

Hay guys...Let me show you my first bacon bomb...I did it during a rainy afternoon to fight the cold temperature
I mixed 1/2 pork minced meat with 1/2 calf minced meet adding 2 sausages also. I mixed all together spice rub and before do the classic meatloaf to it I putted in the middle scamorza italian cheese and yellow fresh pepper. In the end I wrapped with bacon.
I started my weber and kept the temperature about 300° for 1.40 hour smoking with apple wood....the final taste was good but the meat was not very juicy, was a little dry...where is the mistake?

sorry bout the dryness, however, if it's wrapped in bacon then it's OK with me always enjoy browsing your cook posts, T.H., they are like a mini-Cinematic Dinner

Do you know the fat/lean ratio of the beef you used?

I don't know it...do You think the problem is calf meat too lean? I didn't observed the Fat ratio becouse using pork meat and 2 sausages I thinked was ok

Could be. If it was a lean ratio like 90/10. The ground pork could have been pretty lean too, but most times ground pork is at 80/20 lean/fat. Not sure what it may be in your area though.

Probably you're right....the next time I'll do it probably it'll better buy ground pork and beef asking to the butcher a more hight fat ratio....which lean/fat ratio do you think should be the best?

I like to use 70/30 for meatloaf, which would work well for a bacon bomb. I made my last one with this ratio and it was juicy as could be.
