I just ordered a frozen 19-24 lb whole alligator. Planning on cooking it in early May.... any suggestions on where I can find a good recipe? I tend to buy first, figure what to do with it secondTags: None

Here's a article I read and bookmarked for some reason on smoking a whole gator. Not sure why since I don't expect to ever do this. but might help you as a starting point

I cook on a 15-year-old Kamado #9, a huge beast nearly 6 feet tall and with black ceramic tile on the outside. I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds. Just added an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.

a source for alligators: Amos Moses
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted alligator for living
He'd just knock them in the head with a stump
And just use one hand
That's all he got left cause an alligator bit it
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
The sheriff caught wind that Amos
Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy
But he never come out again
Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayouLast edited by bbqLuv; April 6, 2021, 05:48 PM.

I had to stare at the picture for a bit to figure out what was going on. I like that they tell you how to re-attach the head in the event it becomes detached during shipment. I've purchased turducken from Cajun Grocer. It was well packed with no signs of defrosting when it arrived. I do have to say it was November, however. Their seasoning packets for jambalaya and red beans and rice are also quite good.
