Smoked Gyros

I was feeling a little creative this past weekend so I tried my hand at smoking up some gyros.  The recipe I used was courtesy of Alton Brown at Food Network.  Check the recipe here:

Alton Brown's Gyro Recipe

The only variations I made to the recipe was that I used one pound ground lamb and one pound ground chuck instead of going all lamb.  I smoked the gyro loaf fatty style at 250 until it reached an internal temp of 165.  Here's some shots of the process.

This was a great recipe and one that I will definitely make again.  I would recommend trying this one if you are looking to smoke up something besides the usual BBQ fare.
