I will be so GrillinFool. Serve with a salad of course.

Other than that, I like grilled green onions, grilled mushroom caps (upside down of course), grilled zucchini and squash, whatever is cheap and fresh in the summer.
If you ever grill with white people, gochujang pork bulgogi is always a huge hit and cheap to make if you need a lot of cheap protein that doesn't suck, and you can make it the night before and just bring it over well-chilled in a container. Have your red leaf lettuce, have some other stuff to go in your ssam, hand out the chopsticks, non-Korean people love that stuff more than Korean people maybe.

you know what. I think i'm going to go with the dweji bulgogi idea. i think i have some gochujang chilling in the back of my fridge. what cut would you use?

i'd love to smoke a brisket, but the grills dont have covers and i dont think the park opens at 5 am

this does not sound like it would taste good, but kind of curious....

just buy loins, you know the cut the doesn't particularly matter, but leaner would be better in this case. Save the fattier stuff for eating non-marinated. Break it down into bite sized pieces, find a recipe online that includes gochujang, some rice wine or sake, honey, a lot of green onions, ginger, garlic, some sesame seeds, etc. If you have the gochujang then you can put together way more than a few pounds for twenty bucks. Get other people to bring the red leaf lettuce. Get some other stuff to put in your ssam if you like.

Mark Bittman had a recipe for DIY korean bbq that looked quite doable.

I don't know if I'd consult Mark Bittman on my bulgogi issues.

Thinking about it I don't think any of the grills have a lid. I might just bring the small grill my friend left behind as that has a lid and smoke something on it.


Any recipes for smoked briskets?

I have a Hasty Bake Legacy...you don't want that if you're a poor college student, but when you have arrived, I'd highly recommend it.

You don't get the smoke flavor that you get on a smoker obviously, and that is huge. But living in an apartment I do this sometimes. You have to make up for the lack of smoke, so I make my own sauce with a ketchup/vinegar base and work in some dried smoked peppers.

Easy and cheap way to feed a lot of people. And decent BBQ is still pretty good.

Nothing like Hasty Bake grills. I have forever used my dad's HB Gourment. Its simply an incredible grill. About every 8 years, we have to install new charcoal rails and a new charcoal box, at a total cost of probably $100.

As I am moving from a condo to a house, I am going to pick up my own finally. It is also really nice buying directly from HB as they are headquartered in my home town (Tulsa, Oklahoma).

Oh, and in spirit of the thread, we make chicken wrapped in bacon, stuffed with cilantro and jalapeno a lot.

Pretty easy, pound out chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, lime juice, inside and out, place a few stems/sprigs of cilantro plus 1/2 a jalapeno in the middle, roll chicken around the stuffing, and then wrap in bacon, use toothpicks on both ends to secure the package, repeat. Cook on a lower temp grill as its difficult to get the bacon fully rendered and just crisp, while getting the chicken internal temp up sufficiently. Practice makes perfect, and tastes great.

If cook too hot, you will end up with blackened/burned bacon (due primarily to flare ups caused by fat dripping) and a raw chicken. Not too tasty.

Came up with this last summer:

peel and chop a couple of sweet potatos. Wrap them up in tin foil with a little butter and a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. You will probably want to pull about half the peppers out or it will be too hot for most people. Serve that **** with sour cream. ******* delicious.
