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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Pulled Pork done in 6 hours. That is not a typo

BBQ purists will scoff at pulled pork in less than 10-12 hours.  In this post I will show you how to pull off pulled pork in less than 6 hours.  Pulled pork is to be started at the crack of dawn in order to serve at 5:00 pm right?  Wrong.  Following this recipe will allow [...]

Smokin some Fatties, Again, Not Those Kind of Fatties, and Some Grilled Beans

This is not the first post I have done about smoking fatties on the grill. You can see the write-up of previously smoked fatties here. And I will say again that they are not that kind of fatty. A fatty is simply smoked bulk sausage. Often it is breakfast sausage. Sometimes [...]

Old School Ribs – Excellent Read for Rib Novices Out There

Over the weekend we celebrated the Grillin Fool’s birthday with some serious grillin, chillin and poker shillin. Ribs, Bacon Wrapped Deer Tenderloin, Grilled Beans and an entire Chub of Bologna. Dad did the ribs as well as the prep work on the Deer Tenderloin. For the ribs he didn’t bother with the latest Rib crazes [...]

How the GrillinFool celebrated the Super Bowl – Part I – Bacon Explosion

Oh, what a joyous day. I love the Super Bowl. I love the culmination of the NFL season. I love the commercials. I love that it is practically a holiday that everyone gets together for. And most of all I love the food. And this year we may have gone a little overboard. If you [...]

How the GrillinFool celebrated the Super Bowl – Part III – Atomic Buffalo Turds

And finally we have the Atomic Buffalo Turds (ABT’s). Don’t let the name scare you. These things are incredible. A jalepeno stuffed with cream cheese a little smoky and wrapped with a half a slice of bacon. And for those of you that think this will be way to hot trust [...]
