So... I've been torturing my co-workers for years with the food I've brought in in for years, right....
ABT's, MOINK, fatties, smoked turkey this, smoked beef that, grilled fish this, grilled pork that.....
You know the story. All the yummy things we talk about here, I bring for lunch at work.
Daily. :heh:
Well, the guy that sits directly to my left, close enough we literally rub elbows, has had enough.
The other day he asks me, "If I buy a leg of lamb, would you smoke it for me"?
"Sure, of course, no problem".
I've never smoked lamb. :shocked: But, I have no fear, as I have the Brethren to back me up, I have no worries. I looked at some older threads and gained a bunch of advice (although most of the images are gone :tsk.
So.... the this ol guy (mid 60's) get on the internet and finds a place in Indiana that is SUPER organic. They not only raise the lamb, they raise the grain they feed to the lamb. I was impressed at his internet skills, to say the least. While I surf all day long, he doesn't get on much.
So while he's got the "buy now" screen up, he asked what I would want as "payment".
"Oh... Nothing really. Maybe a shank, as they're only $8". (I'm a bit modest)
He said he was going to buy me a $60 boneless leg of lamb as payment for smoking his leg of lamb! :shocked:
I rejected his offer, as that's too generous, but he persisted. "Ok, fine". ray:
So Tuesday or Wednesday this coming week, I'll have two boneless legs of lamb. It'll be Sunday before I have a chance to fire up the smoker. Kinda worried about holding them that long. So I'd like thoughts on that one.
Otherwise, I think I might be ok on info, but I'm always willing to hear advise.
Photos will happen though, so don't worry about a payoff.
Cause... all threads in Q-Talk should have pics! :clap2:
