    Wood smoking goat

    Going for a goat hunt soon so after ideas.

    Anyone tried hot smoking a goat leg before? A work mate usually sprays apple juice onto his pork legs with great effect.

    So I thought I'd try something similar. But with some sort of spicy hot rub.

    Cheers.

    Yup... smoke the goat with your rifle, make sure its not laying anywhere near a watercourse, then walk away.

    Stinky blody things. Yuck.




    The worlds largest population of goat consumers disguise the flavour of the meat by nukeing it in curry. You probably can't go too far wrong with a good Vindaloo cooked over a smoky fire. I would think Manuka is too strong for goat meat so maybe maple would work well?

    couple years ago we had a summer worker that would cook a goat over embers. rubbed a lot of salt on it. had a fire going to one side and would put the embers under the goat so he could control the heat. the goat younger nanny was split down the middle then tie to a stake that was on about a 45 degree into the ground, every now and then they would rotate the goat by hand.

    If you want a wood smoke flavour, throw it in the cold smoker for a few hours to flavour it, then put it in an oven bag with a cup of mead and some herbs and spices to your liking and put it in the slow cooker on low hear for 8-10 hours. It will fall of the bone and be as tastie as.

    Cheers. I don't really have a cold smoker just an old weber. Might just have to hot smoke for 15 minutes and then off to the slow cooker.

    Cheers for the recipe

    yep condition is the deciding factor
    a young female thats in good knick is great
    a young male that is on good feed is pretty good too

    Iv cooked it on the fire when camping and as long as you are careful with not letting it burn it comes out good
    you cant do anything to a pissy smelling old goat worth carrying it out for
    I hate the goaty smell, cant even eat goat cheese tastes like the billygoat smells

    Feta and goat cheese are not the best, I agree, but Cannot eat? Blue cheese is the one I cannot eat. Smells like Vomit on toejam,. Chef at work put it into Mac n Cheese. Smelt like vomit, looked like vomit, tasted like vomit....I was half prepared to say, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it is probably a .......in this case, bowl of warm vomit for lunch.....

    And you are completely right, A young kid, male goat or semi mature nanny will cook up very well. We just do it like Lamb. Tender and falls off the bone. The billys are favoured by our local inidan neighbours as the curry matches the strong "Goaty" flavour of the Billy's.

    a creamy blue is divine, other stronger aren't palatable.

    Its all horses for courses I will without hesitation spit out goat feta like your first teenage girlfriend
