I had an unconventional recipe that turned out amazing and has since been my goto recipe: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1157724/meatballs-lots-of-pic#latestDunedin, FL

I've used "grandma maronis meatballs" recipe from a bobby flay throwdown episode a few times. It turns out well and you don't have to sauté them. They only use beef but I've put in pork too.Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle

@henapple
Good day brother Apple. Let me say that the recipe that @yzzi shared above is excellent. The only thing I modified on his recipe was I gave the meat balls a 1 hour indirect smoking with pecan at 150 degrees first and substituted the healthy stuff with tasty unhealthy stuff. This isn't necessary just something that I like to do. Smokey meatballs are awesome in my book. Also you should not smoke at 150 as it's not proper. I do it because I'm old and hard headed. Looking back, I didn't thank @yzzi for sharing this fine recipe. I would like to rectify this now. @yzzi thank you for sharing and posting your meatball recipe and technique my friend. I really enjoy it sir.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
@yzzi did you preheat skillet first, any oil in skillet? or just cold meat balls, cold pan and on The Egg?
Thank You

I do meatballs quite often on the egg. I make them big, (size in between a golf ball and a baseball), get about 12 balls per 2 lbs of meat. Egg them indirect (placed directly on the grid) at 400 for about 15-20 minutes (about 160 internal temp). Fantastic!Packerland, Wisconsin

@SGH thanks for the rectification, glad you enjoyed them, even though I'm convinced the "healthy" ingredients yield a very tender and moist meatball. But I"m with ya on substituting the unhealthy things since I do that all the time. Happy wife happy life, and in this case, in worked out well in my favor.@lkapigian I usually heat the skillet and lightly oil the first batch that I do. There ends up being enough grease that the subsequent batches don't need any oil. I usually do my meatballs pretty small, but if you wanted larger I would probably sear them first and then let them go indirect until they come to temp. But yes, I heat the skillet then sear until they are well browned and cooked to an appropriate temp. I'm pretty sure though that I've thrown meatballs in a cold skillet and let it all come up to temp without any noticible differences. I recommend a hot pan though unless you wanted more smokey flavor then do what @SGH did.Dunedin, FL

I normally do meatballs indirect @350 with a little pecan to get a little smoke.

I don't have a meatball recipe but I do make a grilled meatball sandwich with meatballs I buy from the butcher counter at my local market. Grilled raised direct at about 450* until about 145*. Cut in half and put on sliced Italian bread, add sauce and cheese, back on the Egg until the cheese melts. Makes a fantastic sandwich.Bloomfield, NJ

The secret to great meatballs is adding a little spagetti sauce and brown sugar to the mix. Make them how you want then add the sauce and brown sugar. Give it a try you can thank me later...The Gator Nation, Central FloridaLARGE & MINI Life is good...GO GATORS!!!

Add them like they are ingredients, into the mix. It will help with moisture and with binding.henapple said:On top, in the mix?
Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
