cooks choice suggestions for bbq cookoff

[horn section]

I was wanting some ideas (and recipes if you want) for cooks choice to enter in a bbq cookoff. Pretty much anything goes, as long as you can put it on a smoker, except no dessert, soups or loafs. For some reason this year I am coming up blank on what to do. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

This is just a thought... but I never see lamb as bbq. I really don't know why you couldn't slow smoke an entire leg and have it come out just fall off the bone tender and moist. I am a big lamb fan, and have never seen smoked lamb, but I wonder if it would be worth an attempt.... Just a thought.

I actually saw it on the food network last week and thought about it. Some place in the northwest I believe was smoking lamb ribs. Thanks for the suggestion

My brother does this most years for Easter...Leg of Lamb that is. Marinates it overnight in the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, goodness. Not to forget the salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.

Next day remove from fridge in time for LOL to come back to room temperature before placing it on smoker. From that point on it is the same process as smoking a brisket.

And yes it is good stuff.

I did some lamb ribs. They tasted damn good but were a little fatty and greasy. I didn't even make the final table on them. Everybody in the top 10 seemed to do bacon wrapped something, with most of them being shrimp. There is always next year.

On a different note we made final table on beans and if my dad hadn't fiddle farted around we might have done better. The beans needed about another 30 minutes to an hour of cooking.

I placed second in ribs!!!!! THis was basically my first cook-off having my own team. I have helped some before but never did that great. I used my grandpa's rub for the ribs just added more pepper and some sugar to it. I made my own bbq sauce that i put on in the last hour. They were a little sweet at first and finished with some heat. They were damn good but not the best I have ever done. I will take a second place any day.

Once again thanks for the suggestions!!!
