Moink Balls - hope you find them worth for certification

HI all,

good to see all the recipes and slightly differences between the Moink Balls!

Here is what I decided to go for:
Fresh minced meat, included onions, garlic, chili, herbs and a bit mustard.

For the grill, I had added whisky chunks to give them a more intense smoked flavour, tasted excellent!

Hope you find them worth for certification :)!

Best
Chris

Nice looking balls!

Sadly, this thread is over 3 years old and Chris doen’t Come by much, so there hasn’t been any certification for a while.

But,if he were here an sure that he would approve! :thumb:
 
Since it was labeled "BBQ Brethren "OFFICIAL" MOINK BALL certification, would it be possible for someone else to be the curator of a new thread with the same title? With a link to this one of course....


Just asking...

I took a coupla photos the last time I made MOINK's, but I thought Certification was a thing of the past. Nothing great. Costco premades. Cheap Bacon. A combo of a couple of seasonings and some Rapsberry-Cipotle BBQ sauce. Tasted pretty good though.

(not to mention I haven't looked into a new Photo hosting site since Photobucket went Pirate)
 
I'm glad this thread got revived! I was reading this the other day, but figured it was so old it wasn't a 'thing' anymore.
I am not volunteering, but would like to see the certification come back!
No offense to anyone, but I think store bought meatballs should be a disqualifying ingredient.
 
Yes but the rukes were modified. See the 2009 thread here.

With the valued permission of the BBQ Brethren Forum leadership the International MOINK Ball Appreciation Society (IMBAS) has been given permission to create an official MOINK Ball Certification Request Thread.

OFFICIAL MOINK Ball Rules:

IMPORTANT RULE CHANGE:

After careful consideration by the Governing Board of IMBAS the following rule change as been adopted, effective immediately.

1. MOINK Balls will be made with ALL BEEF meatballs, wrapped in PORK bacon. Seasonings, sauces and glazes are encouraged but not mandatory. In the past MOINK Balls were only made with pre-made, store bought meatballs. Due to the international appeal of MOINK Balls and the lack of availability, in some localities, of store bought pre-made meatballs, HOMEMADE meatballs will now be acceptable provided the meatballs are made with no other meat other than BEEF. The standard binding agents are approved. Keep in mind the beauty of MOINK Balls is simplicity. Don't get too fancy on the binders/fillers. (This rule change will forever be known as the NOSKOS Rule)

2. MOINK Balls must be cooked out of doors using a wood or charcoal fire. Balls cooked indoors or using a fuel source other than wood or charcoal can not be considered for certification. It is important to note that pellets that are made of wood are acceptable as a fuel source for MOINK Balls.

3. The use of the term MOINK Balls requires the proper capitalization. Failure to capitalize MOINK Ball will result in your application being denied.

Questions concerning these rules should be addressed in a PM to BBQ Grail. This thread will NOT be monitored constantly, for the most part only when a certification request is made.

This thread will be made a STICKY for easy referral and reference.

Should you have a previous certification request and you'd like a certificate send a PM to BBQ Grail along with the link to your original request.

All posts that are NOT Certification Requests in this thread will be removed by moderators on a regular basis. Or at least when they get around to it.

If I'm not mistaken, originally they had to be Frozen store bought to qualify for certification. LOL

The original MOINK Ball was made using store bought meatballs, so that is why they were required at the beginning. It’s MOINK Ball history :-D. But, as pointed out, the rules were relaxed to prevent squabbling :rolleyes: :becky: :thumb:

As far as reopening certification, someone would have to step up to ‘administer’ the certification and probably create a new certificate. We had a bunch of chit storms over certification in the past and I am not sure that it is worth revisiting, but if someone wants to take it on, more power to ya! :-D

I don’t see any reason to create a new thread, however. Lots of history in this one, even with the Photobucket screw job farking up some of the pictures.

There was a recent news article as well as a forum thread about the new
rules. With the recent Solar Eclipse, it was necessary to make some
changes to the rules.

The article stated that the Moink Balls, had to be actual balls. Sometimes
they are called Calf Fries, or Rocky Mountain Oysters. Beef balls are
the preferred meat of choice. If you can't afford the beef balls, then
there is a cheaper option of using Deer balls, and they are always
under a buck.

I will post a link to the recent article about this change, as soon as
I can find it.

I can’t believe that you had the balls to post that! :shocked: :rolleyes: :cool:

Oh, no..... I'm not worthy.... I was given my certification, possessed it for merely minutes, and had it stripped because I did not capitalize MIONK as per the rules. Now all I have is a screenshot of misery......:cry:

I'm definitely wanting to redeem myself though! :thumb:
 
Old certificate

Hey all,

funny to see that there still is demand from others about certificates and talking about it :)...

Does someone have old certificates as an example?
That we could try to make a new one?

Thanks
Chris

And that is one of the reasons that this has faded away...

BTW, It’s MOINK :becky:
 
Reminds me of Boy Scouts as a kid (Royal Order of the Big Dipper) and College (Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal)....

One tiny misstep and ya had to start all over...
