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 [...]

Comfort Food – Beef Chuck Roast

A previous post, Beer Butt Chicken Stew, featured the birds smoking on the grill over a pan of vegetables and broth which allowed us to capture all the flavorful drippings from the birds in the stew below.  Now that “comfort food” weather has arrived I thought the same process should be applied to beef chuck [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Spatchcocked Game Hens

Spatchcocked?  What the heck is spatchcocked right?  When I first heard that someone I knew spatchcocked his chicken I thought he was doing something dirty.  Not so.  Spatchcocking poultry is simply butterflying a bird prior to cooking it.  In my quest to try everything on the grill at least once I decided to give this [...]

Unleash Your Inner Caveman with Beef Ribs

We have done spare, St. Louis style, baby backs and country style ribs which are all pork.  But why do we have to limit ourselves to just pork?  Why not beef ribs?  Oh, sure, many of you have heard negative things about beef ribs:

They’re tough.
They don’t have a lot of meat on those gigantic bones.
I [...]

Peachy Sweet Spare Ribs

Are you in a rib rut?  Do you have your method down to a science so your ribs come out perfect every time?  While the ribs are perfect are you starting to get tired of cooking them the exact same way every time?  Want to grill outside the box and try something new?  Then I [...]

Peach Smoked Jerk Ribs

For those that don’t know me, I have a penchant for food on the spicier side.  I used to have a motto, “if it don’t make you sweat, it ain’t worth eating.”  I have mellowed on that quite a bit but I still get a craving for the heat every now and again.  And one [...]

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, [...]
