I have a friend that is bringing a whole alligator "dressed with hat and socks" to a cookout and neither of us know how to cook it. I saw online where people will smoke them so I might try that. He says it's about 4 feet long so not very big. Any secrets or tips that you cajuns can offer a redneck from alabama?

Find someone to trade you a nice brisket for the gator. If no one is willing to trade, cut it up in inch or so pieces and blacken it, also blackened doesn't equal overcook.

They are ok smoked but I have never had one that I tried twice, just a good look for when Florida comes to town.
