Pecan Smoked Brisket along with Smoked Beans

Pecan-Smoked Beef Brisket has become quite the family favorite when we get together.  This year, on our annual trip to cool Michigan, I’m at it again with a couple of twists.  I also did baked beans, or in this case smoked beans, on the grill.

Pastrami on the Grill

No Mexican food this time, but I got a packaged corned beef brisket (in a brine) at the market. I didn’t know what to do with this piece of meat, so I went online to see what I can do. Lo and behold, I was searching GrillinFools.com and came across a few corned beef brisket [...]

Grilled Prime Rib – Andria’s Style

Outside of full on family barbecues where we are feeding the masses all three Grillin Fools don’t get to grill together all that often.  But recently we decided to celebrate our new sponsor, Andria’s Steak Sauce, with the oh so appr0priate prime rib done with an Andria’s flare.  My dad did the grilling and will [...]

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 [...]

Country Style Ribs

Some people love the taste of ribs but are turned off by the meat to bone ratio.  If the ribs are not meaty it might take a whole lot of work for a little bit of meat.  Those people would like more meat with their bones, so to speak.  If you fall into this boat [...]

That’s not Pulled Pork. That’s Pulled Beef Brisket!!

Beef brisket is a pretty tough cut of meat that if done properly can be pretty stellar.  Usually it requires an acidic marinade for about 48 hours (or more) and slow and low cooking to the tune of 225 degrees for 1.5 hours per pound plus an hour for resting.  This brisket was marinaded less [...]
