Primo Smoked BBQ Meatballs

A true crowd pleaser, making Smoked BBQ Meatballs on a Primo Ceramic Grill couldn’t be easier.  BBQ Rub, BBQ Sauce, and a kiss of smoke will elevate your favorite meatball recipe out of your oven to be a new backyard BBQ favorite.

Start with your favorite meatball recipe - just hold whatever salt is recommended. Add a tablespoon of your favorite BBQ rub and two tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce per pound of meat. We used 4lbs here.
