Thx Mickey. I don't eat many of them as they're not exactly healthy but my co-workers are pretty obsessed with them. I like that they're easy to make in the AM before heading to the office.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

These have become the favorite appetizers at our cookouts and tailgate outings. I've got 8 grandsons so you can imagine how many I have to make to feed that crew.Yours look great.

So basically all you do is wrap a meatball with bacon, cook till the bacon is crispy, add BBQ sauce, then caramelize the sauce? Are you cooking to a desired temp? I might have to give these a try and sent some of those to my wife's work this year.

That's pretty much it Dave in FL. Store bought frozen meatballs (about 1/2 oz sized), thawed a few hours in the fridge (hard to push a toothpick or skewer through if it is completely frozen), wrapped with a 1/2 piece of bacon, and lightly dusted with your favorite BBQ rub.
Cook either indirect around 280 degrees grid temp with a drip pan or raised direct at around 260 degrees grid temp.
Smoke over a fruit wood of your choice and cook for around 75-90 minutes (until the bacon has reached your desired crispiness). If you used frozen meatballs, they were already cooked so you don't really worry about the meatball IT. If you make your own fresh meatballs from raw meats you'll want to check their temps.
Dip the MOINKs into BBQ sauce or brush sauce onto them. Cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
Pretty easy.
