4 Essential Father’s Day BBQ Tips

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

Are you planning on having a Father’s Day BBQ? If yes, Kloby’s Smokehouse is here to help you make your Father’s Day weekend BBQ a huge success! Read now for a few smashing BBQ tips!

You have the perfect weather for this Father’s Day weekend. Now you just need the best BBQ meal! Here are just a few tips to follow before you start the grilling:

Have Good Cuts of Meat

When having a BBQ party, you want the best cuts of meat you can possible buy. You can customize any cut of meat. Locally raised meats are the most flavorful option you can obtain.

Be sure to grill all your meats with the bone and skin on it to make sure you get the best flavors from them.

Prep Properly Before Grilling

Before you start to grill this Father’s Day Weekend, be sure to use an oiled rag to clean and lubricate your grill prior to cooking. Your meat should be lightly oiled but do not oil it so much that it will cause huge flames.

The meat should be evenly salted so that flavors come out perfectly while your meat keeps its natural moisture. This will leave your meat perfectly browned as well.

Let Your BBQ Smoke

The best BBQs are the ones that are turned into a smoker. You can have your very own smoker by turning your BBQ to the lowest setting and putting a tray of hickory or apple wood chips on the bottom shelf. Make sure the wood chips smolder so they don’t ignite. Wild sockeye salmon is great to smoke for Father’s Day.

Keep It At Room Temperature

Before you grill, make sure all meats are at room temperature and once put on the BBQ, do not constantly move and pick at it.

The best BBQ meats are the ones with a nice char or crust on it. If you wait right before serving to cut the meat, you will retain the most juices and flavor from your meat.

How To Make Traditional Bacon / Sausage and Eggs and Toast

Did you know you could grill your bacon, sausage, eggs, and toast? You can! Preheat the grill and cook your bacon/ sausage and eggs. Toss your toast with butter.

You can add ham slices in muffin tins and top with a mixture of beaten eggs, salt, pepper, ¼ cup milk, chopped onions and peppers. Top the mixture with shredded cheese. Place the muffin tin in an aluminum pan with ¼ cup of water and cover the pan with foil. Cook low heat until egg set. It is approximately 45 minutes.

The next thing to do is make some BBQ fruit to get your morning started right. Mixed fresh fruit is always a health choice to grill. Use firm fruits like pineapples, pears, apples and bananas. Cut the fruit and soak it in water so that it can absorb as much liquid as possible and stay juicy while grilling. Cover the fruit in cold water and pure lemon juice.

The fruit should soak for 30 minutes. Add ice to keep the water cold and cinnamon to the water to give your fruit a spice flavoring.

Here are some other breakfast food you can have from the grill:

-Carolina Frittata. Open-faced omelet filled with pulled pork, home fries, and cheddar jack cheese, drizzled with Carolina BBQ Sauce, grilled Texas toast.

The first thing you need to do when having a family barbeque (BBQ) is to set a definite date for the event. A popular location for a family BBQ is the backyard. If your family is too large to hold an event like this in your backyard, plan your event at a park or campground.

Once you create the men, set the food budget and ask attendees to bring a dish as well.

If you are going to ask attendees to bring a dish, recommend them to bring an appetizer or dessert. A good example of a dish an attendee can bring is fruit salad.

Finally, send out invitations in advance by phone, email or mail. It is recommended you request an RSVP to plan out the proper amount of food available.

If you have recreational activities available for guests such as swimming, mention in the invitation to bring a bathing suit.

Here are a few items you must have for your family BBQ:

-        Cups

-        Utensils

-        Plates

-        Napkins

How To Cook For An Easter BBQ Dinner

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

Want to get creative with your Easter Dinner? If yes, you should have an Easter Barbeque (Easter BBQ). This article will provide you Easter BBQ ideas to make this Easter a wonderful gathering with family and friends.

An Easter BBQ Dinner might be the best choice for your Easter Dinner if you love being outdoors during the beautiful spring. The best part about an Easter BBQ Dinner is that you do not have to sacrifice your Easter Dinner favorite dishes to cook on the grill.

Here are just a few dishes you can keep for your Easter Dinner BBQ:

 Easter Ham

Almost any kind of ham can be cooked on the grill. It is recommended that cooks use a pre-cooked, boneless ham on the grill because it only needs to be heated and browned.

Before putting the ham on the grill, season it. A mixture of brown sugar and honey can make an excellent coating for your ham, leaving it with a nice crust.

An Easter Ham should be cooked on indirect heat and the grill lid closed. On average, a ham should cook on the grill for 90 minutes or until heated through. To make sure your ham remains moist while cooking, occasionally spritz every 20 minutes on lemon-lime soda or apple juice.

Easter Lamb

If you enjoy eating lamb, there is no reason to leave the dish out of your Easter BBQ Dinner.  Lamb chops are very easy to cook on the grill. You only need to sprinkle salt, pepper, and brush some oil on your chops before grilling. The lamb only needs to cook for 10 minutes or until the lamb reaches 160 degrees F.

You can also cook a lamb roast. The best lamb roast to cook on the grill is boneless, butterflied leg of lamb. This roast usually weighs two to three pounds.

The roast is cooked over direct heat. Preheat your grill to 350 degrees and season your meat before cooking. Place your lamb roast on a slightly oiled grill and close the lid. The lamb roast usually cooks for 40 to 45 minutes. Before removing from the grill be sure that the lamb has a temperature that is at least 160 degrees.

Once cooked, the lamb should be foiled. Do not slice it until it has sat for about 10 minutes.

For any side dishes you may want to serve with the main course, you can prepare them indoors. If you won’t have access to an oven, serve cold dishes of potato salads, pasta salads, green salads, and vegetable casseroles.

If you want an Easter BBQ Dinner without the fuss, let Kloby’s Smokehouse do the BBQing for you. We are known for great food and service in a casual dining atmosphere. Kloby’s serves up the best smoked Pulled Pork (served Carolina-Style), Beef Brisket, Ribs, Chicken and all of your favorite “made from scratch” sides.

How To BBQ And Grill During Cold Weather

Friday, March 16th, 2012

Have you ever planned a Barbeque (BBQ) party and thought the forecast was going to be beautiful weather, but it turned out to be cold weather? If yes, we are here to tell you that you will never have to cancel another BBQ Party just because cold weather comes your way. We have some grilling tips to get you through those cold weather days! Read for useful grilling tips.

Pick A Good Spot For Cold Weather Grilling

When grilling in cold weather, you want to always place your grill in an area protected from the wind. Great areas to place your grill are close to your house where windy does not hit and the corner of your back porch.

If you are grilling on your porch, make sure it is not an enclosed porch because your house could catch on fire or your health could suffer from the fumes.

Use Extra Fuel For Cold Weather Outdoor Cooking

When the weather is cold, the heat of your grill can be greatly impacted. Use ceramic cookware to insulate your food to keep the food at appropriate temperatures.

Whatever amount of fuel you would use for summer grilling, use about ½ more than that for cold weather grilling. If your gas is low during cold weather, you will be able to tell because you will see a thin coat of ice marking the gas level.

Warm Up Your Grill In Advance

When it is cold, it will take your grill more time to warm up. Remember food sticks on cold grates. You will not get a sear if your grates are not hot.

For the best grilling results, put down the lid on your grill with the vents open. Have the fire going and allow the grill to get hot. You should preheat your grill for 15 to 20 minutes prior to grilling.

If you do not want to grill in the cold but still want a delicious grilled meal, let Kloby’s Smokehouse is known for great food and service in a casual dining atmosphere. Kloby’s serves up the best smoked Pulled Pork (served Carolina-Style), Beef Brisket, Ribs, Chicken and all of your favorite “made from scratch” sides.

BBQ Catering: 4 Springtime Grilling Must-Knows

Friday, March 9th, 2012

Are you starting to prepare for your springtime grilling? If yes, we are here to help by providing four tips on grilling for your springtime BBQ!

There is no better way to welcome spring than having your own delicious BBQ party. Just picture yourself celebrating nice weather while eating delicious ribs, juicy chicken and flavorful burgers!

To make your springtime party a success, you need to properly cook your food. Meat that is challenging to grill outdoors is chicken. Often amateur chefs burn more than they serve. One tip to follow to prevent chicken from burning is to use a digital thermometer to help you identify when to turn your chicken and always avoid leaving your grill unattended.

Here are four tips to keep your guest bellies satisfied while saving them from food poisoning:

Avoid Using Your BBQ Fork

Yes, don’t use your BBQ fork to poke, prod or pierce your meat. When you do this with your BBQ fork it drains out your natural juices from the meat making your meat dry and removing the natural flavors from your meat. Your guests deserve better meals.

 Season Both Sides Of Your Meat

Have you ever had a burger that tasted great on one side but bland on the other? If yes, it is often because the chef forgot to season both sides. Do not forget to season ever!

 Never Overcook Your Meat

Yes, it is okay to cook your food well done. What is not okay is overcooking. Again, this is when the thermometer comes in handy. The best meals are the ones that are slowly cooked and not rushed. Low and slow is the best policy for grilling.

 Keep Fire Safety In Mind

Accidents happen.  It is okay. What is not okay is not being prepared to extinguish problems. Always make sure you keep a fire extinguisher close by your grill. You do not want the most memorable moment of your party being you going to the emergency room.

For the best springtime grilling results, hire Kloby’s Smokehouse!

Kloby’s Smokehouse is known for great food and service in a casual dining atmosphere. Kloby’s serves up the best smoked Pulled Pork (served Carolina-Style), Beef Brisket, Ribs, Chicken and all of your favorite “made from scratch” sides.
