More Corned Beef and Cabbage on the Grill and Potatoes too

The Grillin Fools tackled this three different ways.  The first was my take on the classic dish which can be found by clicking here. This is the second installment which was done by my father, Greg – Smokin’ on the Water, Thomas.  He took one of our favorite methods for doing pork loin or brisket [...]

Grilled Corned Beef and Cabbage Just in Time for St. Patty’s Day

With St. Patrick’s day just around the corner and the typical fare of corned beef and cabbage on the menu, the Grillin Fools thought we would do these traditional favorites our way.  My father and cousin, Greg – Smokin on the Water, and Tom – the Big Green Eggspert, will have their own twists on [...]

Grilling for the Holidays

Tis the season for caroling, shopping, freezing, snowing, sharing, giving, and, of course, maybe the most important part which is spending time with friends and family.  It’s this time of year that we get together to be thankful as the Pilgrims did so many years ago and then to share and give on Christmas Eve [...]

Foiled Beef Brisket – A Story of Adapting to a Major Grilling Setback

One of the hardest things to teach people about grilling is dealing with ever changing circumstances that may or may not be out of their control.  Grilling on a muggy summer day is much different than grilling in a blustery Autumn day and certain things should be done to account for the different weather.  Grilling [...]

Flat Iron Steak

The Grillin Fools are big steak eaters.  Rib eyes, NY strips, porterhouses, filets, whatever.  You name it and we like to grill it and have even more fun eating it.  Off the beaten path a bit is the flat iron steak. It’s not nearly as popular as its brethren mention above but we still love [...]

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 [...]

Smoked Scotch Eggs – Yes Eggs on the Grill

One of my favorite pub appetizers is scotch eggs.  Simply put they are hard boiled eggs wrapped in a layer of sausage, deep fried for a bit, split down the middle and served with a honey mustard dipping sauce.  Not great for the arteries unless you are doing the Atkins thing, but delicious.  I decided [...]
