i've done it a few times... [p]there's lots of different ways to do it, but i keep it simple by cutting them in half, and grilling till they turn white and tasty looking. garlic butter is a must.

bw,
Never done them myself but if I did I would follow Ray Lampe's winning recipe. Go to the forum home page, near the bottom click on BBQ Championships, then look for winning recipe under Rays name.

Rick's Tropical Delight,
I would like more info on that trout. Temp, time, Indirect? Where did you get that bad boy anyway? They have a nice tank at Jungle Jim's down here with live trout. Can't get too much more fresher than that, but they are not like pulling out of a fresh spring in northern Wisconsin. That is the best thing in the world in my opinion. Well, almost the best thing anyway.

bw,[p]Here's the fixed up version. [p]Dr. BBQ’s Lobster with Chile Lime Butter[p]2 whole live Maine Lobsters, about 1-1/2 lbs each
1 recipe Chile Lime Butter (recipe below)
BBQ Seasoning as needed[p]Split the lobsters with a chefs knife. Remove the tails and claws. Discard the rest. Crack the shells on the claws and inject 1 Tablespoon of the butter in each one. Season the tails lightly with the BBQ Seasoning. Grill the tails and claws for about 5 minutes on each side. Spoon some of the Chili Lime Butter into the tail shells. Cook until the lobster is just barely done, about another 4-5 minutes. This will vary depending on your grill. Serve the remaining Chili Lime Butter for dipping. [p]Chili Lime Butter
½ lb butter
Juice of 2 limes
2 T good quality ground chiles
Salt and pepper as needed
Melt butter and blend in other ingredients[p]

first, you have to start with the best lobster tails you can get. i personally get tristan lobster tails as i find them sweeter and smoother in texture than maine lobster tails or any lobster tails on earth for that matter![p]i keep it simple because, after all, we are talking about lobster here. why try to hide the natural flavor? imho, good lobster tails do not need flavor enhancement.[p]then grill them at around 300-350 direct for about 7 minutes and have a look.[p]the tails in the first set of photos were done indirect with the smoked trout and garlic shrimp skewers. i smoked the trout first, then added the tails and shrimp for about the last ten minutes. [p]i make garlic butter in a small cast iron skillet on the egg near the end of a seafood cook. just add butter and some chopped garlic in the skillet and get it hot and bubbly. sometime i just melt the butter in a coffee mug in the micro................[p]<img src=http://my.erinet.com/~pnsonr/biggreenegg/9nov06-041.jpg>

Crab leg,
hahaha!
my dad caught that trout up in bellefontaine at a private trout club... i had it in the freezer since the summer so i thought i'd do a little freezer cleaning and cook up some freezer vittles![p]i smoked that at ~260 dome for 2 hours. lemon slices, rosemary and thyme in the cavity. the best trout i've ever had, period.[p]go getcha some trout from jungle jims! they are a reggae run sponsor (and you can be too)[p]

I did 16 Florida Lobster Tails on my large BGE on Monday night in the rain and dang if they didn't turn out pretty dang good....My old pappy Big John was born and raised in Homestead, Florida back in 1927 and I paid close attention to his lobster grillin' over the years....He was a Master Mess Sergeant in the National Guard in the late 40s and 50s and knew a thing or two 'bout cooking...and making moonshine (but that's another story for another day).....Anyhoo...I learned from him to use a low, low fire....cooking those split lobsters face down 'til the shells turned orange half way up...then flip 'em....until the shells are most or all orange...Then baste 'em hard-n-heavy with butter and heavy key lime juice....That flame will kick up when the butter hits the fire...then flip 'em face down for a little sear at the end....Cook 'em like that and they won't suck....About 8 - 10 minutes cook time....[p]Ed McLean
