Not sure where this should go - I got an alligator, now how do I smoke it?

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing this all done! Make sure to add it too the Show Us What You Are Cooking thread so we can feature it!

I am going with the below recipe, and it is currently in brine in a cooler.

I am going to cook at 225, so I am giving it 8-10hrs.

As for brining, I picked up one of these bags https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/it...x?itemid=35234, and I am pretty happy with it. I only have a foam cooler of marginal quality, so this is an extra layer of safety and thick enough to be reusable.

Pictures to follow.

So, it took about 6 hrs at 225, and it was a crowd-pleaser. Honest review; it was really good, something different and cool looking. Would I spend the money on another one - no, but I am happy it did it Also, jowl meat was the best.
