I have a couple of 'gigots de chevreau' in my freezer - hind legs of Roe Deer - and from past experience when cooked in a conventional oven, they need either long, slow cooking at around 140C (approx 285F), or cut up and casseroled, again long and slow.
As I'm now fired-up (excuse the pun!!) to try cooking them on my 22" OT, I'd really appreciate some thoughts on the best way to go about it.
@EfkayGeez....no answers here?
Were you actually "fired up"?
...as in coals lit?
Get as close to the temp/ setup as what you're used to with using the oven.....that way you're on familiar ground starting out.....
I would guess here:

(this is after it burned for quite awhile)
Drip pan, whichever seasonings/ marinade works right, then either banked coals on one side ~~ a bunch UN-lit & maybe 10~12 lit at one end of the pile. OR....
A fat snake to get a slightly higher heat than one normally would using that setup....something like this:

Set the food opposite the burn & rotate the grate a few rimes, a little bit during cooking.....
Either set, get a grate temp right next to the food....

..hope this helps..... ;D
Serious apologies for the delay in responding 1bucklie but have been hospitalised for a few days following a car accident.
Heck knows when I'll get to use that technique you kindly illustrated with photos seeing as I now have a wired jaw! Soup and milkshakes suck! Or more correctly, all I can do is suck soup and milkshakes!!!
It'll be about 6 weeks before I'm 'released', so for the moment all I can do is dream about luscious Weber cooked food and watch from a distance.
Sincere thanks once again.
Deeply sorry to hear about your accident but thank God your still here to talk about it. Prayers for a good recovery for you. Hang in there.

@Efkay As everyone else has said. Praying for you and your family for a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear about your accident. That sucks! (see what I did there)
Get well soon! Let us know how grilled venison shakes taste!
Awww folks, I'm quite choked to read all your messages of support - no family - just me and my shadow - but thanks to each and every one of you. I get a kick out of following the various posts here, albeit a steep learning curve when you consider I often have to decipher our common language!
When I'm a little more mobile I'm proposing to build a table to sit alongside my 1989 red 22" kettle.
Thanks again folks!
Hoping for a speedy recovery... make sure it's a large table to accommodate your post-recovery feast!
