More Smoking Fun!! - cjs - 08-21-2008 I picked up a book Smoke It!! by Paul Kirk used on Amazon for about $.05 + shipping (how can they do that???) and there was a recipe in it for smoking a leg of lamb. That just went into the smoker with hickory chips. Also, Tracie (madmax) and I were talking about all the things to try in the smoker and she came up with our family's favorite baked beans (Bud's Beans), so I have 1/2 the recipe in the oven and 1/2 smoking with the lamb. Will be interesting to see how we like it. I'm so glad some of you got me going and replacing the smoker that made me stay away to a smoker that is fun to work with - Maryann especially. Thanks! Re: More Smoking Fun!! - Harborwitch - 08-21-2008 This is what I told Bob I want for my birthday present! It's funny you mentioned the leg of lamb. We were remembering the first Superbowl party we had. We smoked a leg of lamb over cherry wood chips and almond wood. We ate some of it, luscious, and the rest went into a smoked lamb and black bean chile for the party. One of the best chiles ever! Re: More Smoking Fun!! - Old Bay - 08-21-2008 I've seen that--it's on my wish list too!!! Re: More Smoking Fun!! - Harborwitch - 08-21-2008 Walmart has them for 98.99!!!! HeeeeHeeeee! I may be smoking this weekend. Wonder how many neighbors will either want to be our best friends or want to kick our a$$es???? Re: More Smoking Fun!! - cjs - 08-21-2008 Looks just like mine - we got it at Sears. darn, just after I had the chips soaked, I saw the Cherry wood chips in the shed. Well, there is another leg of lamb in the freezer!! I hope you get it Sharon - not much we want that we don't, is there???? Re: More Smoking Fun!! - Mare749 - 08-21-2008 That sounds fabulous, Jean. Let us know how it turns out. We've been meaning to try that. And I'm curious about the beans also. Haven't done that one yet either. Re: More Smoking Fun!! - Harborwitch - 08-21-2008 why is that good cooks are spoiled rotten???? Is it those cute "puppies" we married and spoiled rotten??? Bob said; "It's not a very feminine gift." Uh, okay a new fishing pole and reel!!! I can't wait; smoked cheese, smoked salt, brisket, chicken, duck, sausages, oooooh the list is getting long!!! Re: More Smoking Fun!! - luvnit - 08-21-2008 Oh that smoker looks amazing! I'd love to have one and smoke my own salmon, turkey, etc. Let us know how you like it (err, e-hem, when it arrives) Re: More Smoking Fun!! - Harborwitch - 08-21-2008 What was that song from Annie????? Tomorrow Tomorrow! I hope, Saturday at the latest. I forgot about smoked fish. Did I mention turkey?? Leg of lamb??? Re: More Smoking Fun!! - cjs - 08-22-2008 The lamb is fantastic!!
