New Smoker (cooking) Bag

Hi, I am looking for one of the new Smoker Bags that I heard about. You just put food in the bag and it makes the food taste like it was cooked in a slow smoker all day, but without all the fuss. How easy while camping is that? Anyone know where to find them?

leg o' lamb a la parachute cord

My hubby and I camp/hunt a ton. One New Years' Eve we were up in the Arizona wilderness on the most rugged deer hunt ever. After some success, we backpacked back down to the truck, cleaned up in the FA-REEEEZING creek and started dinner. We had a leg of lamb kept frozen/defrosting in the truck cooler for the 4 days we were on top of the mountain. When hubby unwrapped it, he realized that it was actually a butterflied boneless leg - great for stuffing, but problematic if you just want a roast leg o lamb!

So, after digging through his backpack he found a wad of parachute cord in the bottom of the pack that had probably been there since he was a boy scout.

After shaking it out thoroughly and checking for cactus spines and creepy crawlies, he used it to wrap the leg. We always have garlic, olive oil and rosemary in the camp kitchen, so he spread a paste of that out on the leg, rolled it all up and secured tightly with the parachute cord. Then he poked holes all over the roast and stuck garlic slivers in the holes. THEN, he rubbed the whole roast with a mash of canned anchovies (indispensible in your camp kitchen), seared it in the hot dutch oven, poured in a little water and closed the lid.

After covering the lid with hot coals, we only had to wait about an hour for the most mouth-watering roast lamb I've ever had. I'm betting we were the only people within a 20-mile radius eating that well that New Years' Eve!

I just felt like I had to throw down for my first post!
