Notes
- Mmm...mac and cheese with lobster...what could sound more delicious? Well, I'll tell ya...take that awesome dish and pair it with a side or two and you'll have a meal that will make you the talk of the town!
- Don't open the smoker lid unless you have to. The smoke and heat should stay inside the smoker where they can do their thing.
- When shredding your cheese, use the fine side of the cheese grater. This will allow the cheese to melt faster.
- Use an oven glove or let the lobster cool a bit before attempting to cut the shell and remove the meat.
