Australia day lamb shoulder

[natej]

Well today 26th Jan is a national public holiday in the land of OZ, we celebrate Australia day which is the landing of the first British fleet in 1788 and the birth of our great nation.

The nations tradition is to eat lamb, here is one of the older commercials that get put into circulation around Australia day



Pulled lamb is on the menu today, smoked on the stick burner over redgum at 275 - 300 unwrapped the whole time and rubbed with some salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, fennel seed, thyme and rosemary

At 203 it was probing super tender so into a cooler to rest.. there isn' really much too it, they cook exactly the same as a pork butt

Some tzatziki made by the first lady of the house and dinner is complete

Cheers to our Australian pals on they're national day. (Toasting you all with my beer).

I have very little experience with lamb but that is an exceptional looking cut of meat and what you and your lady did with it looks fantastic. Thumbs up to you both.

You really should try it, I find that we never use a finishing sauce because the flavor of the lamb we love and the fat keeps it nice and moist

That's some Jumbuck mate! Tell the first lady she did great with the Tzatziki also :D

Haha will do mate! Cheers

Thanks mate! I was wondering one day that if the shoulder on a pig and a cow can be cooked to pull then why not a lamb? Tried it and haven't looked back! It truely is my favourite way to eat lamb.. my wife loves making sauces and her tzatziki is SO much better than store bought

Anybody else just have their "gotta make that" list just get longer? Looks outstanding! Great work.

Haha mine seems to get longer every time I visit this site! Cheers mate

Thankyou sir! We sure do love lamb.. it is a staple for lots of Aussies, every single butcher and supermarket has entire lamb sections

Agree with all of the above.
Nice plate.

Ahh yeah cant go outside on Australia day without smelling lamb on a Barbie somewhere cooking

OOOOOH! Man that looks great! Yum! Great looking bark! Points!

Thanks mate! I love the way the lamb fat renders and mixes with the rub.. sensational

Cheers to our Australian pals on they're national day. (Toasting you all with my beer).

Haha cheers my friend! Lamb has a very unique flavor, the shoulders cook virtually identical to pork butts except the fat is a little more greasy

I wanted to try this today so yesterday I picked up a package clearly marked "lamb shoulder". I got it prepped and put it on the smoker just now. However, there were more bones than I have seen in any of the pictures of lamb shoulder. I check the package again and it says lamb shoulder "chop ready", did I get ribs? Either way the thing is already on the smoker, but will this still work for pulled lamb?
