Langostos Gordos (Fat Lobsters)

Cornbread Willy

I traditionally steam a couple of lobsters for a romantic Valentines Day supper. Sometimes I even share with Sydney.... seriously, though folks, I definitely want to try them on the egg this year. Any suggestions re cooking time and temp after euthenizing the poor critters? I would think they could go on direct. I usually get lobbies that are about 1.25-1.5 lbs each - any bigger and they get kind of tough. Many thanks!

<p />Cornbread Willy, a while back (01/2000), Houndog posted the recipe at the link. I wish I could say that I've tried it (wife doesn'tr really like lobster), but the recipe/method sounded good enough to keep and I know that someday I'll give it a try. The picture is from the original post.[p]Anyone know where Houndog is?[p]Life is GOOD! :~}

<p />Cornbread Willy,
I tried houndog's "dwell in the shell method" and it came out ok. I recommend smoking them with a small amount of cherry wood and basting them with a garlic lemon butter. I cook mine at around 250 degrees or so. The first pic was dwell in the shell, the other pics are my standard cherry smoking.

Gfw,
Wow that sounds good. Not sure I can wait until Friday. Any reason to think that the cook method/time would be any different with a whole body as opposed to just the tail? I don't, but if anyone has an opinion on that I'd welcome it. Wonder where he gets that green chile powder??? Yum.

Cornbread Willy,
When I do Houndog's recipe, I use whole lobsters, and disassemble them before cooking. After knockin' them off with a knife to the head, I remove the claws and the body....then cook the claws around the outter edge of the grill.[p]Houndog makes green chile powder himself, and I was a lucky recipient of some a couple years back. Yum is right![p]Beers!
