Me thinks Aussie is correct. It is very hard for us to help you fix it if you did something that can not be undone! Guess you will have to have mom cook it.

Well, at least she's not drinking it, so there is a positive. Please relay to her from me.. An Australian, and a very proud one. "Do not buy Fosters. Do not drink Fosters. Do not use Fosters for anything connected with food or drink."

This information is only given to you because you are a brethren. Fosters is filth. Australians don't drink it. We just export it and licence it. I don't know why.

As for the lamb... do not even give it to the dog.
As for you... take control of the kitchen. Show your mum the error of her ways.

Now that we are done with that, is it bone in or boneless? Do you intend to smoke it or no smoke? There are a lot of ways to go here.

Bone-in which is best is a simple process for going low and slow, 225F to 275F depending on you preference. I like the idea of mint and salt, I rarely marinade a large bone-in cut.

Boneless on the other hand, I will marinade, and keep temps more in the 225F to 250F range, smaller cut of meat, less heat gives you time to break down connective tissue in the leg. If it was a small lamb, then after marinading, you can go ahead and grill it to medium rare after marinading.

As an aside, I would question the use of any beer with mint, the bitterness of hops is not the best flavor profile for mint flavors, to heavy on the savory side. Lamb being slightly earthy to begin with, you might consider some sweetness next time, at the least a malty porter or stout.

Thank you!

Pay Gerritt, Pay! It's worth every penny of whatever you can afford.

Jim agreed!, I dont have PayPal... never trust EBay... is there a way for a canuck to help the cause? and do I get personal BBQ coaching from a world renowned Q chef?

Just kidding!

I am just getting into the swing of things here.. I am a moderator on Canada's largest fishing forum.. so I have an idea on what costs are involved.. This place is awesome for my other hobby... BBQ!

No doubt in my mind great things are to come here!.

BACK TO TOPIC PLEASE....

Sorry for the rant people.... I apologise. Although I was perhaps a bit nasty... I was just so shocked :shocked::shocked::shocked:

Just some friendly advice. Please don't use beer with lamb unless you are drinking it while you are preparing lamb.

And, if you are using beer with Lamb... please think of me and don't use Fosters. Do your Lamb justice and use a top shelf American Boutique Delicious beer.

Thanks.

Bill
