Grell's Backyard BBQ

07/23/2024

The social media department is really on a roll with these reels lately, but I'm pretty sure our content creator doesn't understand how to use hashtags properly.

I hear the Glitter City Vol. Fire Dept. is having some pork at a lunch stand tomorrow.

07/05/2024

Rib day.

Some McCulloh Family Genetics Iowa chops over hickory and apple before being seared. Local pork over local hardwood!

Chris has some spots for pigs going to the locker in May. Give him a call at 563-249-1108 to get yours reserved.

Crazy winds? Seems like a perfect day to light the smoker.

Haven't been on here in forever, so I thought I'd make a post to let everyone know I still exist.

Another thing you might not know exists is a small town called Luther, IA, and in Luther is a BBQ joint we ate at today called Whatcha Smokin' BBQ + Brew that is serving the best BBQ brisket, turkey, and sausage that I've had in the state of Iowa.....besides what comes out of a certain backyard of course. It's definitely worth a trip if you find yourself in central Iowa.

Getting things started for the Central DeWitt Sabers Football team dinner tonight.

Well, another Goose Lake Fire Department BBQ Smoke Show has come and gone, and the Grell kids were nice enough to show up just in time to take credit for everything at the awards ceremony.
Thanks to my dad who after an entire day of BBQ and dealing with me was too exhausted to get out of the chair for a pic!

BBQ week continues with an early start for 40 pork butts this morning. Even had to get the trailer out for a couple briskets someone talked me into. Bonus secret seasoning video.

Austin, TX has a lot of things going for it.

It's at the top of many lists that rank things like quality of life and the health of the job market.

Austin is home to some of the country's healthiest people boasting 220 parks, 250 gyms, 30 swimming holes, many lakes, and numerous walking and hiking trails.

It's the live music capital of the world, and is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America.

I spent 4 days there earlier this week, and didn't know about any of those things until 5 minutes ago from a Google search....although the bats would've been cool to see.

What I had heard about was the BBQ in and around Austin. We spent four days there(and Lockhart) on a BBQ pilgrimage of sorts, and let me tell you - every one of these places lives up to the hype...some even surpass it.

Enjoy some pics from some of the most famous places in BBQ.

Let the BBQ crawl commence.

****Smoker is full!****

It's been a long time since I've done this, but the smoker is getting fired up on Saturday. I've got room for around 20 racks of spare ribs. If you want me to throw some on for you let me know by Friday night.
Unlike seemingly everything else in the world I can do these for for a lower price than the last 3 years.
$22/rack.
Pick up will be at 5:30.
As always, these are the real deal, cooked using local hardwood only.

Hi all. I've been working to get the BBQ stuff back into the swing of things after a long busy winter. I've got a few graduation parties that I'll be cooking for, so if you are thinking of having me do some stuff for you, or if you mentioned it months ago, get in touch with me so I can get it on my calendar.

I usually don't request pics with other men, but there was something about this guy's style that I couldn't resist. I'm not sure what it was, but he struck me as someone who appreciates the finer things in life.

01/24/2023

Had to make a pellet run. Cook day coming soon.

I'm still here! My social media guy has not been doing a very good job lately. Apparently he's been too busy hunting and helping with wrestling. Oh, and trying to get a shack built around the smoker. Once it's done it'll be much easier to cook in the cold and wind. Be watching for my annual wrestling rib fundraiser soon which will again be sponsored by Brian Steward- Thrivent !

Smoker is burning clean today!

* PORK BUTTS ARE GONE*

I'm cooking this Saturday, and have room for 4 more pork butts. Your choice of rub only or Carolina style which is chopped and tossed in a vinegar based sauce I make. Carolina is what I've been doing almost exclusively the past year or so. $35 each first come first served.

I'll also offer up some babyback ribs for $30/rack. I gotta limit them to 10 or so.

Comment below by 6pm this Friday to get some of the best BBQ in the greater Welton area.

Stuff WILL be ready to go at 5:30 pm Saturday.

1st place in beef ribs, mystery meat (beef tongue), & people's choice!

Cael holding down the fort at the 4th Annual: Goose Lake Fire Smoke Show BBQ Contest . Hopefully the judges know what in the hell they're doing this year.

We'll be back at the 4th Annual: Goose Lake Fire Smoke Show BBQ Contest this Saturday! Come check it out!

Day 2 fire getting started.

You may have noticed the video has no sound. I had to edit it that way. I think I need a new phone because in almost every video I make there's background noise that sounds just like some big fat S.O.B. is breathing right into the mic. Weird.

07/08/2022

Brisket's done.

07/08/2022

This weather is making me.....

07/06/2022

Short and sweet.... I'll be smoking Friday and Saturday.
Friday: pork butts $35
Beans $25/pan
Saturday: spare ribs $25/rack
Beans $25/pan

Orders will need to be in by 7 pm the day before.
Pick up at 5:00pm each day.

If you want some pulled pork, but don't necessarily want to eat it on Friday, let me know and I can package it in a Ziploc bag. Pulled pork is the only thing on these Facebook posts that I will sell with the intention of being reheated.

Also, I've got some jalapenos in the garden, so if you want a little spice in the beans let me know.

Well, I've finally had a chance to pull myself away from a busy schedule of watching One Bite pizza review videos and TikTok reels to see that tomorrow's weather forecast is too perfect to not fire up the smoker (not to mention I've finally been able to catch my breath from the publicity frenzy that followed being featured in the Country Living section of the Observer).
So, getting back to doing things with zero notice, I'll be cooking babyback ribs tomorrow, and if you want any let me know by 8pm tonight. I've got room for up to 30. They're $30/rack, ready by 5:30pm tomorrow, and it'll be a great day for a cold one by the smoker.

When you see Grell's Backyard BBQ did the meat for the grad party that you and your girl just rolled up to.
