Cleaning Out the Freezer: Rack of Goat
Options

Posts: 2,657
bought this at Blood Farm in Groton MA, before it burned down (since rebuilt). Same size as a rack of lamb. Also used one of the post-Easter discounted boneless legs of lamb that we got for 2.99 a pound. The boys love lamb.
I chunked up the leg of lamb and salted/peppered it. The rack got the same plus some fresh rosemary.
Onto the grate indirect at maybe 275 until it felt rare/mid-rare. No thermapen.
...of course those posted in the incorrect order, but you get the timeline I'm sure.
I rested the rack and then spiked the BGE to sear the leg of lamb. That took maybe 8-10 minutes.
I plopped an ear of corn (grown god knows where) on the plate for the pic. But we had some local spring asparagus too, and a garlicky herbed quinoa.
Neither of the boys dared try the goat. It was even milder than lamb, not as tender, but had a great texture and even temp. The taste of the smoked and crisp fat, and rosemary, hung on for a while. Real nice. The smoke and spice earned bonus points from the wife, and she earned her own by trying the goat with zero qualms. Always game to try new stuff.
smoked the rack with grapevine and lilac, and although i am always dubious, it really does come thru. Very light. Might even say floral, but some of that was probably the rosemary.

Never had goat. Never SEEN goat. Will buy some if I ever do.
You do nice work.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Thanks gents.
I liked it quite a bit. A little tougher than lamb, but still good.
Wife liked it too. Which always helps![social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others] -
Great look cook. I was in Bonaire on a dive trip several years ago and had goat ribs they were fantastic.

Looks good! I'd like to give it a try.

Looks damn good to me. I would hope my kids would hit it but they are equal parts adventurous and candy-ass when it comes to new food. They are convinced sushi is "good" so they would try cuttlefish anus without batting an eye. Rack of Goat on the other hand could be a totally different deal. It would be a game time decision.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

It sure looks like a winner to me. The Goat Gods are looking down from above with envious eyes I'm sure.

@Darby_Crenshaw Darby, I'm sure that you have already tried it, but on the chance that you haven't, give a Birria a go the next time you have some goat meat. It was one of my very favorites growing up.

My older boy will normally eat anything. I cut the rack so i had four ribs and the wife three, and i only half heartedly offered. I sure would have let him try it, if he wanted, but he was mowing thru the lamb chunks and barely grunted.The Cen-Tex Smoker said:Looks damn good to me.

My younger is less adventurous. But still eats a healthy variety. His favorite veggies are broccoli and cauliflower.

I'm actually suprised to hear that Darby. I would have bet good money that you knew what it was. On a seperate note, when done correctly it is outstanding my friend.Darby_Crenshaw said:Birria (had to look it up) sounds greatLocation- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
