Trying goat for the first time (using my DCBE)

OBTW.... T²'s rub is very good even on goat!

Hey Tim there's your catch phrase "It's so good it even makes goat taste great"! ;D ;D

The meat was good had lots of smoky goodness. Now the texture is not as good as pulled pork but close. It reminds me of pulled beef that's just a tad tough but borderline on being very good. I will smoke the other hunk of meat I have but I want to talk to my friend first to see what he thinks.

Thanks Sonny, Chris and Tim for all the input!

Old men and old goat - what's the difference - all gristle and silver skin (oh I mean silver hair) My bad! And like old men - old goat may need marinading in alcohol!

I think that pulled goat would make some fine tacos.

he said best smoked goat he has ever had! (only smoked goat he has had) ;)

As long as he is happy then you should be happy. Sounds like you have a new supplier of Goat. Need to get one and make some snausage out of him.

I think some one has it posted in there sig that if you can catch it you can smoke it. Figures that you catch a goat it can be smoked. ;D I have enjoyed this thread. Not sure if I will ever try it but glad to know it can be done.

Believe me you need to try one!

Just remember to brine 24 hrs, then wash off put on a mustard slather and your rub and off to the smoker for a long ride!
