  Will it BBQ? Squid!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Squid and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  60 Minutes

  Cook Time

  10 Minutes

  Ingredients

  1 Squid
  1 Pineapple

  Utensils Needed

  Non-Stick Mesh Basket
  Boning Knife

  Instructions If you purchased an entire squid, as we did, then you need to start by separating the hood from the tentacles. You can do this by making a clean cut just above the head. Then you need to remove a ball-like piece from the head, this will contain the beak, it comes out easily just feel around for it and squeeze it out. Then you need to reach up into the hood and remove the internal guts. You should also be able to pull out the quill at this point, the quill is a clear plastic looking piece that is roughly the size and shape of a feather. Next clean everything very well under water. Then lay the hood flat and either cut or pull off the wings. Then cut through the upper half of the hood leaving the bottom half intact, this will make the squid more tender and allow you to stuff it with more pineapple. Stuff it with pieces of pineapple and sprinkle on the seasoning of your choice. Then go ahead and grill it until it has the desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes a side should do it. Get some dipping sauces ready and enjoy! So, Will it BBQ?

  This was one of our more “interesting” ones. I like calamari in pasta dishes and when it is fried, grilling it was very good, but the texture was not as good as when it is fried, the hood was by far the best part though. The tentacles were not something I would eat again and the “wings” were at best okay. We have the longer version of this video available Here if you want to watch the entire thing.

  Will it BBQ? Smores!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Smores and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  10 Minutes

  Ingredients

  Marshmellows
  Graham Cracckers
  Chocolate

  Utensils Needed

  Foil Pan

  Instructions So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are going to try BBQing Smores!

  Obviously, Smores will BBQ, doing them on a grill is basically the same process as over a fire but doing it on the BBQ might have a few advantages. With normal smores, you are relying on the heat from the marshmallow to melt the chocolate and you can only do a few at a time.

  Some people might say doing it this way takes all the fun out of it, the messy gooey fingers are part of it and if you have kids I’m sure that’s true but if you are making larger quantities for a dessert then this is the way to go. We lined the bottom of a foil pan with graham crackers then we laid a few pieces of chocolate on top of those and put the marshmallow ontop of that. We left the top layer of graham crackers off until just before it was done so we could easily monitor their progress.

  We did a few where we cut a slit in the marshmallows and inserted a small piece of chocolate to see if that made any difference in the finished appearance.

  We had our grill running at 450° and we let them cook for about 10 minutes.
  I sprinkled some Cinnamon toast shake on these and just like always that made things a lot tastier!

  So, Will it BBQ?

  So, in the end, is this any better than doing it over a fire? Well that depends, if the little ones want to use something like the Fire Fishing Pole and make an evening of it then this might take some of the fun out of it. However, if you are just wanting to make some delicious gooey smores for a lot of people then this is the way to go!

  Ingredients

  Maple Syrup
  Pnacakes

  Utensils Needed

  Smoke Generators

  Instructions Cold smoke the syrup for 30 minutes, we used Pecan Wood Chips but you can use anything you want. The sweetness from the Syrup should be strong enough to stand up to anything including hickory or mesquite but I would recommend a fruitwood or blend. So, Will it BBQ?

  Oh yes, this was amazing! The sweetness of the maple syrup and the smoke went together very well together and balanced each other. This was one that we will certainly be doing again as it was very easy and made a large impact on the taste in a good way!

  Will it BBQ? Cheese!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are Cold Smoking Cheese and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!!

  Prep Time

  5 min

  Cook Time

  60 minutes

  Ingredients

  Cheddar Cheese
  Parmesan Cheese
  Bleu Cheese

  Utensils Needed

  The Flip Professional Smoke Box
  Premium Smoking Chips - Coarse

  Instructions Cold smoking is adding smoke to something and not adding any heat. We did it using a Flip Professional Smoke Box in a Weston 30" Vertical Smoker and placed it on the bottom of the smoker and put our cheese on the top shelf too keep it as far away from the heat source as possible. We lit the chips, opened the side vents all the way and the top vent 1/2 way and smoked it for an hour. When we took them out of the smoker we vac packed them and kept them in our fridge for a week to let the smoke mellow out a little bit. So, Will it BBQ?

  Obviously smoked cheese is a thing alot of people like. We wanted to see if it was easy to do at home and it was. Smoking cheese at home gave us at least as good results as what you are going to buy at the store and it allows you to control how smokey you want your cheese!

  Will it BBQ? Jackfruit!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Jackfruit and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  10 minutes

  Cook Time

  35 minutes

  Ingredients

  2 Cans of Green Jackfruit
  Fresh Jackfruit
  BBQ Sauce
  Bread Rolls

  Utensils Needed

  Stark Cutting Board
  Boning Knife

  Instructions One of the suggestions we got for will it bbq was JackFruit. Neither Austin or I had ever tried Jackfruit so we started doing some research and testing. We found that there are two basic ways to eat Jackfruit. The first is the ripened fruit which you can just eat like you would any other fruit or use in a dessert and the other way is the green or un-ripened fruit which is what a lot of people are using as a meat substitute. So we went out and got some of both.
  
  

  First, let’s talk about the un-ripened fruit or green jackfruit. It comes in a can with either water or syrup, we bought the can with just the water. You need to rinse it and dry it first, then there might be a part of the core attached to the pieces so you should chop those off. Then you want to put them in a pan with some BBQ sauce and onions and garlic and saute them for about 5 minutes. We wanted them to taste like that had come off the bbq though so instead of doing this with a stove or oven we put them in our pellet grill for 30 minutes at about 400° and added more BBQ sauce and a little bit of water. I went back to it after about 15 minutes and mashed it up. I did this again once it was totally done. We used Sizzlin Green Chili as our BBQ Sauce.

  The other way to eat Jackfruit is just like you would any other fruit. First your need to be very careful though, this stuff is extremely sticky and will stain clothing apparently. So we put down a stark disposable cutting board and even oiled the blade of our knife. First you need to cut out the core, it was fairly simple to do, just be careful and take it out in sections if needed. Then you have all these “pods” with the flesh of the fruit around a seed. You need to separate these from the skin, I found a knife was the easiest way to do this and then remove the seed as well as a thin skin that surrounds the seed. After that there is something that resembles corn silk around the side of the fruit that has to be removed as well. This stuff is very sticky so make sure you are wearing gloves when doing it! So just eating it was okay but we wanted to see if it would BBQ so we put it on a non-stick mesh grilling basket and sprinkled cinnamon toast shake on some of them and grilled it for 10 minutes at 400°
  

  So, Will it BBQ?

  The Green Jackfruit had an appearance and texture that was surprisingly close to a real pulled pork sandwich. It was not an exact match but it was pretty close and certainly tasted nothing like a fruit. I will almost certainly be making this for my vegetarian wife at some point, so yes, it will BBQ!

  The fresh Jackfruit was difficult to prepare, if you have the option of purchasing some that has already been cut and seeded I would go with that but it was still very tasty once we BBQ’d it! It was even tasty before, it had a very fresh taste to it, similar to cantaloupe but less juicy. Once we BBQ’d it with Cinnamon Toast Shake it was really good! Better than either the Watermelon or Pineapple that we had done previously.

  @raider2119 I’d say before you go and make something to chill the smoke I’d try it first just with the smoke source as far away as possible and see what happens, if you have problems then try to create something? Unless of course you want to create something, then by all means tinker away!

  As for the cure, I would say no, don’t add any sure cure to it. It’s not designed for use with dairy products and I don’t think it is going to give you much protection and it could throw off your process.

  Making small batches at first is the right way to go, I imagine this process is going to take some experimenting to get right but when you do I am willing to bet it will be amazing!

  Will it BBQ? Soda Pop!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Soda Pop and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  20 Minutes

  Ingredients

  Hickory Smoke Powder
  Soda of your choice

  Utensils Needed

  2lb Foil Loaf Pan 4-Pack
  The Flip Professional Smoke Box

  Instructions We are trying two methods, a traditional cold smoke and adding hickory smoke powder directly to the soda. Pour the desired amount of soda into a foil pan and put in a smoker on the top shelf. Put your Flip Professional Smoke Box towards the bottom of your smoker and light it. Close the top vent and open the bottom ones and smoke for 5-10 minutes. For the second method use just a pinch of hickory smoke powder and mix into the soda before drinking. So, Will it BBQ?

  Some were better than others and we each had different favorites on the cold smoking but we both ended up thinking the one that we thought was going to be the worst was the best! I liked Mountain Dew best and Austin liked the Coke best. For adding hickory smoke powder both the Dr Pepper and the Cream Soda were good, not just not bad they were good! Especially the cream soda, the smoke powder added just a nice hint of smoke that really worked with the cream soda! So no, it will not BBQ if you try to apply actual smoke but if you use Hickory Smoke Powder it can turn out pretty good!

  Will it BBQ? Mayo!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are smoking Mayo and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!!

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  30 Minutes

  Ingredients

  Mayo

  Utensils Needed

  Smoker
  Foil Pan

  Instructions We tried two different techniques to smoke Mayo. First, we put some mayo in foil pans and placed them in the smoker at 200° for 15 minutes, then turned off the heat and let them continue to smoke for another 15 minutes to see if they would pick up smoke. Then we also put some mayo in pans and added a level teaspoon of hickory smoke powder to them to see if this would give us a different result. So, Will it BBQ?

  We didn’t really feel like just eating heaping spoonfuls of Mayo so we made some BLT’s and smeared the mayo on that. We toasted the bread and added some imitation bacon we had recently made, tomatoes, lettuce and some provolone cheese as well. The Mayo that we put in the smoker picked up a slightly bitter taste while the Hickory Smoke Powder had a nice smokey flavor but was still smooth. So I would say that they both BBQ but adding the Hickory Smoke Powder was a better (and easier) way to go about it!

  Will it BBQ? Eggs!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Eggs and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  10 Minutes

  Cook Time

  2 Hours

  Ingredients

  Eggs

  Utensils Needed

  Smoker

  Instructions The egg shells are air permeable so the smoke can pass through the egg shell, however a lot of store bought eggs are sprayed with a solution that prevents this, so you have to wash and dry your eggs before smoking them. Place them directly on the grates of your grill or smoker at 225° and let them smoke for an hour. After the first hour flip them over to the other side and smoke for another hour. Be careful not to let your smoker get above 250° as this might cause the eggs to burst and you will have a mess in your grill or smoker. So, Will it BBQ?

  From a standpoint of did this give us a cooked egg like a hard boiled one, the answer is yes. However, our goal was to see if this would be an improvement on the traditional hard boiled egg and sadly the answer is not really, no. There was a very little amount of smoke that was picked up but it was not enough to justify letting them smoke to 2 hours. We thought we might not have gotten enough of the spray off of the egg shell to let the smoke through the shell but there was actually a smoke ring in the egg so the smoke did penetrate it just did not make much of an impression. Hey, they can’t all be winners!

  Will it BBQ? Chocolate and Candy!

  With Halloween right around the corner we wanted to see what would happen if we took some chocolate and cold smoked it. Once I got to the store though I saw some other candy and decided grab some of that as well!

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  60 Minutes

  Ingredients

  Chocolate of your choice
  Candy of your choice

  Utensils Needed

  Amaze-N-Tube Smoker

  Instructions Take whatever Chocolate or other Candy you want to try to add a smoke flavor to and put it in a foil pan. Since the Chocolate and some of the Candies might melt you are better off trying to do a cold smoke. I used the Amaze-N-Tube Smoker and filled it with Hickory Pellets, I then used a propane torch to get them light and put them in our smoker with no heat. I let them sit in the smoker for an hour and kept the smoldering pellets as far away from the candy as possible. So, Will it BBQ?

  Some of you are going to think we are crazy for even trying this but the Reeses Peanutbutter Cups, the Hershey’s with Almonds and the Snickers all came out really tasty! Picked up a good amount of smoke but wasn’t overpowering, similar to what you get with a s’mores if you held your marshmallows over a fire. We also did Peach Rings, Gummy Bears and Candy Corns to see how they would do, really I just wanted some Candy! The peach rings were really good, they tasted a lot like a grilled peach, the Gummy Bears were alot better without the smoke and the candy corns are disgusting no matter what! We also did some gum just to see what would happen, they did not pick up much smoke and the small amount that was picked up did not add anything good to the gum.

And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Ziti and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!!

  Prep Time

  30

  Cook Time

  45

  Ingredients

  1 Package of Ziti
  Desired amount of Red Sauce
  1 Cup ricotta Cheese
  Sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese
  1 lb Mozzarella Cheese

  Instructions This works best with a homemade red sauce but you can use a jarred sauce if you have to, either way use the Spaghetti Sauce Seasoning to add a little zip to your sauce. After boiling your pasta (undercook it slightly as it will cook more in the smoker) put it in a foil pan and add your sauce, then put spread out your Ricotta Cheese and Mozzarella cheese in a layer above the pasta and sprinkle on some Parmesan as well. Put it in your smoker and smoke for about 45 minutes at 375°, remove and serve hot. So, Will it BBQ?

  The cheese and sauce are going to be the two main vehicles for the smoke here and while I don’t think either of them picked up a lot of smoke it was enough to give it a nice smokiness without being overpowering. This is a definite yes, will BBQ!

And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing French Bread and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  60 Minutes

  Ingredients

  1 loaf of French Bread
  Butter to Taste
  Cinnamon Toast Shake
  Bloody Mary Wing Shake
  Butter Garlic Rub

  Utensils Needed

  PK 100 Smoker

  Instructions Set your smoker to 120° or as low as it will go, cut your loaf in half length wise and smoke for one hour. You can use whatever wood chips you want but we chose apple for this as it has a nice flavor without being overpowering. We are going to spread on some butter after taking it out of the smoker and then sprinkle on some Bloody Mary Wing Shake on a slice, Butter Garlic Rub on another and Cinnamon Toast Shake on the last. We chose these seasonings as they each will go well with both bread and butter but you could choose whatever seasoning you like the best. So, Will it BBQ?

  Even if the bread doesn’t pick up a lot of smoke we are in for a treat as bread, butter and seasoning is always going to be good. We didn’t need to worry though as the bread picked up a lot of smoke all by itself. I could smell it as soon as I brought it out of the smoker, the bread soaked up the smoke more than I would have thought and adding butter and some well chosen seasonings just put the icing on the cake. This was a huge yes, I will be making this again for sure!

  Will it BBQ? Peanut Butter!

And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Peanut Butter and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  60 Minutes

  Ingredients

  16 oz Peanut Butter
  16 oz Fluff or Marshmellow Spread
  2 pieces of sandwich bread

  Utensils Needed

  PK 100 Smoker

  Instructions Empty your peanut butter jar, or however much you want to smoke (a serving of peanut butter is generally a little over an ounce) into a foil pan. Set your smoker to somewhere around 120° and smoke for 1 hour. Since the PK 100 does not have humidity control I am adding a bowl of water to keep some moisture in the chamber. I decided that the best way to try this would be with a favorite sandwich of mine as a kid, we called them Fluffernutters but some people apparently call them Peanut Butter and Fluff Sandwiches but that name is so incredibly boring that I almost fell asleep while typing it. Once your peanut butter is smoked spread the desired amount onto a piece of bread and then spread the desired amount of fluff on the other piece, close the sandwich and enjoy! Since we smoked almost the entire jar I just put the leftover amount back in the jar when we were done so now we have smoked Peanut Butter for whenever we want it! So, Will it BBQ?

  We decided to make one sandwich out of the smoked peanut butter and one made from normal peanut butter so we could have something to compare it to and it was a good thing we did it this way as the first taste did not bring up a ton of smoke, however after comparing it to the regular sandwich I realized that the peanut butter had picked up smoke but it was more subtle than I had expected. I love this type of sandwich that I was going to be happy with this no matter what but I do think the smoky peanut butter added something to it! So, in the end this was a yes it will BBQ!

  Will it BBQ? Donuts!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Donuts and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  20 Minutes

  Cook Time

  60 Minutes

  Ingredients

  Glazed Donuts
  Cake Donuts
  Pinch(es) of Hickory Smoke Powder
  Powdered Sugar
  Cinnamon Toast Shake

  Instructions We BBQ'd two different ways. With the donuts that had a glaze on them we put those in a pan and put them in the smoker over low heat for an hour. We also used cake donuts and we made our own glaze with hickory smoked powder to drizzle over them. To make the glaze take a few ounces of water, some powdered sugar and a pinch of hickory smoke powder at a time until you achieve the smoke level you want The drizzle version we did not put on the BBQ. Before you eat these add some [Cinnamon Toast Shake](https://www.waltonsinc.com/cinnamon-toast) to make them even better! So, Will it BBQ?

  For the two donuts we actually put in the smoker the one with bacon on it was far better because the bacon was able to pick up more smoke flavor, that was a definitely yes it will BBQ. The one without bacon did not have any smoke flavor to it. We think this is because the glaze melted all off of the donut and that is what picked up the smoke flavor.

  For the cake donuts, they were just incredible, such an interesting mix of the sweetness from the sugar, the smoke from the hickory smoke powder and just a great donut flavor! This will BBQ for sure and will be done again…and again and again!

  So if you are thinking of trying a smoked donut I would recommend buying plain cake flavored donuts and making a smoky drizzle using water, powdered sugar, hickory smoke powder and then topping it off with some Cinnamon Toast Shake.

  I’ll have to give the balsamic g&h jam a try, but I think there are a bunch of other interesting options… you could try something much more “traditional” like nutmeg or cinnamon… or stretch the possibilities with a lil cumin… BUT… I’m more curious to just try a lil naked smoked watermelon…

  Will it BBQ? Eggplant!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Eggplant and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!!

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  10 Minutes

  Ingredients

  Eggplant
  Authentic Greek Seasoning

  Instructions Slice your eggplant into rings and season both sides with Authentic Greek Seasoning or any other seasoning that you want to try. Heat your grill up to around 400° and grill for 5 minutes a side or to desired level of doneness. So, Will it BBQ?

  We aren’t the biggest vegetable fans here, we like them but almost all of us will reach for some sort of meat first. Even with that, this was very good! We liked that the Eggplant had a decent texture and took on the seasoning well. This is a good way to get your veggies in for anyone who doesn’t normally eat enough of them! So, YES this will BBQ!

  Will it BBQ? Alfredo Sauce!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Alfredo Sauce and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  10 Minutes

  Cook Time

  2 1/2 Hours

  Ingredients

  1 Box of Penne Pasta
  Can of Alfredo Sauce

  Instructions Empty your jar of Alfredo Sauce into a foil pan, or other pan that you don't mind putting in the smoker, and smoke at low heat for 2 /12 hours. You could probably get away with 1 1/2 hours and still pick up a decent amount of smoke. Boil your pasta and add the sauce to it once you are done smoking it. So, Will it BBQ?

  Pasta is not something that I thought to try smoking but now that we have done the baked ziti and this I am going to try more! This will certainly BBQ! The Alfredo Sauce picked up a good amount of smoke and it goes very well with the creamy taste of the sauce, I will definitely be doing this one again!

  Will it BBQ? Pineapple!

  n this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked.

  Prep Time

  Cook Time

  Ingredients

  1 Pineapple
  Excalibur’s Cinnamon Toast Shake

  Utensils Needed

  Pineapple Corer

  Instructions Core your Pineapple, or slice it and remove the core if you don't have a corer, then cut it so they can lay flat on the grill. Sprinkle both sides of the Pineapple with Excalibur's Cinnamon Toast Shake and cook 5 minutes a side over high heat on your grill. Take off and serve warm. So, Will it BBQ?

  The grill is quickly becoming my favorite place to make dessert dishes because this was amazing! Don’t be fooled if your slices look dry when they come off of the grill, as soon as you bite into it you will know what we were talking about when we said it exploded!

  Will it BBQ? Peach Cobbler!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Peach Cobbler and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!!

  Prep Time

  15 Minutes

  Cook Time

  45 Minutes

  Ingredients

  1 large can of peaches
  1 box of plain white cake mix
  2 sticks of butter
  Excalibur Cinnamon Toast Shake

  Instructions Take a large foil pan, or any pan you are okay with putting on the grill, and empty your can of peaches into the bottom of that. Take your cake mix and sprinkle that on top of the peaches, making sure that the cake mix gets down into the spaces between the peaches. Cut your butter into slices about 1/2 " thick and lay them evenly across the top of the cake mix. Finally sprinkle with Excalibur's Cinnamon Toast Shake seasoning, use as much, or as little as you want but we added a lot because it works so well with any type of dessert dish. So, Will it BBQ?

  Most people do not think of the grill as something that typically produces desserts but they should! This was a dangerously delicious treat, the peaches, cake mix, butter and Cinnamon Toast Shake all went together beautifully and the hint of smoke that it picked up was a nice counterpoint to all that sweetness. So YES this will BBQ!

  Will it BBQ? Ketchup!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Ketchup and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  60 Minutes

  Ingredients

  Bottled Ketchup

  Utensils Needed

  Smoker

  Instructions Empty Ketchup bottle into a foil pan or a pot of some sort that you don't mind ruining. You want to try to spread it as thin in the pan to allow as much of the Ketchup to be exposed to the smoke as possible as the smoke will only penetrate the Ketchup about 1/8" of an inch. Smoked at 150° for 1 hour over your choice of wood, we chose apple wood chips. So, Will it BBQ?

  There are so many different types of mustard but not really many specialty Ketchups and now we know that this is a huge mistake on the condiment makers part! This picked up an excellent amount of smoke and it would be amazing on hamburgers, hotdogs or anything else you want to add even more of a grilled flavor to!

  Will it BBQ? Mustard!

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked.

  Prep Time

  5 Minutes

  Cook Time

  60 Minutes

  Ingredients

  Yellow Mustard
  Spicy Brown Mustard

  Utensils Needed

  Smoker

  Instructions Empty the contents of your mustard bottle into a shallow pan or pot you don't mind putting in a smoker. Try to spread it out thin so that as much of the mustard is exposed to the air as possible. The smoke will only penetrate about 1/8 of an inch past the surface so expose all you can to the smoke. So, Will it BBQ?

  There are all sorts of varieties of specialty mustard available, Dijon, Spicy Brown, Honey, the list goes on and on, however rarely if ever do you see smoked mustard and that is a shame because this was awesome! We spread it on some cheese, salami and crackers and it was wonderful! Both the spicy and the regular get an absolute YES on the question Will it BBQ?

  @raider2119
  We did Stuffed Jalapenos here but wrapped them in prosciutto instead of bacon and they were amazing! That’s been a few years though and we did not do any video on them so maybe it is time to try them again, with a test to see if they will freeze or not. My thought is that they will, the bacon or whatever we use will probably get soggy but I’ll check this out and hopefully will have a video in a few weeks. Thanks for the suggestion!

  Will it BBQ? !

  In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Avocado and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!!

  Prep Time

  10 Minutes

  Cook Time

  30 Minutes

  Ingredients

  2 Avocados, Medium Sized
  1 package of Bacon
  18 oz of Chorizo
  4 oz of cheese of choice

  Utensils Needed

  Tongs or Heat Gloves
  Knives

  Instructions Split the avocado and remove the pit, then carefully remove the skin and fill the hole where the pit was with a cheese of your choice and close the avocado back up. Lay out some chorizo flat on a clean surface and roll the avocado in it so the entire avocado is covered and then wrap that in bacon! Now be very careful when you place this on the grill as it will want to come apart, the fats from the Chorizo and the Bacon will not adhere well to the outside of the Avocado so the bacon wrap must be tight to keep everything in place. Grill at 375 for about 30 minutes or until Chorizo and Bacon have reached desired level of doneness! Take off and slice and serve hot! So, Will it BBQ?

  We went a little “mad scientist” on this one and tossed everything but the kitchen sink at it. It was noted when we were done that since Avocados are already high in fat this was a fat (the cheese) inside of a fat (the avocado) wrapped in fat (Chorizo is high in fat) wrapped in fat (Bacon is obviously fatty) but even for the hell this probably put our arteries through it was well worth it as this was incredibly savory! This will most certainly BBQ, it was an incredibly tasty creation that was as fun to eat as it was to make!
