I'd like that meatball technique too.
Deb makes great Italian meatballs and we have talked about smoking a batch.   This could help a lot.

Talk to me about those meatballs! Recipe? Were they basted with a sauce? Or is the color the product of the wood burning alone?

Thanks Biggs! Keep 'em coming ...YOU are a machine ;) ;D


Meatballs Recipe:
All ingredients are eyeballed

1.5 LBS Ground beef
1 LBS Ground pork
1 medium onion
3 garlic cloves grated
About 1/2 cup chopped tomato
About a cup Ricotta cheese
A bunch of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 egg yolks (I prefer yolks only, more tender, bouncy balls)
About 3/4 cup bread crumbs
Some parsley
Some fresh thyme.
A dash of Vietnamese fish sauce

Cook the onion in some fat until soft, add grated garlic and tomato. Cook that mess until there's no more liquid. Add the Vietnamese fish sauce,  mix and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, loosely mix the beef and pork. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rest of the ingredients and get at it with your hands.
Cook a small piece of the mess to taste for seasoning. Adjust accordingly.
Form that mess into a large ball, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll into meatballs and cook indirect on grill or however you please.

Takes notes, make adjustments on next cook.

I can't call these "Italian" but I'll put them against any Italian meatballs.

Didn't baste these, nothing in KBQ gets basted.

Same here. Wendy has sensors on all the decks and the patio area  ;D  I am waiting for a new (larger) PK Grill for next year and I gotta walk on egg shells until then......

Sure wish Tim would get that scratch and sniff dealio going a little quicker  ;) ;)
