Lamb shoulder is rubbed, smoked, braised, and then shredded for tacos. The time is paid off perfectly with flavorful lamb which just falls apart.
A few tips:
The recipe says to reduce the braising liquid "skimming off any excess fat." I sent mine through our gravy separator and removed 2/3rds of a cup. Glad I wasn't trying to skim it off.
The recipe calls for tomatillo salsa. We also tried it with red salsa; tomatillo was distinctly better.

This sounds amazing, hipcook! Did you need a smoker to prepare it, grill with wood chips or ???
I really like lamb!

Yes, I've got a Meco electric smoker - it got a couple of hours on the smoke and the a couple more braising in the oven. A very low fire with wood chips would work too.
