2nd Annual Invitational Rib Off at Iron Barley on May 31st

For some of us Grilling is a year round hobby/passion, some might say mania.  I know my wife does.  For others the official start of the Grilling season is Memorial Day Weekend.  The Grillin Fools have no problem with those that think grilling should only happen from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  Whenever you grill [...]

Grilled Turkey just in time for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  Football, pies, brisk air, stuffing, friends and family, and of course turkey.  We all know the drill.  Place bird in aluminum tray, insert in the oven, bake till the little thing pops up, serve and hope it’s not dry.  If it is dry, well, make sure there’s a gravy [...]

Tailgating the Grillin Fools Way

The Grillin Fools went down to the dome downtown St. Louis for the Mizzou/Illinois border war game on September 5th.  We hauled down four grills, 15 slabs of ribs, 20 pounds of chicken, five fatties, close to 300 bacon wrapped stuffed peppers, and enough ingredients for about 100 crostinis.  I realize that doesn’t really make [...]

The Grillin Fools Grillin on Vacation

In July the Grillin Fools and 30 of our relatives went up to Michigan:

It wasn’t all sunsets, swans and salmon.  Of course we did some grillin, chillin, and thrillin:

We may not have had much to work with (wait to you see the grills) but we still put out a mean product.  And if we can [...]

Thinking of Doing Ribs for the 4th of July? Let the Grillin Fools Help.

We have been discussing ribs a lot lately here at Grillinfools.com because we know a big BBQ weekend is coming up on the 4th of July.  We figured that a lot of our fellow fools would be looking for ideas for what may be the quintessential BBQ food.
This entry is not going to offer any [...]

Grilled Pizzas!!

When most people think of grilling they think of ribs, steak, pulled pork, chicken, etc.  The Grillin Fools are very familiar with all of the above and love each and every one of those items on the grill, but sometimes we like to step outside the box and get a little creative.  Whether it’s crostinis, [...]

Low Maintenance Grilling for a Crowd

Myself and my fellow Grillin Fools will be asked to cook for large groups quite often over the next few months. My family needs no more than word that the sun is going to rise as an excuse to get together for a family function in the warm months. And with us that means grilling. With Memorial Day a few days away, graduation parties, pool parties, and 4th of July right around the corner we find ourselves cooking for a crowd much more often than in the cooler months.

How about a splash of wine?

Let’s talk about wine. I’ve referenced wine on more than one occasion on this site. For some grillin and chillin means BBQ and beer. I completely agree. But it doesn’t only have to be beer. Wine can be an excellent way to accomplish the chillin aspect of this glorious hobby…

Hot Buttered Rum

I realize that this is a grillin website but the Grillin Fools do more than just grill and at this time of year where we have all manner of holiday parties I thought I would share my Hot Buttered Rum recipe.   Wanna be a rock star at one of these parties? Then try this.  [...]
