Step 2: Chop the Onions and Garlic and Mix

In a Large bowl, roughly mix together the lamb, beef, onion, garlic, and dry seasonings

Line a square bread pan with plastic wrap

Fill the bread pan with the meat mix and put into the fridge overnight

Step 5: Remove from pan

Carefully remove the meat mix from the pan and place onto a square of butcher paper

Step 6: Smoke the Meat

Smoke for 2 hours or so at 180 to get a good amount of smoke

Then bump the temp to a working level (250ish)

Smoke until the internal temp is around 160-170

Step 7: Assemble the Gyros

Rest the meat for 20-30 min in foil

Heat up pita

Roughly slice tomatos and sweet onions

Assemble the Gyros with tomatos, onions, meat, and tzatziki
