Looks good! 8)

What does gator in a basic way taste like; I have had turtle and to me it , for a comparison was in the class of dark meat chicken or duck.

Darn that looks good. If I didn't just drive 6 hours the opposite way of Muk I might have taken you up on your offer.

Well swing on by!  Got the gator in the brine and did a couple test chickens on the borrowed smoker to see how to work it.  Tomorrow we will see if I can pull this off!

I got the gator from LA Crawfish Co.  I used to get crawfish from them every year for a boil but DNR won't let them ship live mudbugs to Wisconsin anymore.

Gator turned out great, everyone who was willing to try it (which was almost everyone) loved it and it was gone in no time.   Very clean, tender flavor.  I would compare it to pork tenderloin.  Did pork belly burnt ends and they were excellent as well.
