Fired up the "Dragon" on Saturday to cook a lamb shoulder that I got off my mate who breeds Dorpers.
Went with a basic rub of salt, pepper, sumac, garlic powder, some mixed herbs and a bit of olive oil.
Got the temperature up to 110 C and put a few banksia pods on the charcoal for some smoky goodness
A few chunks of onion and some garlic cloves in the tray and on she went.
Was aiming for an internal meat temp of around 92 C so I knew it was going to take a while (12 or so hours).
Looking and smelling good so far.
Well like this breed of sheep when they are alive, this one was stubborn :/
14 hours in and it hit 89 C when I made the decision to rest it for a few hours in a pre-warmed esky.
Unwrapped it and was greeted with this
The bones virtually fell out on their own and the meat was so tender and moist.
My longest cook so far and was very happy with it.
Rumour has it there is another shoulder in mates freezer that may have my name on it so I guess it will have to be done "low and slow" as well
Cheers,
Billy.
