Island Grillin’

I realize that at the time this post was added to the website that a lot of us are right in the middle of winter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come back and reference this later or refer to this on your own island getaway.  Click below to see how my dad and cousin [...]

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 [...]

Grilled Dessert

The Grillin Fools have been known to push the boundaries of grilling beyond steaks, ribs, brisket, etc.  Whether it’s grilled salad, meat loaf, pizzas or wait till you see what we are doing with eggs on the grill, we try to push the envelope on the grill.  This happens to be one of those occasions, [...]

New York Strip Steaks Marinated in, well, Salt

I’ve been talking about brining a lot lately which is soaking usually chicken or pork in a salt water solution to make the meat more juicy, tender, and flavorful.  How is this possible?  Doesn’t salt dry things out?  Well, yes if you use enough salt long enough.  But if done properly salt can do some [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Time to Demystify Prime Rib. It May Be Expensive But it’s Also Very Easy

Prime rib is another one of those things that people love to eat but are afraid to cook. We’ve already gone over how easy lobster tails are to cook on the grill as well as boil in a pot. And while it is the perfect time to practice on lobster as the prices are [...]

Fajitas on the Grill!!

OK, some will argue that these are quesadillas and not fajitas. They look like quesadillas but the ingredients are all fajita. And you know what they say – it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
I love making fajitas. Easy, relatively healthy compared to the bacon wrapped stuff I am normally doing, [...]

Grilled Lobster Tails!!!

Some of you may be intimidated by Lobster. Some of you love the stuff but rarely eat it due to the cost. The cost leads to that intimidation. Do these questions pop up when considering Lobster:
What if I overcook it?
What if I under cook it?
How do I know when it’s done?
What if [...]
