Goat Shoulder

Smoking a goat shoulder for tomorrow night. Will put on around 8:00 AM. I think it'll take about 6-7 hours. It weights about 6 lbs. Fresh killed and Hallal.

I'll cook it over maple charcoal with soaked pecan shells, star anise and cinamon sticks.

Love goat...can't wait to see the final product!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

That looks pretty sweet! Haven't really had goat yet, but that is making my mouth water.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Well... It finished a little sooner than expected. Here's a picture of it finished. I have it covered in cello until 6:00 PM when I'll slice it.

Looks damn tasty!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Whew. That improved dramatically from the smoke only shot earlier.
I'd love to taste that.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I took a little taste off the edge. Very mild and tender. For those who do not eat goat, it has a milder flavor than lamb. I thought it would take longer to cook. Will try to take a post sliced picture.

May not be the perfect place for this but....

I have a nice gas grill and dont want to have to get a smoker. Seriously considering getting a Sams Smoker Pro ... http://samssmoker.com/smoker-pro/sams-smoker-pro.html

Anyone have any experience with this? Anyone know of a better way to go about smoking using a gas grill?

Thanks in advance for the input :tu

I smoked some baby backs today. Completely forgot to take pics. :dr

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I used to do somethng similiar on a gas grill ages ago it's no different than a big chip box or a few foil logs of chips on the lava rocks.

In comparason to the plain gas, it will add A LOT of flavor, but not the same as a wood or charcoal smoker.

Will it work? Abolutely.

Will it taste like a charcoal or log burning smoker? Nope.

Will it taste good? Yes.

Is it easy as heck to use? You betcha.

Can you duplicate it with a cast iron pan from the local thrift store for $5 ior less and some foil across the top with a few holes punched in it? Yup.

Pulled a rack of Denver ribs out of the freezer saturday, cooked them yesterday.

The garlic paste/slather is a mixture of fresh garlic (like 8-9 cloves), fresh rosemary, fresh Thai basil, three fresh cayenne peppers, thyme, oregano, black pepper, kosher salt, paprika, OO and some wet tamarind paste.

OMG!!!! :dr:dr:dr:dr:

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Looks very tasty Adam. Good job.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Check this thread to see the Soldering Iron / Tin Can cold smoker. It's a heck of a lot cheaper, and is doing the same thing.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I may have mis-understood your question, but there is only a substitute way of smoking
that involves a gas grill. All of em are a poor substitute for the real thing. You CAN
smoke in a gas grill just by using a smoker box with chips in it. For some reason I just
do not like the results in a gas grill. If I had NOTHING, I would not be choosy, but
I do have a 'smoker' It is not a real smoker either, but a grill using indirect heat and smoke
envelopment. I put my ribs against anyone on the circuit, tho. I might not win, but they
would need a change of underwear. But if all you can do is light the burners on one side
and stack your meat on the other, and place a box of chips over the burners on the hot side,
you are essentially doing what I do, but without charcoal.
