For the Lobster:
For the Butter:
Using a knife, cut in the middle of the top of the lobster shell all the way down to the tail. Try to avoid cutting the meat.
Once fully cut, use a spoon to go underneath the top of the shell to separate the meat from the shell. Carefully lift the meat up and out from the shell (while still attached at the base of the tail). Lay the meat on top of the shell.
Using a knife, make shallow slits lengthwise down the meat. Repeat this for all the lobster tails.
In a food safe bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cumin and oil. Make into a thin paste.
Using a brush, lather the lobster with the seasoning.
Using Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal, preheat your smoker to a medium-high temperature of 375F. Feel free to add wood chips or chunks for additional smoke flavor.
Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal lights quickly and burns long. It’s a favorite for barbecue fans because of the authentic smoky flavor it gives to your meals.
Cowboy® 100% All Natural Pecan Wood Chunks produce a smoky aroma similar to hickory, but adds a sweeter flavor to your grilled foods. While they're often used to cook heavier meats like beef or lamb, it also pairs well with pork. When mixed with other woods, it can be the perfect complement to lighter foods such as poultry and vegetables.
Cowboy Oak & Hickory Hardwood Lump Charcoal is made from one ingredient - wood. Made in the USA, we use only the highest quality oak and hickory hardwoods.
Cowboy® 100% All Natural Cherry Wood Chips add a smoky flavor to your grilled foods. The unique crisp aroma from rich cherry wood smoke will enhance any grilling experience. This cherry wood flavor goes well with any meat, but pairs particularly well with beef, chicken and seafood. Like all Cowboy® Wood Chips, these cherry wood chips burn more quickly than chunks, making them perfect for shorter cook times.
