Re: Cooking onboard

Your options are almost limitless. Depending on how much time you want to sit at anchor or at the sandbar that is.

We have set up the grill on the pontoon and put baby backs on it only coming back every so often to check on the fire and give them a flip. (And make sure the boat was still there)

If we don't have someone to take the toon out, or we are going away, we just set the small grill up on the beach and cook smaller quantities.

We cook on the boat just as we would at home on the patio.
We're talking garlic bread, beans, and good meat.

Chops don't take too long on a good fire, nor do brats (even less if you boil them up in some beer and onions the night before). Use your imagination and don't be scared.

So, I guess the only limits would be room for another cooler or room in the cooler and the size of your grill.

+2 on the sky's the limit.
We do a lot of preping at home as well, it is so much nicer to grab a prepped container empty it on the BBQ or a pot on the coleman stove.
Drop on's are great, aluminum foil filled with potatoes, onion's, mushrooms, carrots, ETC.

Re: Cooking onboard

Before I saw who asked the question or where you were from. I looked at what you asked and thought, I have only heard people refer to hotdogs as "hots" from one place lol.

A couple of suggestions:
1) Cook beans on the grill in the can w/ the lid off - to your desired temp
2) Cook corn still inside of the husks, ~30+ mins (best way to cook corn)
3) Chicken marinated in Speedy sauce for a couple of days.
4) Salmon marinated in lemon juice, put on a cedar bored with a quick rub of Olive Oil and Cajun Seasoning sprinkled liberally.
5) Potatoes can go directly on the grill, but will take a long time, (use fork to determine if properly cooked)
6) Steak w/ or w/o being marinated, seer it a couple mins on each side.

Important note:
1) A must! Use a temp. Alarm. It will cost you about $15 and make your food cook perfectly.
2) Cook to 5 degrees short of your desired temp as it will hit it w/ carry over.
3) Let meats sit for 10min in aluminum foil to let the juices settle.

Good luck!

There is a secret to cooking chicken on the bbq and not burning it.
If it is a two burner use only the cold side for the meat, the other burner is on high.
If a single burner cook the chicken over a pan filled with water, no fat flash burn's.

i posted this a while back in this thread. Grilling Recipes on the Boat

chicken cutlets grill up super quick. zip lock with whatever marinade your into. or grab a top round london broil and slice it raw. get a pack of bamboo skewers and make steak on a stick. you can split em up and marinate in a couple different flavors. rare and well done folk are both pleased. or bbq sauce either one while cooking. a thin pork loin with 1 inch wide slices 3/4 through rubbed down with jerk seasoning cooks fast as well. lastly here is one of my favorite concoctions. i call them paulies triple hots. hot sausage pattys bbq'd with a mix of Sweet Baby Rays HOT & SPICY bbq sauce and some tabasco or other hot sauce mixed in. top with a slice of mozzarella and let melt. serve on a potato roll with sliced hot and sweet banana peppers on top. yeah, i like to eat.

Re: Cooking onboard

I've heard short grouper cook up pretty well with a little garlic and butter onboard... :lol:

I'm just kidding... I can never resist making that comment on threads like this. You can't help but think it when you're throwing them back.

Re: Cooking onboard

I make up shrimp scampi at home or some other stir fry. Put it in a Zip Lock and bring a wok with you on the boat. Take the gill great off and heat it up... BANG.. your a chef.
