MOINKS & Grilled Asparagus

Most of you may not know what a MOINK is. It is a treat that was created by BBQ Grail, a frequent and skilled poster on the BBQ Brethren online forum. Basically, a MOINK is is an all-beef meatball (the "MOO") which is then wrapped in bacon (the "OINK"). Put them together, you have MOINK.

These were done on a Weber grill, but I usually do them in the smoker. Either way, tasty stuff! Here are my ingredients: pre-made beef meatballs, fresh bacon, some Hog Waller rub, and a BBQ sauce I created from tomato sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Sriracha, and a few other tasty goodies.


Each MOINK was made up using a half-piece of bacon, pinned around the meatball with a toothpick.


The MOINKs were put on the grill with indirect heat from an offset fore in the Weber kettle.


Once they were flipped, I added the fresh asparagus coated with olive oil, salt and cracked pepper.


Finished MOINKs!
