    Feta - ugh people eat that?
    Blue - love a good English Stilton Blue. Don't smell it. Eat it.

    Nothing wrong with goat just pick the right animal and treat it like lamb.

    Used to eat a lot of it until moving to CNI, haven't yt found many on public land down here.

    You name it we tried it as far as recipes and to be honest I think alot of it is used for curry because that tends to be the "go-to" for them.

    Think a more mellow smoke would be better rather than hammering it long term though.

    Ill be fair @timattalon not all blue cheeses are created equal.
    I remember the ones from the supermarket cheese platters. Exactly like you describe.
    Went to one of the Hunter valley wineries one day and tried theirs. Way better. I can actually eat it.
    Missus found a blue Brie other day. That's not too bad either.
    My fussy mate even liked it and hoovered a heap up

    Easy man, If you want to roast a rear leg, Shoot a nice young animal then treat it like a Lamb leg. Get it going over indirect heat on the weber at around 160 and just roast it till its done to medium. Basting never hurts but you don't have to do it.

    If you want mega smoke flavours ,go low and slow roast the shoulders & Shanks. Get a dry rub going with whatever tastes good then baste every hour with something moist that compliments your rub. For lamb I baste with dripping using a tied rosemary stalk brush. For pork I like sweeter flavors so use a a spray with 2/3 apple juice 1/3 cider vinager.

    Aim to cook at 110 for about 6 hours with the second half of that time in a baking paper or tinfoil wrap. Pull when its fork tender. Can eat like pulled pork or slice and serve

    Te kuiti isn't far from turangi. Plenty of goats around there.

    I was going to try and use a softer wood than manuka.

    Maybe some beer to baste it with. Usually have plenty of goat to experiment with.

    Cheers for the cooking time too. Sometimes it can be hard to get it right.

    I've seen those. They're awesome. So versatile.

    @Nick-D Last time I tried that we could not carve it. It was so dam tender the sharp knife just pushed it off the bone into a pile. I just cooked a Venison casserole as a treat and I am starting to wish I had cooked a goat up......Dam you all........

    When smoking man rule of thumb is cook till its done. A good thermometer takes the guess work away. Red meat like goat can handle a good robust smoke so don't be afraid to use a stronger wood

    A kind doc lady told me of a few places. There is a few threads about leitch's clearing. It is well known but always seems to be goats around. I've not been there personally but we can go I if you like.

    I have a digital meat thermometer so should be well equipped.

    Do you ever find it goes bitter? I was told that chicken is susceptible to talon gin the smoke flavour quote easily and getting a bit bitter.

    Ime bitter is usually a symptom of too much smoke rather than a robust flavoured smoke. That being said to robust a smoke on a delicate flavoured meat and the smoke flavour overpowers it.

    Goats pretty robust though so will take most things. Just use what you have on hand as long as it is considered a good smoking wood. Given the choice go something with a little sweetness, hickory or apple are both yum with lamb or goat

    Iv definitly over smoked things before
    a beef brisket and rolled roast

    it wasnt bitter just waaaaaay too smokey I could only eat a small portion of it before discarding the rest to the dog, who buried it
    I think a more wood coal cook is a better way next time and let the smoke happen naturally
    like a lamb (goat) on the spit type set up
