Very Interesting. Would love to see more pictures next time including some of the finished product...

7 lb? Just a goat roast? Not cabrito?
-
Try jamming a whole goat into the ProQ
-
sorry I didn't meant that. I only cook 7bl, not a whole goat, sorry
And I will try to take more pic next time, I think I'll try another 7bl in 2 more weeks
but I need some help
I smock with mesquit and I liked, but I will like to try some different wood, but I don't know which one its better for goat?
-
Sounds interesting. Don't know I've ever had goat, but then again, who knows.

I've had goat now. It seems you can't go a block without seeing a shop selling Barbacoa. And damn, it was good. At the Restaurant Depot here they have frozen dressed out goats and lambs.

Luis - I spent the last two years working in Mexico City - Barbacoa and Birria were my absolute favorite meals - both with goat. Lamb and goat is my favorite red meats, and I most often use Pecan wood or Oak when I smoke mine. Oak will be the lighter of the two in terms of flavor. Try either one for your next goat Barbacoa - I think you'll like the flavor.
Where do you get your Maguey leaves? I would be interested in trying this your way.

Well O-Bear, I live in south Arizona, so we have Magues every where. Maybe you can find in a Latin market and I will try smocking with Oak, thanks for the tip. if you live around phoenix and you can't find Maguey let me know, I have some in my front yard.
