Moink Balls

[Blue Dog BBQ]

OK I'm making Moink Balls and the recipe says the cook time is 25 mins. So what is your recipe and cook time? Thanks

That can be a tricky one . Is the bacon raw, are they Sam's meatballs and precooked, are you starting from scratch, etc.

The Moink Ball world can get very picky. Some folks go absolutely crazy if you don't use Sam's meatballs and therefore, they aren't Moinks, etc.

I really don't care but this is a way back thread for me and may give you some insight:

Abel speaks the truth... variables?

OK I used raw ground beef and raw bacon more or less meatloaf balls wrapped in bacon.

25 MAY be OK depending on temps. Your final temp must be 165 min. As important is the crisp on the bacon. Perhaps run them lower.. maybe in the 225 range and allw bacon to render. As it firms up..jump to 300 and finish for the crisp

Sounds like a good plan...

I did some using the Vortex the other day, 450 degrees, small sausage ones maybe the size of a quarter, 1/3 piece of thin bacon on them. 35 minutes and I think they were overdone. Tasted good though..

I had mount balls once but I went to the clinic and got some antibiotics. It's a lot easier to walk now....

I also did some sausage balls, not bacon wrapped, and they cooked really fast. I dried them oot a bit I think but still tasted good and went fast. I should have checked them 10 minutes earlier.... Oh well

How can you use precooked meatballs? I thought a moink was meat wrapped around a pineapple chunk then wrapped in bacon????
I use Wingman's recipe...

Pig and beef was my take. Anything else is just lipstick?
