Lamb Shanks

I am planning on cooking lamb shanks in my smokett and wonder if anyone has any experience with or a good recipe for this amazing type of lamb.

I've smoked shanks for a few hours and then finished off by braising with good success. Very good as a matter of fact. I don't know how they would turn out if you took them to completion in the smoker. I think they really like being braised.

Leg of lamb loves the smoker BTW.

Shanks definitely need braising. Cooking in dry heat will not get them to the tender consistency you want. I've never done it, but it seems reasonable that they would dry out too much as they don't have the mass nor abundance of fat and connective tissue that a pork butt, for example, has. My two cents...but let us hear. you never know...
