You can kind of see from this picture how I did it. I cut all the way to the bottom of the tail then I injected them with butter. \

I do lobster tails somewhat the same, except i cut the top as mentioned, pull the meat out and lay over the tail, use butter, a tad bit of rosemary, and a slight injection of cajun/garlic butter. they turn out fantastic!

I really like the idea of injecting the tails with butter. Never thought of doing that before. Don't know why it is so simple. Thanks Ross.

Al, you've done a whole one? I want to do one of these on my Weber Kettle with the AMNS and not sure how

Suggestions?

Hate to rub it in but I go out front into the bay and nab these - found a real "honey hole" so to speak

If you send a few of those I'm sure I can come up with something.

I'm still waiting for one of our Texas members to say, "Hey, Where'd y'all get the Crawdaddy?"

Caribbean Spiny Lobster - no claws!  (Island Craw-dad)  The legs are actually large enough to get some meat, so we shall see how the next one does on the weber.  I'll post up a thread when I attempt.  Guess even if it turns out bad it will still be dang good.   

wood suggestion?  I have the usual suspects at hand thanks to Todd   Apple, Hickory, Alder, Cherry,...MDF, Sauder furniture...whatever it takes! lol
