Grilling/smoking lamb has been on my curiosity/todo list for forever. I finally got the courage to do it. AND IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD.

I am a big fan of Ethan Chlebowski's Youtube videos. He is very science based, often quoting Meathead, Kenji, and a few others of that caliber. (And he gives references, including page numbers!) He recently posted a video for ground lamb kebabs and I totally went for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Totb3CTCuOg

It has been a long time since I have eaten something this flavorful. I am totally sold on ground lamb, even as expensive as it is.

You mix the ground lamb with some harissa, a bit of grated red onion, some cumin, and salt. Form it into small logs that go on your skewers. Let firm up overnight. Grill over high heat (I used a Kettle with some hickory chunks) until it his 160 F.

Grill some naan. (HEB's naan is not bad at all!) Apply some harissa-greek-yogurt sauce, some julienned english cucumbers, some fresh tomato slices, feta cheese, and more harissa-greek-yogurt sauce and be in peace with the universe.

Stupidly good. Just make this.

Here are my kebabs before they went into the fridge from last night....

On the grill! (Okay, this 80/20 ground lamb does like to flare up a bit...) I flipped every two minutes until 160 F.

Most of everything in place....

Let's add the rest and wrap this up and eat it!

It was so good I ate two and half of my wife's (she is not a lamb fan).

The lamb....there is a distinct flavor different from ground beef....much more pungent isn't the right word, but it is definitely more flavorful. I loved it.

I grilled some Sable fish on my Weber Spirit with grillgrates for fish tacos.

Furikake and sesame seed encrusted seared ahi tuna on an avocado salad with honey-ginger-soy dressing

The dressing was a bit too ginger-forward, but thats fixable.

Finally caught something on the fly rod. And yeah, I used a Smokey joe with a homemade vortex to make fish tacos out of them. WARNING!: bass were harmed in the making of this post. And some tomatoes, onion, cojita cheese, hot sauce, jalapeños, tortillas, charcoal briquettes, etc . . .all harmed.

Had a small prime tri-tip from Creekstone Farms. Dry-brined and reverse seared on the Weber gasser. Served with grilled string beans and Richard Chrz 's roast potatoes.

Some parboiled corn and a prime sirloin top cap. I was at Costco and was looking for Picanha and this was what I found. Rubbed iwith a Santa Maria rub from OakRidge BBQ. Very tasty!!!

So the first cook on the new woodwind was supposed to be chicken tomorrow night. As fate would have it, my wife decided to make a meatloaf tonight and once it was prepped commented that she really didn’t want to turn on the oven and further heat up the house. The light bulb went on full intensity as I recalled that the gentleman I bought the pellet grill from said that the auger motor died when he was firing it up to make…. You guessed it….. smoked meatloaf. What better way to let the woodwind redeem itself AND keep the house cool than for me to move up the inaugural cook?!?! Turned out pretty good for my first rodeo, I think! Stay tuned for tomorrows chicken hasselback episode!!!

The meat I had taken out of the freezer wasn’t thawed enough so I went over to a butcher shop nearby and picked up a couple monster porterhouse cut pork chops. I just hit them with one of the pork rubs that I have way too many of and tossed them on the Recteq at 235. Pulled about 90 minutes later at 142 IT. Didn’t even bother to sear them. Really tasty. But they were so huge wifey and me could only split and share one. Leftovers!! Yum. Simple but effective.
