- Wrap in banana leaves.

- Place Lobster directly on grill grates.
- Smoke for 25 minutes. Check to be sure the lobster is cooked- the meat should be white and internal temp 140 degrees.
- Remove lobster tails from smoker.
- Remove banana leaves or foil.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
- Fully soften your butter to ensure the easiest incorporation of the other ingredients into it.
- When pulling the lobster tail out and over the shell, use a gently tugging motion. If it doesn't move easily, wiggle it a bit from side to side. NEVER try to power it out.
- Use lighter wood flavors for smoking the tails. Heavy woods like oak or hickory will overpower the mild flavor of the lobster.
