what is a good christmas gift for a person that is probably a 7-8/10 skill lever smoker?  meat is not a good suggestion, he is a meat snob and "has a guy" for all that.

A bottle of Jack.

Go to Smoke and Fire and get some rubs or marinades and stuff.

Grilled a leg of lamb last night for the first time.  Boned, butterflied, then marinated overnight in an olive/garlic/herb mixture.  Cooked at 400F direct to a 130F internal temp.

I've heard people say that they don't like lamb because of a weird taste/smell, but this was as good as any beef I've had.

I cook lamb chops all the time and I think they are delicious, they do have a weird smell though.

The Price Chopper by my house sells single lamb chops for something stupid like $3.50

ya, a +$100 piece of meat isn't something you want to experiment a whole lot with

start with a good recipe and grow from there

what piece of meat costs $100?

the piece of meat we're talking about

fwiw the standing rib roasts i got are not "prime" grade and together are about 80 dollars for 9.5 lbs total. They will go on the Egg at about 11:30 and should be ready before 2:30.

Used a steak rub frombthe store and then I made an herb crust out of basil, thyme, dill, and shallots. Basically a knock off of the hibachi hut recipe.

Also made a pretty good Au Jus sauce to go with.

thanks. i was going balistic because i was told that the inlaws had cherry and apple wood chips but when i went to look on christmas morning there was only mesquite and hickory and i was like oh no, i'm screwed. then i just kept looking and looking and in the corner of the garage i found some apple pellets in some kind of tin can tuna type container that would be used on a gas grill to smoke. opened the can, took them out and the rest is smoking history. close call though and lesson learned. bring your own wood chips if smoking at a house that isn't yours. byowc for life from here on out.

My BIL and I were grilling steaks on Christmas. Instead of using water to spray the flames, we used apple juice. That turned out well. Real well.

Nope, biggest. I've been advocating for daris as best poster/biggest stud for what must be years now. Had a drunken IRL argument with SD about it at fattyfest.
