This looks great. I'm now craving lamb kebabs. Unfortunately I have no outdoor flames.

Unfortunately I have no outdoor flames.

You can try it in the oven with the grill on, but would not be the exactly same flavor

I really like the technique of using the cubes of fat to melt their goodness onto the meat as it grills.

That's exactly the point with the lamb fat. Normally I shoud have used tail fat of the lamb which is used in many authentic kebab recipes in Turkey. However here in the Netherlands, it's impossible to find this ingredient, because the sheep here don't have tails It's a fact!

Same here, they dock them.

Yes, the cuisine is very similar. The cuisine in Turkey is a mix of many cuisines, Greek, Balkan, Caucasian, Arabic, Kurdish, Armenian, Iranian etc.. even the names of many dishes are very similar in those countries, maybe a bit of twist in the recipes..
