Web Guy Tries MOINK Balls

BBQ Grail Note:  Rick is the guy that makes all my websites viewable.  He’s a first rate Web Guy and a good friend.  Here’s his Father’s Day MOINK Ball try.  Looks like he’s as good at making MOINK Balls as he is at designing websites.

I’m just a guy doing web sites, this one included. But you can’t help being influenced by all of the great BBQ posts around here. So, it was with much humbleness that I attempted my first batch of MOINK Balls.

They might say that you can’t do “true BBQ” on a gas grill.

But, I did it anyway. On Father’s Day, I did my best.

I prepared the MOINK Balls according to Larry’s recipe. A full package of pre-cooked beef meatballs (about 60 of them), wrapped in a half-slice of thick-cut smoked bacon from the local grocery store. I sprinkled them with some McCormick’s Pork Rub, and placed them on bamboo skewers in a foil pan. The result looked like this:

While the MOINK Balls rested a bit, I fired up the gas grill, getting the temperature to settle in about 250 degrees. I had some mesquite wood chips (from the local ACE Hardware store) in a smaller foil pan that had previously been soaked in water for about an hour, then drained. I put that on the left side of the grill under the hot gas burners for about a half-hour.
