Try this next time you grill

[gassy]

So I’ve been experimenting with adding flavor to my grilled steaks for years. I’ve tried rubs, spices, marinades, etc. I’ve been getting in to adding wood chips lately and enjoy the mesquite chips you soak and add to the coals. My buddy recently gave me a big chunk of dried applewood that I chipped up and added to some ribs that I smoked and I liked the flavor. I’m rambling. Anyway, I recently had a brainstorm that produced really good results. I used to chew tobacco years ago wondered what flavor it would impart if added to coals during the grilling process. I experimented with Skoal Long Cut Wintergreen but it burned up rather quickly and I didn’t notice any added flavor. That’s when I my “A HA” moment and picked up a tin of the Skoal pouches. They are just moist enough and don’t burn up immediately. I used the Berry Blend from Skoal and I am REALLY stoked with the results. I added them directly to the coals about halfway through total grill time and then added 3 to each steak after grilling and wrapped them in tin foil for about 6 minutes. Really good. Just a hint of the flavor throughout the meat. My wife is a vegetarian but my kids loved them. My 6 yr old daughter damn near ate one of the pouches—she thought it was steak-- so take them off the plate before serving. I’m gonna try the Citrus Blend with pork next—thinking of rolling them up inside with some onion and jerk seasoning—I’ll report back.

Did you have any strange urges to listen to Hank Williams Jr. after dinner?

[slakjaw]

Lolz, I have been using wood chips for years. I am going to have to that. What an interesting idea!!!

[onewhippedpuppy]

What if you wrapped it with a pack of Lucky Strikes? Very creative idea, though I'm not sure if my wife would go for grilling with chew.

with the increase in tobacco tax starting today thats like a $20 tin of marinade.

You may also have added some of the less desirable aspects of tobacco to your meal. Consider health concerns...especially for the kids...

[dhoward]

Yes. Please think about the children.


I knew that would come up...

If you like tobacco flavored steaks, then I wonder what you would think about substituting dog poop.

Dude, I'm totally with you! Sometimes when I'm grilling filets, I'll first rub them with a Marijuana pesto and let them marinate for an hour or so before hitting the grill. The THC soaks into the meat and when you grill'em, it weeps out and carmelizes. Amazing !

[Gogar]

Or wait, is it "marijuaninate", I can't remember.

At least you don't have to light one up after dinner any more.

I just fill my salt shaker with cocaine.

What, are you too good for crack?
Sheesh, what a snob.

This strikes me as a very bad idea for children.

Compare to the saccharine, high fructose corn syrup and preservatives in all processed food - this might be considered health food.

But then again skoal sounds pretty much processed to me. You might want to try some mule train plug next time.. But that might taste kind of nasty.

And yes, one fork-full and the county is going to come take the kids..
