Lobsters have 45 minutes to live!

Midnight Smoker

Two 6 lb lobsters arrived today from my parents in Boston (wifes B-Day).....and they have only 45 minutes to say their goodbyes to each other.
Steaming one....(I'm a purist) and doing the other on the BGE....split in half...a little (lots) butter and garlic....on a raised grid and close the lid![p]Life is good.......hopefully pics will follow. I actually took a pic of the two on a test run on my lg Egg and they were a very TIGHT fit....monsters! Paul

Don't forget the green chile powder! (For "Dwell in the Shell" by Houndog). I'm jealous. LOL

Pakak,
Is the green chili powder that you and hounddog refer to also called Pasada?

Pakak

Yo no se. (I don't know) The stuff I found just says "Green Chile Rub" and I found it at Whole Foods. It has some other things in it like garlic and onion but I cannot see them in the mix, so I'm assuming there isn't much in there. It just looks like coursely ground, dried geen chiles. So course, I ground them in my coffee mill til it was a fine powder. Seemed to work well and tasted great.

Midnight Smoker,
how many minutes to steam a 6 pounder, ive never done one over 3 pounds

eggor

Midnight Smoker,[p]I'm kinda interested how they came out. might try the clambake tonite but am interested in which turned out better. plus i really wanna see them monsters.[p]Scott

Midnight Smoker

fishlessman,[p]To steam: 13 minutes for the first pound....then 3 minutes for every pound after that. So a 6lb would takes 28 minutes. I'll have some pics posted soon of these bad boys! They were mighty tasty....... Paul
